Synopsis
A podcast for those wanting personal development but want it made simple and easy to understand and more importantly use, take action and make a difference to your life and the world you live in.If you want to change the way you feel and the way you act and react. If you have negative emotions, behaviours, that you want to lose forever and create something special in your life then I think you will like what you hear.This genre of self-improvement, self-development and mastery of your mind has, I believe, been made over complicated and secretive and here I am de-constructing the processes into their simple forms that we can all understand and easily use. Theres no interviews just little ol me ;0)Who am I and what do I do?Paul Clough.I now love helping making changes in people and guiding them to create the life they really want. A personal look at me: The above sentence was not always the case and being the best in the financial realms of the building industry was my aim and getting there by any means. I now know this is, and was, the worst way ~ even if I did make director of one of the largest building companies in Cambridge by the age of 30. One of the major realisations came on my first ever training in hypnosis. I found that its not a win lose world and that a win win is only a low basis to live. Being true to your beliefs and coming from a place of integrity where service is paramount. This understanding together with lots of NLP skills helped create my last partnership in the building industry grow from a turnover of £800k to £16m in less than twelve years and that can only be done with giving more than expected. Another shaping of me came from two traumatic events in my life that happened within six months of each other which created a number of major changes in me and by beliefs in what is possible. I have written about my experience and how I dealt with it but more importantly it really showed me my love for my three boys and theirs for me and resulted in the step up to become a trainer of NLP (which I never intended) and my close and exciting work with two of my sons. In supporting Joseph and help create change in people in our trainings and his wonderful life changing Be your potential weekend and with Luke the continuing development of Cambridge Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis processes. My relationship with my third son Daniel just keeps getting better and better too. Not knowing how good I had become in change work in the beginning I generally studied, practiced and saw clients then things started to happen when I started to work following just my instincts. Two clients come to mind both in effect dying from the effects of what was happening to them and the way they felt and within one and two sessions respectively not only won the will to live they changed virtually in front of my eyes and being apart of that process was and is the best feeling alive. The above are just three of many brilliant learnings I have had in my life.The more formal bit Paul CloughI am a Trainer and Master Practitioner of NLP and Hypnosis and am passionate in assisting those who want to reach their full potential and his special skills form a unique foundation for success. I constantly seek and develope new skills and learnings through advanced levels of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy , Hypnosis and to improve everyone I work with.I have an understanding of the mind/body connection which enables me to create in my clients the difference that makes the difference ~ from excellence to outstanding.For those that want qualifications:Certified Trainer and Consultant of Neuro-Linguistic ProgrammingCertified Master Practitioner of NLP & Time Line TherapyCertified Master Hypnotist and HypnotherapistTogether with Luke and Joseph I have consistently strived and succeeded to create ways to improve peoples lives and give new beliefs of whats possible.

FMQ 301 No One Listens
10/08/2020 Duration: 08minNo One Listens A Five Minute Quickie Podcast Are you listened to but not heard? Just as importantly Do you listen and not hear? On the last podcast, I talked about letting our music out, the metaphor of our passions and visions even maybe our worries and thoughts. Isn't it just as important to really listen to that music of others and really hear what is being sung or said? And the same applies, I guess, to our song being heard too. Hopefully this short podcast will inspire you to open up your senses and really hear and be heard.

#194 Don't Die With This Unplayed Inside You
08/08/2020 Duration: 23minDon't Die With This Unplayed Inside You You have to press play and never pause Yep, I know I bang on about pausing but this is a different pause button. You have probably if you're like me have this pause button engaged more often than not and when we have we are denying everything and everybody listening to our tune and our song. This podcast was sparked into my brain after listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer and watching his film 'The Shift' and probably a few more things that just seem to come together. You and I are placed on the world and in this life for a reason and what a waste if we do not fulfill that and the thing is when we do life just get better. And that's what we ultimately want I guess, well if you're listening here, a life well lived and may I suggest a life that includes selfless service - I do hope so - I know so :O) This is as usual awfully vague and hopefully vague enough to spice up your curiosity to dive in with me, you won't regret it, my friend. As usual, all I ask in return s that you sha

#192 This is ruining my life Pt1
25/07/2020 Duration: 35minThis is ruining my life Pt1 At the request of one of our Personal Development Unpluggers It's nice to receive emails requesting help and I take that as a massive compliment and trust I can do it justice - I'll do my very best. I think we can all relate to this issue where we worry so much about getting something right or in our internal words "I mustn't GET THIS WRONG" And what happens? Yup - It goes wrong and the more we try, the more anxious we get it just gets worse. Then we start to question our capabilities (imposter syndrome) and remember all those other disaster times - What a great skill - if we used it wisely. Fear not, this can be changed, and without all that pain. Gain without pain, quick and comfortable change is where we're going if you are happy to follow me. We will start by understanding what's going on and where the positive intention is still trying so hard to help you and get your unconscious mind to recognize the conflict it has between the intention and those anxious behaviors.

#191 Intuition doesn't work
18/07/2020 Duration: 28minIntuition doesn't work How can I say that when I talk about taking intuitive action? That's what you're probably thinking. Have I been wrong all these years? Is the second key of the five keys of success wrong? The answer to all those and any other question about this being wrong is....................... NO - a big fat NO I was reminded of this by Scott Adams, of Dilbert fame, a nice guy and a hypnotist to boot. You see there's a little or you might say big thing to consider and that's EGO and knowing the difference between your ego and your 'thoughtful' You. Hmmmmmmmm. How do we tell the difference? If I told you here there would be no point in listening and all said and done this is a podcast sending golden nuggets to your brain via your ears so you will just have to Listen Please Pay this Forward by sharing this https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/191-intuition-doesnt-work/ and all episodes of the Personal Development Unplugged podcast Shine brightly Paul Please remember you can leave a comment or e

#190 Write that suckka down
11/07/2020 Duration: 30minWrite That 'Suckka' Down And never say "I Wisha" again I think we've all said, "I had that idea but I didn't do anything about it - Now I Wish I'd ........." This is just not my thoughts but those of the likes of Jordan Peterson and the great Joe Rogan- Boom! And I have a personal story that if I hadn't followed my own advice (and I know we all forget to do what we know best) something special may have been missed. When I say special, I mean both to me and maybe a whole lot of issues. Hey, I know I am being somewhat vague again, but I want to pique your curiosity because when your curiosity is piqued you will learn so much more. You see, what I dream for you is the same for me, that is when you are given that flash of inspiration or an idea comes out of the blue you get to reap every great and rich morsel from it. Not only you get a great benefit, everything and everybody does to :O) BOOM! Oh My, let me know what you think, email me, feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com and Let's share this so that somet

#188 This Is New - Really
01/07/2020 Duration: 24minThis Is New - Really "What was I thinking of?!!!!???" Have you ever said that just after doing something that just wasn't good enough, in fact, well below what you expect of yourself? I know I have and not in so nice words ,O/ It wasn't us but it was and if we try to fudge it, make excuses we don't feel right - do we? In fact, we are uncomfortable inside, misaligned, and incongruent. We know we underperformed and really don't need anyone to tell us because we know better than anyone. And there's nothing more simple to never let it happen again, well nearly never. This is new, it's complicated and never told before - NOT!

#186 Finding a better way to success
24/06/2020 Duration: 29minFinding a better way to success Is there a better way to succeed? Find success? Probably. We can always make things a little better. At the core though, I'm thinking, the principles are similar but what are those principles? I was reminded of these principles by a side note from a conversation and I'll tell you all about that and examples from my life that the conversation reminded me that I had forgotten. You will probably know these principles yet knowing and doing, as we know, is not the same and certainly doesn't yield results. On the other hand - you may not and knowing them will make a huge difference to results you get in life. I hope you enjoy this re-remembering and you, like me, develop what clearly works and achieve success in every area of your life - because you can, when you DO! Hey! That's Mastery :O) Let me know what you think and if you did something different, what that was.

#185 A Stretch - Uncomfortable But Not Painful
20/06/2020 Duration: 34min#185 A Stretch - Uncomfortable But Not Painful There's a fine line from being totally motivated, moving forward, and finally being successful AND being overwhelmed, demoralized, and not getting the result you want. It's about going between what you 'kinda' know and what you 'kinda' don't' (from Jordan Peterson) and he's so right! Let me give you some examples from my own life and hopefully, I'll be able to go deeper into this important concept of learning. When you get it right you can make massive progress. If you get it wrong you can go from confused, where you're just about to get it Ah Ha! moment to total overwhelm. When you know this and the simple (In simplicity there is genius AE) process I'll share with you you will be amazed, grow in confidence and success YAY! :O) As always let me know what golden nugget you took away feedback@personaldevelopmentunplugged.com And Please 'pay it forward' by sharing this episode and the podcast https://personaldevelopmentunplugged.com/185-a-stretch-uncomfortable-but-
