Jonathan is someone who spends his life implementing powerful change in business. He helps Managing Directors of Companies who are frustrated with their Field Sales Performance, to get more from that resource. This is achieved by Field Sales Accompaniments which very few other Trainers undertake. 

Jonathan believes that there is no better way of understanding the strengths and weaknesses of individual Sales people than by seeing them in action with their Customers.

It’s easy to describe someone who spends a bit too much time talking about her career or who never seems to doubt himself as a narcissist, but the trait is more complicated than that. It truly is a complex topic.

Terry McCoy is an experienced multi-disciplined therapist with extensive experience providing one to one therapy for emotional regulation including stress and anxiety management and trauma management. His work with victims of Narcissism is extensive and in this conversation, he shares some of his experiences and powerful insights.

Narcissism does not necessarily represent a surplus of self-esteem or of insecurity; more accurately, it encompasses a hunger for appreciation or admiration, a desire to be the centre of attention, and an expectation of special treatment reflecting perceived higher status. Interestingly, research finds, many highly narcissistic people often readily admit to an awareness that they are more self-centred. A high level of narcissism, not surprisingly, can be damaging in romantic, familial, or professional relationships, so this podcast may prove to be a practical guide to helping you navigate through those tricky scenarios.
