Poor Gigi is sick this week, and so it's just up to Dan to talk about the power of language, and the way language can be utilised to say far more than it needs to.
Underestimating our use of language is underestimating our capabilities to empower valuable thinking skills!

When was the last time you said "No" to something and felt bad about it? When was the last time you DIDN'T say "No" to something and wish you did?
Gigi and Dan give a little breakdown on the problems we give ourselves by failing to say "No". Everyone loves a "Yes person", except for the "Yes person".

The Super Straight movement is a new grooming method for specifically young men to be pulled into transphobic, hateful and seriously harmful rhetoric.

Following a casual heart to heart over the phone, Gigi and Dan decided to bring their conversation to the airwaves, about men, men's mental health and what masculinity has become.
This is a more serious episode, so take it as such. There is a lot for us to discuss, and this is only part 1 of what we hope with be a 2 part series.

When was the last time you entered a room and went "Why did I come in here?"? That was you talking to yourself. But see, talking to yourself got you in that room in the first place.
In this episode, Gigi and Dan give you a GLIMPSE of understanding how to create more positive self talk, or at least, give their own examples of how THEY do it...!

Mental health in lockdown is no doubt either reaching its limits, or blown right passed them. Gigi and Dan take a little look at why that might be.
We are also joined by Jonny Elphinstone, the Head of Safeguarding at City of Bristol College, to talk to us about his role, and what he has to offer!

This week, Gigi and Dan talk about Self Confidence which, unlike Self Esteem, is something we can develop at any age, but can truly be developed later in life. How, you might ask? Listen and find out!
Also in this week's episode, we have a very special guest on! Andy Forbes, the principal and CEO of the College joins us for a chat, and it turns out he's actually more fond of prison than you might think!

Gigi and Dan take on one of the bigger topics we are all coming up against, particular during the lockdown! Dan has given up Nicotine, and as of this episode going out, he'll be 10 days off. What has this journey taught him? What does Gigi have to share with us about it as well?

Hello!
Welcome to the G&D show with Govinda and Dan. We are both Life and Performance Coaches working at City of Bristol College, supporting students in their development, whatever that might be!
We started this show because not only are there 1,000s of students out there looking for support and guidance, but there are 1,000,000s across the country!
In this series of episodes, we look to cover time management, personal accountability, wellbeing, relationships and more!
