Here's a comment I received this morning:
"Ben shows us that opening up our own vulnerabilities, allows us to have the empathy,
compassion and purpose to help others on their journey to problem solving to hopefully
make choices for the greater good. We need lots of Ben's in this world."
 
Ben's conversation covers his new enterprise called Cards Of Life, which is a coaching
programme; he talks about how developing coaching skills empowered him along the way;
Phone Savvy was a brilliant telecoms enterprise he developed while inside, which within
three months had established itself in prisons across the country then went international;
he spoke about SVI (Shame/Violence Intervention), a respected therapeutic approach to
working with violent offenders which was brought to a halt after ten years of beneficial
practice in HMP Wandsworth ... and more. Ben is full of insights and challenging aphorisms,
e.g. "Pain is just weakness leaving the body."
 
Ben and I talked for just over the hour. An hour well spent.
 
If you give it a go, please leave a comment, like, subscribe etc. It all helps to promote
these positive stories which ideally would end up in front of young people too.
 
Thanks in anticipation,
 
Chris

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
