Show Notes
Paul talks to high-performance coach and author, Marilise De Villiers, about her groundbreaking new book, ‘ROAR: How To Tame The Bully Inside And Out’, a work intended to give perspective and insight on how to deal with both the external bullies who seek to derail our ambitions, and the internal bullies that sometimes emerge to do the same.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Once we become aware of how bullying can work, even on a subtle scale, we realise how unfortunately prevalent it is in today’s society, and how it has affected our own personal history.
- Especially in the business world, where hierarchies naturally exist, bullying can be seen as the norm; passed off as management style or ambition.
- Bullying often emerges from a sense of entitlement, and can manifest itself in numerous ways, from verbal and physical abuse, to more subtle forms of sabotage.
- Technology is an enabler, and to help us to achieve more. Social media itself can be a hostile environment from time to time, but we must remember that it is a tool that can do good. In the wrong hands, it become a tool for something much darker.

‘One of the miracles I see is this absolute necessity to slow down’

ABOUT THE HOST
One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of. He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:
“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”
Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity.
Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.
