Theatre, TV and film create simulations of environments to transport the audience somewhere else. Similarly here at Argenta Wellness and those who work using biophilic design, we create harmony by mimicking nature to bring about a simulated environment of an outside space to bring peace and calm to workplaces, healthcare and so on. In this podcast we speak with actor Paul Ryan (Brexit: The Uncivil War and Christine Keeler) who enjoyed a 3-year run in London’s theatre-land in Mamma Mia. Paul describes how with backdrops and actors’ states of mind, they created and conveyed the outdoors, how the summer and heat of a Greek island were conjured in the staging of Mamma Mia.
Paul is also an executive coach, and he goes on to describe how he, in his professional practice also creates environments where people can change their mindsets and shift into a positive state of mind. Paul helps people improve their presentation skills and gives teams the mechanisms to cope with the anxiety of change. In this podcast we pick up insights into how Paul trains you to gain mastery over anxiety through posture and silence, allowing your auxiliary thinking to come forward to help find your own answers.
As with everything a positive environment is key.
