In this episode, Peter Salerno welcomes Jan Cocks-Salvemini and Philip Charlton for an honest and thought-provoking discussion on the impact of mindset and language. Jan shares her advocacy for reframing disability conversations, encouraging people to move away from deficit-based thinking and instead recognise capability, potential, and individuality.
Phil complements this perspective by diving into the psychology of mindset and wellbeing, explaining how unchallenged beliefs can limit success across business, health, and relationships. He discusses the importance of understanding personal motivation, values, and purpose as the foundation for meaningful change.
Together, the conversation highlights how leaders, business owners, and individuals can create more inclusive, resilient, and empowered environments — starting with awareness and intention. This episode offers both inspiration and practical reflection for anyone committed to personal and professional growth.
