In this episode of ABWilson's Heart of the Matter, Aderonke Bademosi Wilson welcomes André Bright, a dynamic and multifaceted individual who embodies curiosity, creativity, and compassion. With a diverse background spanning dance, architecture, and coaching, André offers a unique perspective on personal growth and transformation. As an ambivert, he reflects on the balance between his extroverted and introverted tendencies, revealing the ongoing journey of understanding and integrating these aspects of his personality.
One of the key themes André explores is his commitment to continuous self-improvement. He shares candidly about living with fear while still taking action—an insight that underscores the importance of perseverance and courage in the face of uncertainty. This mindset has served him well in both his personal and professional endeavors, including his recent achievement of co-facilitating a leadership workshop in Sierra Leone. André's experience in coaching also plays a pivotal role in his life, as he works to make a meaningful impact on his clients by helping them navigate their own journeys of growth.
In addition to his professional achievements, André introduces the concept of André Days, which are dedicated self-care days without guilt. These moments of respite allow him to recharge and prioritize his well-being, a practice he believes is essential for maintaining balance.
He also emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries, particularly the ability to say no without feeling the need to explain oneself. For André, this is a critical component of self-care and a vital step in ensuring that his energy and time are allocated wisely.
Another significant topic André touches on is the word he has chosen to guide his year: surrender. This concept, which he explains in depth, holds great meaning for him as he learns to release control and embrace the flow of life. His reflections on surrender provide valuable insights into letting go of resistance and trusting the process.
For those interested in exploring these themes further, Andre recommends two impactful books: The Surrender Experiment by Michael A. Singer and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Both texts resonate with the values of curiosity, self-exploration, and personal evolution that André champions.
