More Than a Lumpy Jumper

Bridge Forster and Bobby Davis

An affectionate, pre-politically correct term to describe a female soldier. Derived from the wondrous vision of voluptuous thrusting funbags, tightly encased in an issue woolly pully, bouncing across the parade square. WTAF!! Meet Bobby and Bridge who have something to say about this perception of women in the Military and much, much more. These two irreverent, life energised women have known each other for over 30 years and have LOTS to say about their experiences of life, leadership and being led

Being a Heart Speaker

More Than a Lumpy Jumper ·

2024/02/06

What have Barry Manilow, Bernard Matthews and Bernard Manning got to do with speaking from the heart? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! But other than this slight confusion about who’s who, Bobby and Bridge do manage to get into the topic as to why it really is SO hard to speak from your heart to another’s. Fear of rejection, vulnerability? Putting on an act to mask true feelings? Or blasting when you haven’t spoken what’s truly in your heart and kept it bottled in? Do any of these sound like you?

2024/01/09

Well…you may feel like Bobby and Bridge are splitting hairs here as they try to fathom the distinctions between a vague and probably unachievable New Year Resolution versus making a Commitment…and then where the heck does an Intention fit in?

2023/12/26

Bobby and Bridge do love the curiosity topic. Or is it more their toddler predilections of asking Why? Either way, they are very aware that curiosity as part of our make up has such benefits. It can make you happier, strengthens relationships, expands empathy and boosts achievement to name but a few. So join these two inquisitive creatures as they hand out some gifts to improve your curiosity. It really didn’t kill a cat! Links Britannica’s Curiosity Compass | 10 Ways to Improve Your Curiosity

Centering is not just for Christmas

2023/12/12

Centring is not just for Christmas because…. it’s a practice to help all of us whether we are celebrating this holiday period or not…it’s equally a practice that could help all of us every day of the year. So what is Centring? Centring or Grounding (interchangeable) usually refers to our mental and physical state of mind. It’s the place we know we have to get back to when we’re not feeling like ourselves. Bobby and Bridge chat and offer gifts a plenty of things you can do to help you back to Centre

2023/11/28

Episode 5 – Being Your Authentic Self (or Keeping it Real!) Bobby and Bridge talk about showing up as their most Bobbyist and Bridgeyist selves and what it’s like when you don’t. The difference that others can feel when you are all in and when you are not. And then once again, they meander off topic and begin surmising who would play them in the movie version of themselves. There’s even a story about stockings. Honestly, who let these two loose with recording equipment. Link Authentic Leadership

Being comfortable with curiosity

More Than a Lumpy Jumper ·

2023/11/07

Curiosity starts with building a safe space for questions. Questions DO NOT mean you are somehow lacking. That is Boll*cks! Think about children you know, FOREVER asking “Why?”. Yes exhausting but SO necessary for learning and progress. When did you last ask Why? Join Bobby and Bridge as they explore the power of curiosity, harnessing playfulness for creativity (with or without alcohol) versus hiding your light under a bushel, accepting the status quo and missing a place where new possibilities can
