049 Can Astrology save YOU Time? Ira Kiourti PhD & Abigail Barnes

📣 This week on The Time Management Podcast my guest is Ira Kiourti, PhD, (D.F.Astrol.S., Cl.Hyp., MLitt, MPhil, RTT, Cert.Psych.Astrol.) a Professional Astrologer with 30+ years experience, an RTT qualified  therapist, and a Doctor of Philosophy, specialising in Logic and Metaphysics.

→ You’re willing to see things differently
→ You've been wondering what’s going on in the world right now
→ You’re ready to reframe what you know to be true and consider a different way of looking at life and time!
Ira has this to say about her journey with astrology: “Astrology is one of the first languages I learned as a child and it has never ceased to surprise and delight me. Contrary to popular belief, it is a rich symbolic language which facilitates self-knowledge, personal empowerment and the exercise of free will. It allows us to step outside our programme - to become lucid in this dream, or hit "pause" in this virtual reality game we’re in - and decode it. It is precisely this mental shift which allows for greater freedom and conscious choice.“ 
“Millionaires don’t use astrology, billionaires do.” J.P. Morgan

Ira’s early fascination with time
A lifelong seeker of meaning
Studying Astrology from the age 12

About Ira Kiourti:
Ira Kiourti, PhD, (D.F.Astrol.S., Cl.Hyp., MLitt, MPhil, RTT, Cert.Psych.Astrol.) is a professional astrologer with 30+ years experience. She is a Doctor of Philosophy, specialising in Logic and Metaphysics (University of St Andrews), an RTT therapist, and has attained the prestigious Diploma of the Faculty of Astrological Studies (FAS) in London. 
Ira took her first astrology class at age 12 and was already doing charts for friends and family at age 15. She went on to study with Liz Green and Charles Harvey at the Centre of Psychological Astrology (CPA) in the 90s, attaining their Certificate. She concurrently completed a BA(Hons) in Fine Art, at Chelsea Art College, then went on to work in the film and TV production industry, whilst continuing her astrology practice. 
At age 29 Ira returned to University to fulfil a lifelong dream of studying Philosophy. Starting with a conversion Masters at the University of Glasgow, she moved onto the demanding MLitt programme at the University of St Andrews, where she finally attained her PhD, under multiple scholarship awards. Ira went on to publish and teach Philosophy (Logic and Metaphysics) both at St Andrews and at the London School of Economics (LSE). Back in London, Ira returned to the study of astrology, eventually completing her Faculty Diploma, and becoming a member of the International Association of Professional Astrologers (APAI). Seeking out further techniques to help her clients, Ira concurrently trained as an RTT therapist and clinical hypnotherapist. Besides seeing clients, Ira spent years ghost-writing astrological content (copy) before finally creating her own site, YourAstroGenes.

About Ruth Penfold:
Ruth Penfold has been a People, Culture and Talent expert for over two decades, and has built and rebuilt teams and cultures for companies like Shazam, Onfido and bp Launchpad as leader and Chief People Officer. 
Having experienced the chaos of rapid growth first hand, she learnt how to build human centric, vibrant cultures that scale. She also experienced first hand the challenges of both getting there and operating at that level as a woman, but doing so in a way where she and the humans around her truly thrived. 
That is what has inspired her to build Bloom, a leadership methodology originally solely for women, but now delivered to both cohorts, teams and individuals of all genders, depending on the client's needs. At its heart, Bloom is a methodology that builds self awareness, confidence, ownership and authenticity.
