When we start thinking about changing jobs, or career direction, our mind often gets into fear or doubt mode. And this tends to get us stuck, instead of moving forward with concrete action. It's very normal by the way. But if we don't address those mental blocks, we will stay where we are with increased dissatisfaction.
I created a workbook so you can work on removing those mindset blocks by yourself. In this episode I share the 5 most common blocks I've seen working with hundreds of clients over the years, together with ways to work on your mindset.

Do you feel in control in your career + life? Or does it feel more often like there are too many demands and not enough time? Most of us need a method to prioritise in our lives, so we can yield the results that we want (and avoid burning out).
In this episode I share why we might find it hard to prioritise, then a proven step by step system that will help you regain control over your time and to-do-list. This is like a mini masterclass on time management that will bring you more productivity and focus on the right things. A must listen for everyone!
Please share with a friend or colleague as we can all benefit from better prioritisation in our lives (and this is never taught unfortunately!..) + leave me a review if you found this useful or would like more masterclasses like this in future episodes.

In this episode we get into what is standing between you right now and your desires: the discomfort zone. You will learn why we feel so much resistance with it, and get a refreshed perspective on it - I like to call it the 'growth zone' for that reason. I break down for you the process which takes place when you're trying to make a change, and how to get through your discomfort zone instead of avoiding it. You will leave feeling motivated to try it for yourself, which pays huge dividends when it comes to your life fulfillment.

This year I #ChoosetoChallenge the conversation around gender equality. We are waiting for external organisations to drive change, which is slow. Instead I show you how you can start feeling equal today by how you think, feel and act. It takes two things: to stop overgiving, and stop underasking. Happy #IWD2021.
