Jeannette discusses the concept of going backwards in order to go forwards in life and business. She shares personal examples from her career and life where she had to take a step back or sideways in order to ultimately move forward.

From struggling to find a job after graduating to making a sideways move to a different industry, she emphasises the importance of embracing change and learning from setbacks

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Sometimes in life and business, it is necessary to go backwards in order to go forwards. This means that setbacks or taking a step back can actually lead to future progress and growth.
• Life is not always a straight path, and there can be many different routes and choices to make. It is important to keep it real and share our journeys authentically, as success is not always linear.
• Going backwards or sideways can provide an opportunity for reflection and gaining clarity. It allows us to reassess our goals and identify alternative options that may lead to greater success.
• Embracing setbacks, rejections, and failures as learning experiences is crucial. These moments can provide valuable lessons and pave the way for future opportunities.

BEST MOMENTS

"Life isn't always a straight path... we might have a perfect plan, but then it doesn't quite work out that way”

"I had to go backwards in order to go forward... I graduated with a first, but then had to take any job I could get."

"Not everything is rosy in the garden, you're going to get knockbacks, you're going to get rejections, you're going to fail loads, just accept it, embrace it, take it as learning."

"Do not worry if you need to go backwards to go forward... the worst thing you can do is sit in a situation which you're not happy with, you're not progressing, you're not getting the results that you want."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette talks to Chris Marsh, an analytical hypnotherapist and shamanic healer, who shares his fascinating journey from a career in IT to becoming a shaman, discussing his experiences with spiritual healing, past lives, and ancestral trauma.

Chris explains the concept of shamanic healing and how it combines various modalities such as Reiki, mediumship, and plant medicine, and focusses upon the importance of self-awareness and self-love in the healing process, offering practical advice for those interested in embarking on their own journey of self-discovery.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Self-awareness is a crucial starting point for personal growth and self-discovery. By becoming aware of our reactions and behaviours, we can better understand ourselves and identify triggers that may be holding us back.
• Taking time for self-love and self-care is essential. It is not selfish to prioritise our own well-being and give ourselves the time and space we need to recharge and nurture our own needs.
• Finding the right therapist or healing modality is important. Building trust and rapport with a therapist who aligns with our beliefs and values can greatly enhance the healing process.
• The mind-body connection is powerful. Our mental well-being can have a significant impact on our physical health. Stress, anxiety, and unresolved trauma can manifest as physical ailments, highlighting the importance of addressing our mental and emotional well-being.

BEST MOMENTS

"The word actually comes from Siberia originally, and the Siberian shamans migrated across to the US and the Americas."

"Everybody can do the healing work. Everybody's got that connection to spirit and to enable you to get that connection and reconnect to it."

"Everybody comes with a spiritual purpose, I believe. So I think it's a combination."

"I think we're all born with a certain physiology of how our minds work, like a blueprint."

ABOUT THE GUEST

Chris Marsh is an Analytical Hypnotherapist, Shamanic Healer and Reiki Master working with individuals and businesses.  Helping people become brilliant by helping them take back control of their lives and find true fulfilment.  Using a number of healing tools to resolve the root cause traumas and situations that resulted in the fears and blocks that hold them back in life.

Chris spent 23 years in the IT industry, from software developer, to project manager, to head of software development for a market leading healthcare company managing 65 software professionals.  My passion for supporting others with their mental health came from years of coping with his own extremities of anxiety, stress, depression IBS and migraines that left him exhausted, burnt out and regularly ill.  Always determined to avoid medication and taking long term time away from work, and feeling abandoned by mainstream healthcare, Chris spent over ten years in search of a solution. Devouring countless books and online resources, then discovering mindfulness and alternative healthcare, which took him through Yoga, Acupuncture, meditation, and Reiki.  Ultimately finding Analytical Hypnotherapy enabled him to let go of the core negative beliefs and behaviours that were creating his symptoms and holding him back.

Immediately Chris started learning the same therapy process and within 12 months had quite the IT industry all together and was running his business full time.  Since then Chris has expanded his spiritual growth and healing learning Shamanic practice, having completed three 12 months programmes is working with his partner Tasha to heal and teach others the shamanic way with  1 on 1 healing and shamanic retreats.

Jeannette shares valuable insights on how to create good habits in order to achieve desired results, drawing inspiration from the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear.

Jeannette breaks down the process into four key stages: cue, craving, response, and reward. By making habits obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying, you can learn how to implement and maintain positive habits in your lives

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Creating good habits involves four key stages: cue, craving, response, and reward. These stages are essential for establishing and maintaining habits.
• Making the cue obvious is crucial for starting a good habit. This can be done by creating a habit scorecard and implementing specific intentions.
• Habit stacking is a useful technique where a new habit is added onto an existing, well-established habit. This makes it easier to incorporate the new habit into daily routines.
• Designing your environment to support your desired habits can reduce friction and make it easier to follow through. This can include removing temptations and setting up specific spaces for different tasks

BEST MOMENTS

"It takes time to get fit. It takes time to lose weight and it isn't immediate."

"Never miss twice because if you miss twice and then you miss a third time, then you miss a fourth time, that good habit is going to be much harder to start and it may, you may never get it back."

"What started out as being very difficult for me to start the podcast now is much more seamless."

"There are no limits to what you can achieve. But by having these good habits in your daily routine, your weekly routine, your monthly routine, whatever it is, it is going to allow you to unlock that true potential in yourself."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette talks to Maxine Laceby, the founder and former CEO of Absolute Collagen, who discusses her journey of self-discovery and entrepreneurship.

Maxine shares her personal story of starting her business from her kitchen table and the challenges she faced along the way. She talks about the importance of authenticity and being true to oneself, as well as the power of emotional intelligence in building a successful brand. Maxine also delves into the benefits of collagen and how Absolute Collagen has become a go-to product for both men and women, promoting overall well-being and empowering individuals to embrace their true selves

• Absolute Collagen is a liquid collagen supplement that is designed to improve hair, skin, nails, and overall well-being. It is made from hydrolyzed marine collagen, which is highly absorbable and stimulates the production of collagen in the body.
• The product is suitable for both men and women, and its audience is getting younger as people recognise the importance of collagen for prevention and overall health.
• It’s crucial to have authenticity and be true to oneself in business. Maxine believes in building a brand that reflects her values and principles, and she encourages others to do the same.
• Absolute Collagen is committed to doing the right thing and has pursued B Corporation status, which recognises businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

BEST MOMENTS

"I just wanted to be Maxine and nothing else, nothing more, nothing less. And that's what I believe our brand stands for."

"We are an authentic company. We share the same values, the same principles, same morals, and that makes life a lot easier."

"We want her to be seen, to be heard. I want her to be able to turn up as herself, be confident, to see herself represented."

Jeannette discusses the power of words and how they can greatly impact our lives. She challenges the old saying that "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," stating that words do have the power to hurt or uplift us.

Jeannette delves into four key areas where words play a significant role: the inner dialogue we have with ourselves, the words we use when communicating with others, the tone of our language and body language, and the importance of word replacement to shift from negative to positive thinking

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Jeannette encourages being conscious of the words we use when communicating with others. Use motivational, supportive, and encouraging words instead of aggressive or negative ones.
• Our body language and tone of voice can convey more than the words themselves. Jeannette stresses the importance of projecting positivity, energy, and confidence through body language and tone.
• Replace negative words like "but" with more positive alternatives like "and" or "so." Replace phrases like "I have to" with "I get to" to shift from a negative to a positive mindset.
• Believe in yourself and create the life you deserve. Jeannette encourages retraining our brains to believe in our abilities and potential

BEST MOMENTS

"Words are like verbal bullets. They can shred you."

"The stories that you tell yourself are really important. You need to train your inner brain."

"Choosing those words is really important. It can uplift, motivate, guide, support, or it can really crush people."

"I am entrepreneurial. I am an entrepreneur. I am a great corporate CEO, but I am also an amazing entrepreneur."

She also highlights the need for greater visibility and investment in women's sports, emphasising the value that individual athletes can bring to businesses and the wider community

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Adele acknowledges that she had natural athletic ability from a young age, but she also emphasises the importance of hard work and dedication in achieving success. Talent may open doors, but it is the effort that takes you to the top.
• Pushing through emotions and fulfilling your commitments, helps to demonstrate resilience and determination.
• There is a need for more female role models in sports, particularly in individual sports like athletics. Adele believes that visibility and support from businesses are crucial in promoting women in sports and creating equal opportunities.
• Adele encourages businesses to consider investing in individual athletes and not just team sports. She suggests that athletes can offer valuable skills and insights to businesses, such as motivation, inspiration, and resilience, which can benefit employees and contribute to better results

BEST MOMENTS

"I think there is a balance of obviously recovery is huge in what I do and I have to make sure I'm sleeping and I'm getting rest and I think I have this year become better at recognising when I'm getting run down because that's when you have to say I need a day off."

"I think that to see change, there needs to be a merge between investment into sport, to see it not just as sport. Because I think that's sometimes the hesitancy with a lot of, I guess, businesses, they think, well, sport doesn't align with what we do. Sport aligns with everything that businesses do."

"I think we really need to make it clear that it's never about males versus females. I think that it's always about females standing on their own on the same level as males, not to fight against males or to compete against males. It's about having the equal opportunity, the equal visibility."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeannette discusses the topic of body confidence and its impact on mindset and overall well-being. She acknowledges the pressure created by social media and societal expectations to look a certain way, but emphasises the importance of embracing one's authentic self.

Jeannette also shares personal experiences and interviews with two successful business owners who promote feeling good about oneself, providing tips for building self-confidence, such as establishing a well-being routine, seeking out positive role models, being mindful of social media influences, treating oneself, and valuing time.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Embrace your authentic self, and learn to get comfortable with who you are and embracing your unique qualities and attributes.
• Establishing a routine that focuses on both physical and mental well-being can have a significant impact on how you feel about yourself. This can include activities such as exercise, meditation, and visualisation.
• Seek out role models who inspire you and help you become a better version of yourself. These role models can be found in various areas of life, including media, friends, family, and colleagues.
• While social media can have positive aspects, it's important to be aware that the images and content presented may not always reflect reality. Avoid comparing yourself to unrealistic standards and be cautious about the content you consume.
• Be kind to yourself and reward yourself for your accomplishments, no matter how big or small. Additionally, recognize the value of time and use it wisely, focusing on activities and relationships that contribute to your personal growth and happiness

BEST MOMENTS

"There's so much pressure out there in terms of images on social media, maybe sometimes we think that we need to look a certain way, behave a certain way and that can really impact how we come across, how we feel about ourselves and also just our general mental well-being."

"But if we can enhance that and make you feel good about that, then that's an amazing thing to do."

"So, you know, to take a collagen supplement, it's not all about wrinkles on your face, but in general around your joints, kind of your muscle health, etc."

"We all have different parts of our body that we don't like, we're not happy with. We've got wobbly bits, right? But if you let that infiltrate your brain too much, it can really affect how you feel about yourself, your confidence, and essentially how you put yourself out into the world."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

Jeanette interviews Barbara Muckermann, the President and CEO of Silversea Cruises. Barbara shares her illustrious career journey, from her early exposure to different cultures and languages to her various roles in the travel and luxury industries.

She discusses the importance of sisterhood and supporting women in business, as well as the power of being true to oneself. Barbara also highlights the unique aspects of Silversea Cruises, including their focus on luxury experiences in remote destinations and their commitment to sustainability, sharing insights into the company's newest ship, Silver Nova, and the combination of Silversea's heritage with the resources and support of Royal Caribbean Group

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The company places a strong emphasis on its crew, considering them to be its biggest asset. The crew's empathy and training are key in delivering exceptional service and anticipating guests' needs.
• Silversea's acquisition by Royal Caribbean Group has provided the brand with the necessary resources and support to grow and innovate while maintaining its distinct identity.
• Silversea's newest ship, Silver Nova, showcases the combination of Silversea's heritage and Royal Caribbean's engineering capabilities. It features an asymmetrical design, allowing for more glass and natural light, as well as an open pool deck that offers unobstructed views of the destination.
• The company is committed to sustainability and has built Silver Nova to be the most sustainable ship in its class, reducing greenhouse emissions by 40% compared to previous ships. The partnership with Royal Caribbean Group has enabled Silversea to invest in sustainable practices and technologies.

BEST MOMENTS

"Success is a very dangerous teacher, because the day we believe we got it all, that's when, first of all, I think we stop enjoying because part of working for me is also learning new things every day."

"I always consider my biggest strength the fact that I was born blonde with blue eyes, because many stupid men, they think you're stupid. And so they treat you like a blonde."

"The strength about an asymmetric ship is really the consumer benefits that come out of it. So the whole structure of the ship is inside, which allows the whole ship to be built in glass. So the first thing, which is difficult to explain on a podcast, but this is really the ship of light."

"So sometimes, as much as we were talking before about just open yourself to the universe and be out there, but also, don't be afraid of saying no if it doesn't feel right, because it's much harder to say no than yes."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
