Last week, I was interviewed by the DrivenWoman team on the power of positive habits and how we can create them. And I'm excited to share that conversation with you today.

You'll discover why I have cold showers (I know, I know), what my morning routine looks like and hear me apply the Unleash Your Extraordinary framework to creating new habits.

I'll be speaking at DrivenWoman's Festival of Doers on Friday June 7th 2019, if you're in London and fancy a day of new insights, actions and hanging out with me.

What’s one habit you’re happy to have started recently? Let me know over on Instagram.

Do you ever feel stuck – like your growth has slowed or stalled altogether? This memo is for you. 

Inspired by a group coaching session I ran last week, we dig into how we can move from feeling stuck to taking control of our growth.

As always, I'd love to hear from you – if this memo resonates, let me know on Instagram: instagram.com/jessratcliffe

Want more?

In today's memo, we're riffing on the topics of change and identity, how one can make or break the other and how if we want to make a lasting change, we might want to start on an identity level.

As I mention at the end, I would love to hear from you...

Message me at [email protected] or @jessratcliffe on Instagram with your answers and I'll get back to you.

In today's memo, we're digging into why we – you and I – fear rejection. 

We uncover when and how it shows up and how – with the awareness of what it sounds like – we can start building the habit of moving through it to show up more powerfully.

Does this memo resonate with you? I'd love to hear how – send me a little note to [email protected] or if you're listening on Anchor, you can message me directly in the app and I'll get back to you.

Having coached hundreds of future (and present) leaders in the last two years – from London to San Francisco and companies including Salesforce and Virgin – I've noticed a pattern. There are three common blockers that hold us back from taking our impact to the next level:

Today, we're creating confidence, which feels like the bed rock of all three. 

We're unpacking what confidence is, debunking three myths that block us from feeling it and taking three steps to create confidence right now.

Do you ever feel blocked from taking action? And find yourself spinning up everything that could go wrong vs. right?

In those moments, it’s likely a limiting belief – an assumption you’re making about what’s possible for you – has kicked in; hijacking your thinking and stopping you in your tracks.

In this memo, we're running through a technique that will equip you with the steps to break through your limiting beliefs when they appear.

You'll discover...

What are you holding on to that's no longer serving you and your growth? How are you fighting for your limitations vs stepping into your potential? 

What stories are you telling yourself that no longer have to be true? What if they were never true in the first place.

Let's dig into why we hold on to stories, fears and beliefs that no longer serve us. And how – when we have the awareness of what we're holding on to – we can let those limitations go.

Share your thoughts, ask a question or say hello – I'd love to hear from you:

Last week, I went to a talk by Lewis Howes (School of Greatness) in London. It was such a great talk and I walked away with a smile and a number of powerful "a-ha" moments. One in particular has stayed with me. It was a question Lewis asked us in the context of how we want to grow: 

What terrifies you?

When I heard this, my response surprised me because nothing jumped to mind! 

On one hand that feels incredible – and I feel a sense of pride – because I’m doing things now that would’ve terrified me a few years ago. On the other, it feels like there's an opportunity for even more growth. 

As you'll hear in this memo, that question ignited a desire to think bigger and bolder and I hope it sparks the same for you.

When we're on the cusp of starting something new or making a change we want to make, it's easy to get stuck. We overthink ourselves into a feeling of overwhelm and hold back from taking action.

In today's memo, we're exploring how we can get out of our heads and into action by testing our assumptions.

What's blocking you from creating the life you want? 

What narratives or limiting beliefs are holding you back from becoming who you want to be? 

In this memo, we'll identify what's been blocking you from making the changes you want to make. 

I'll guide you through the second step of the Unleash Your Extraordinary framework – Deconstruct – to help you see those blockers as assumptions to be tested rather than thoughts to be believed.

When we're finished, you'll have a quick and powerful technique to return to whenever you're feeling blocked.

I'd love to hear if you're listening to this podcast over a quick hello in an email or Instagram DM.
