Do you ever notice yourself dancing around the edges of your vision? Holding back from taking action, from showing up with unwavering self-belief...and you're not sure why?

In this episode, we’re exploring the power of self-commitment and how it can move us from inaction to action, from holding back to moving forward.

I hope you enjoy it!

Do you ever wonder why it feels so hard to make the change know you want to make? In this episode, we get under the skin of why we resist change, even when we want to make it. We unpack the 3 ingredients that need to be present for change to happen, according to the Fogg Behaviour Model for behaviour change. And we look at how we can harness those 3 ingredients to actually make the change we want to make.

Let's dive into how you can turn your ideas into action and find focus when you feel overwhelmed.

Say hello

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing an idea that’s close to my heart for so many reasons – not only is it the foundation of my work as a coach, it’s the idea that changed my life.

It’s the idea that we can build the person and leader we dream of being. That we can take the visions we have for ourselves and our future and proactively turn them into reality.

So if you’re curious about how you can start applying this idea to your own life, this episode is for you. And as I mention at the start, this topic feels so big, it’s going to trickle into a second-parter next week.

I hope you finish this episode with new insights, ideas and clarity for the change you’re seeking to make – and the person and leader you truly are.

Things we mention in this episode:

This week, the theme across a number of my coaching clients was a desire to “take up more space” – to be more bold – so in this episode we’re exploring ideas for how you can do exactly that. Whether it feels like you hold back when you have an opinion to share or sense that you’re playing smaller than you know you could, this episode is for you.

We talk about The Metronome Effect, which I shared in an IGTV this week, and how you can harness that tool for landing on your blend of boldness.

I hope you finish this episode excited to start owning your opinions, ideas and epic-ness even more – and feel ready to take your presence and impact to the next level.

Things we mention in this episode:

This week, we're getting curious about trust – trusting ourselves, our ideas and our inner compass. Inspired by a podcast I've loved listening to this week with Seth Godin & Chase Jarvis and a coaching session with a new client who finds themselves struggling to start, we're exploring a few ideas for how you can start before you feel "ready".

We talk about the idea of The Compass vs. The Map, the story behind this idea and how our compass can help us shift from holding back to taking action on our ideas.

I hope you finish listening to this episode, feeling excited to test out your compass and turn the one idea we uncover together into reality.

Love

Things we mention in this episode:

You might notice that today's episode has a slightly different title. Over the last couple of weeks, I've felt a nagging sense that things have got a little boring. It feels like I've been wrapped up in creating what I think you might enjoy or need and so, have lost touch with what I feel inspired to share.

This episode is my first step towards reconnecting with that – with sharing the stories, insights and ideas that I feel excited to share with you. I hope you enjoy this episode and as always, if you have any questions or thoughts you feel called to share, I would love to hear from you.

Here's to being more us...oh, and the rocking horse that made me sh*t myself.

Love

When you're at a crossroads or feeling stuck, how do you decide which path to take or how to move forward?

That's what we're uncovering today. 

In this episode, we're digging into...

At the start of this episode, I share a book recommendation: Never Split the Difference. It's a brilliant book for unleashing your communication skills, from everyday conversations to more nerve-wracking negotiations.

If you're enjoying The Unleash Your Extraordinary Podcast, I would be so grateful for a rating and review in iTunes, so other people can discover the podcast too.

How often do you say yes when you want to say no?

In this episode…

Plus, there’s a bonus coaching challenge to help you reclaim your no’s, which will leave you with more freedom, focus and fun by the time we’re done.
