The Rewriters

Welcome to today's Quick Rewrite' edition of the podcast. In this special series, I’m releasing a weekly episode where I discuss the topic I wrote about in my newsletter and blog that week.

This week we’re going back to basics to the very foundation of creating a work life that actually works: the values-led career.

During the episode I explain:

• What it means to have a values-led career
• Values alignment Vs values conflict at work
• What values-conflict looks and feels like
• How to identify and understand your core values

I also share some questions to help you assess (and improve) your own values so you can create a more values-led career. Download your Values Identification exercise: https://bit.ly/3zPdEP6

I’ve got a solo episode for you today and it’s all about – productivity! Over the next 50 minutes, I’m going to pick productivity apart… and then I’m going to show you how to be more productive.

In the episode I cover:

• Our obsession with productivity
• The problem with productivity
• Toxic Vs Conscious productivity
• My relationship with productivity – then and NOW
• How to design your days for maximum impact, minimal depletion.

I’ll also share the system I’ve developed to help you design your time to be more consciously productive – it’s called ‘The Rewrite Planner’. ‘The Rewrite Planner’ helps you to identify your unique energy cycle, categorise your tasks into 5 different activity types, and then map them to your energy cycle for maximum impact with minimal depletion.

Download your copy of ‘The Rewrite Planner’ to start putting these concepts into practice in your own life: https://www.rewriterewrite.com/rewriteplanner

Today I'm speaking with Nicki Coe - Marketing Strategist, Business Coach and Co-Founder of the marketing agency Luna & Lion.

Nicki worked in corporate media for many years but always knew she wanted to work for herself someday. Although she was constantly coming up with business ideas and plans, nothing stuck – she was always stumped by not having all of the answers and all of the detail laid out before she began. It was only when she overcame the old story that success requires you to know where you want to go that she was able to embrace and trust the pull of the next step, rather than planning for the big end destination.

Ultimately, it was through this letting go of control and the need to know for sure that led to her creating two successful and fulfilling businesses.

During our conversation Nicki shares her thoughts on:

• Overcome the need to know for sure in your career
• Starting a business with your best friend
• Using your emotions and feelings in goal & business planning

Today I’m discussing one of my favourite works topics – personal brand – and why I believe it is fundamental for creating a career that works for you.

In this episode I cover:

• What a personal brand is and why it’s so important
• What a personal brand ISN’T
• 3 personal brand ‘myths’
• My simple formula for rewriting your personal brand

I also share how I came across the power of personal brand quite unexpectedly in my career and then used it to get noticed (and promoted) at work for doing the things I loved most. Personal brand helped me to rewrite my career story multiple times and ultimately allowed me to create and launch my own business.

In this episode I speak with small business PR expert and Founder of the PR Set, Pippa Goulden. Pippa is passionate about giving small business owners the knowledge and confidence they need to get their business visible and help them to grow through PR. What sets Pippa apart is the way she widens access to PR and demystifies an otherwise expensive, intimidating and inaccessible industry. Pippa rewrote her own career story leaving PR agency life and work as a magazine editor to create a business that makes PR accessible and doable for businesses who may have felt it was out of reach for them. She loves PR and she loves helping people succeed and now she does both in a way that also works for her and the way she wants to live.

During our conversation we discuss:

• How we get PR wrong
• The importance of mindset
• Getting over our fear of rejection
• Pippa’s guiding principles for self-promotion

Pippa also shares the old stories she had to let go of to create her business and the work/life she now has.

Welcome to 'The Rewriters' podcast. In this episode I speak with Sarah Potter AKA La Dolce Vita Coach. Sarah is a Hypnotherapist and Emotional Intelligence Coach, she offers Reiki, Marketing for healers, coaches and therapists and she's also a Vegan Cake Maker! Sarah describes herself as a 'multi-potential' woman. We talk about what this means during our conversation, but essentially Sarah has lots of loves and different threads to her career. She is unapologetic about it and she loves to help other women unfurl their own multi-potential careers too.

Coaching and hypnosis helped Sarah get unstuck from an outwardly successful life in international marketing that left her feeling hollow inside. Using many of the tools we discuss in this episode, she was able to build a life that embraced her love for travel, service and creativity – all supported by a portfolio (or multi-potential) career.

During our conversation we also discuss the role intuition and values played in her career changes and try to dispel some of the myths about changing your mind mid-career.

My guest is Izzy McLean, a Transformational Coach and founder of The Whole Of The Moon, who works with women to help them make the changes they want to see in their lives. One of her key programmes She Bangs the Drum is dedicated specifically to women wanting a more positive relationship with alcohol.

Driven by her desire to understand and get a handle on her relationship with alcohol, Izzy spent many years studying the science and practice of behaviour change before training as a coach and resigning from her leadership role in education to start her own coaching practice. Now, she's on a mission to share what she has learnt and help other women make the changes they want to see in their lives too. During this conversation Izzy and I share the reasons why we each decided to reassess our relationship with alcohol and where we’re at in our own journeys. This episode was created for anyone who has a niggle that their relationship with alcohol might not be working for them either.
