Maria Doyle is one of the most passionate women I have ever interviewed. Refreshingly candid, she is completely dedicated to facilitating "Quality Learning Experiences"  that create real change in the world. Maria takes the guesswork out of how to create a powerful learning journey so you can deliver 5-star courses, workshops and presentations.

I have personally worked with Maria and experienced her laser focus in helping me to improve the quality of my flagship course for confidence and clarity in a Next Chapter Business, Aligned, and I am excited to be able to share a slice of her expertise with you in this weeks episode. The insights we share in this wholehearted conversation are relevant and hugely valuable to anyone who wants to be a catalyst for change - to help their clients to improve in any area. These core learning principles can be used in online courses, live workshops, coaching, training and more.

Like most of us in our Next Chapters, Maria is intent on making a difference with her unique skills and experience, leveraging all of her diverse skills and roles into the business that she has today. She has extensive international experience, teaching, developing and managing courses in Australia, Indonesia, Japan, the UAE, the UK, Hong Kong and Kiribati but her life mission is now "to take the lack-lustre courses, workshops and presentations of this world – both virtual and live – and transform them into ‘it-changed-my-life’ experiences for people".  

Like your clients, students, soon-to-be-raving fans.

Grab a pen and paper and get ready!

Maria has provided a fabulous bonus for this Episode - her Training Skills Assessment so you can rate your current skill level and see where improvements and tweaks can be made to deliver that quality experience that creates raving fans - you can access these here.

Kylie Patchett had a “chiropractic adjustment of the soul” back in 2012 when her Father passed away and she realised with a jolt that he had lived a life out of obligation and duty, never allowing who he truly was to emerge.

She was following in his footsteps and it was not working.

But to leave her Corporate role, the security and the prestige of significant achievement, was that a good idea?

She felt the fear and did it anyway, and that is a very apt description considering where she focuses her attention and expertise today, helping female entrepreneurs to recognise fear as a normal, healthy response to change and to move through it.

As Kylie says 'Bless you Fear, for showing me the edge of my known zone - I'm here to grow, so thank you"!

In this Episode Kylie walks you through the most common self-sabotage cycles and shares her ABC method for avoiding getting stuck so you can build the rock solid self belief that allows you to access the field of fluid potential in your business and life.

Kylie has provided a fabulous bonus for this Episode - her best selling Making Friends with Fear Kindle Book and audio book - you can access these here.

It was 2009 when her Mother passed away when Kerry Jeffery paused and took a good look at her own life. She realised that her Mum's life had been quite unfulfilled and that her own was feeling more than a little like "groundhog day".

And that's when she decided it was time to change.

Kerry had always wanted to work with people, supporting them to become their best selves and so she gave herself full permission to do whatever it was she needed to do to pursue this next chapter in her own life with full authenticity and curiosity. This journey began with becoming a Louise Hay "Heal Your Life" Trainer and has continued ever since as she has gradually added layers of experience and insights.

"As an Entrepreneur today there is no mould to follow for many women" says Kerry, "our Mothers and Grandmothers  didn't do this. We need to forge our own true path. We need to be careful not to look outside for validation or approval - this is never permanent. But Self-love and self-approval? Now that's true vaccination against what the world may hand out".

Kerry shares a wealth of wisdom and actionable isights in this weeks episode, helping you to define yourself from the inside out as you move into your own Next Chapter. I know you'll love her as much as I do!

Kerry has provided a powerful dialogue exercise that will help you to communicate & negotiate with ease please take the time to download this valuable formula

Larissa Halls is a woman who has had a profound impact on me personally. One of my Belief Buddies introduced her to me a few years back and I began working with her on a fortnightly basis as my Mindset Coach almost 2 years ago. I know without a doubt that many of my leaps forward in personal and business growth during that time have come as a result of the conversations we have, the way she challenges my perceptions and default thinking. And that's why I was excited to interview Larissa for this weeks episode and to share some of her insights and perspectives with you.

Some of the most enlightening work I've done with Larissa, and we discuss these concepts in the episode, is that our voids drive our values and that everything that happens to us can be viewed as BOTH negative and positive - we are to seek balance in our perspectives if we can take the time to pause and evaluate them. As difficult as it can be to find the growth opportunity inherent in a challenge that has knocked you for six, with courage and self-awareness you can and this is an invaluable skill to develop for both your entrepreneurial adventure and life in general.

Larissa has provided a powerful exercise that will help you to step up and claim the value and the impact of your work in the world - if you have ever felt doubt about your ability to help others, please take the time to download complete this worksheet!

My guest this week, lovely Image Coach Leanne Mulcahy, speaks the wholehearted truth - "Whatever you’re wearing, if you’re not feeling good about who you are when you look in the mirror and think, “Am I worthy of showing up?”, it’s going to be really tough to actually dress that body of yours". That's why I always start from the inside and work my way out with clients whenever I work with them".

Self-worth, that topic shows up all over the place doesn't it? That's why it's at the core of my own Next Chapter message! It cuts across everything we do and never more so than when it comes to our personal style, creating a style that is aligned with who we are, so we can show up in the world with authenticity and confidence.

Leanne talks of the "dressing for your personality philosophy", letting go of the idea that there are strict style rules to follow and instead, to explore what the woman you have become today wants to express.

If you are keen to begin to explore and expand your own Personality Style as you are evolving in your next chapter, Leanne has provided us with a great resource as a starting point for Personal Style Clarity and you can download it here.

How do you start your day? How do you end your day? I'm a big believer in the power of Intention - making a conscious choice to embed a supportive routine into your day. I'm not talking perfection or rigidity here, just a gentle commitment to yourself, to create an atmosphere that sets you up the likelihood of a more successful day, because you have chosen to create a positive headspace, even if you've only managed to take 5 minutes for yourself.

In the past I fell into the routine of waking up and immediately rolling over the check my phone for emails. Immediately plunging into headspace of my To Do list. Immediately feeling the pressure descend, the pressure that scattered any lingering remnants of restful slumber!

I usually followed that up by arriving at my desk in a rather hyper state after the crazy morning breakfast, lunch boxes, school bus and train run, plunging into my To Do List that had been taunting me since 6am.

And the evenings? Quite often I fixated on what I didn't get done and thus the whole slightly crazy routine would repeat itself in the morning. Groundhog day.

And when I finally realised that this wasn't serving me (rising stress levels anyone?) I began to open to an alternative way of being, creating what I have termed "The Bookends of my Day". It's taken awhile for me to discover that works best for me, I can say with conviction that there really are some simple changes you can make that will make a significant difference to your days too.

I've made a copy of my "Weekly Planning Guide" available to you - this has been an important next step for me to ensure the feeling of focus and flow continues throughout my working days once I've "bookended" my morning. You can download a copy right here and hope you find it valuable too - it's a little different from a normal planner!
