Preparing to start

This week, we’re starting at the very beginning.

You’ve decided you have a goal – maybe you want to become an accountant, or pass your driving test, or run a marathon. Congrats!

So, why can it be so hard to start something new, even if we want to? What is it about fresh challenges that can either light us up or make us shy away? And what might help us take the first step?

This week, we sit down with five-board accredited life coach Michelle Elman. Known as the Queen of Boundaries, Michelle is an author, broadcaster, and public speaker, and all-round expert in helping people face their demons and rise to personal challenges.

From coping with pre-exam nerves to dealing with envy when people post their wins on social media, we’re looking at how we can clear the path ahead and get working on our goals.    

This is On Your Marks. Because you’ll never know until you try.
