Hey Psyche, how do I?

Inspiration can occur at any point. We can be watching a YouTube video, talking to friends or have a eureka moment in the shower. This inspiration can lead us to starting something, whether that's a diet or launching a business. Great we've started, but how many times do you start something only to fall back into an old habit. Did you know 80% of new year's resolutions are broken by February! Our lack of consistency can make it hard for us to stay the course and can therefore sometimes lead us back to square one. In this episode I'm joined by Sales & Leadership Coach Dee Mullin, Success Coach & Writer Lisa Jeffs and Sales and Career Strategist Christine Sarno. They'll be sharing some great insights and ways of dealing with this fear of being consistent, how you can ensure you maintain what you have started,therefore creating the habits to support this. If you always find yourself starting something new, only to find yourself a few weeks or months later giving up on it, then tune in!

Do you have something you keep putting off? Something you think you need more time to research or know more about? Is this a common habit that you find occurs regularly. This habit of overthinking is common within many of us as our brains are wired to protect us from perceived danger and to survive. Therefore we can become trapped in our thoughts of all the reasons why we shouldn't do something, which can mean we miss out on opportunities and fulfilling our potential. Today's episode focuses on this very fear of overthinking and I'm joined by Change Specialist & Head Coach at imachangemaker.com Andrew Tilling, Success Coach and Writer Lisa Jeffs and Sales and Career Strategist Christine Sarno. This episode will provide you some actionable insights into dealing with the process of overthinking and how you can prevent yourself from getting caught in the trap of it. If you're constantly overthinking every scenario, putting things off, thinking what could go wrong, then tune in!

The fear of failing is a common reason as to why we never start something, whether it be a passion or a business. We're naturally fearful of the unknown, with our mind creating all the possibilities of what could go wrong and also the fear of how we'll feel at the end of this. It can be crippling this fear and it can also be damaging when we do have perceived failures occur in our life. In the second instalment of Face Your Fears week, I'm joined NLP Practitioner and Coach Sarah Gregg, Change Specialist & Head Coach at imachangemaker.com Andrew Tilling and Founder of Mindful Talent and Executive Coach Alister Gray. My guests on the episode will be sharing their perception of why we sometimes have this innate fear of failure, where it stems from and most importantly how you can overcome this. If you are constantly worried about the end result or your perception towards failure being of a negative one, then tune in.

On a daily basis we directly and indirectly engage with people whose opinions may influence how we go about living our life. These opinions can be at times valuable, however we can also get into a state where we are constantly fearing what other people think and therefore not being able to be our true selves. We can go about life sometimes with a facade to as a result of this which provides no fulfilment and growth. In the episode today I'm joined by Sales and Leadership Coach Dee Mullin, Founder of Mindful Talent and Executive Coach Alister Gray and NLP Practitioner and Coach Sarah Gregg. They'll be providing you with some great insights into becoming more effective at dealing with other people's opinions and how you can become more mindful of how and who you spend your time with, to be able to get over this fear.

We are educated about numerous things throughout life, but at no point are we really taught about how to truly understand or manage our emotions, if anything only on how to hide them. Emotions are actually neutral, they are neither positive or negative, it's our perception of them that pigeon holes them into either of these. All of our emotions are designed to support and aid us in some way, but to be able to utilise that we must rewire our thinking around them. This week I'm joined again by Sales and Leadership Coach Dee Mullin. Dee and I will be discussing in further detail why we have a misunderstanding of our emotions, some examples of where this very fact can impact us in a negative way and how we can begin to rewire our thinking around our emotions to ensure they serve us in a positive way. If you want to get some great insight and understanding of your emotional intelligence and how you can manage and understand it more effectively, then tune in!

As people we want to feel appreciated, enabled and valued by others. We expect nothing different in our career, but we have all experienced at some point, leaders who seem to miss the mark on this. There are a number of attributes that make great leaders, but one of the key ones is a leader knowing he doesn't always have to be the smartest person in the room. You see when leaders encourage others to shine, play to their strengths by letting others around them utilise their own, they lay the foundations for success to be built on. In this episode I'm joined by CEO, Keynote Speaker and 5x TedX speaker, Bobby Umar. Bobby and I are going to be discussing why it's essential leaders realise they don't always need to be the smartest person in the room, the impacts it can have on them and those around by ignoring this, along with how you, as a leader, can become more aligned to this. For anyone in a leadership role or looking to move into one, this episode is not to be missed!

Change doesn't happen in an instance, it's a process over a period of time. But that process isn't always going to be easy. There's going to be times when you feel like quitting or that you've taken a step backwards. Patience is integral to change in the long term, but so is consistency, in the short term. It will take time, but you need to be consistent over that time, whilst having the patience to remind yourself it won't be instant. In this episode I'm joined by Top 40 Under 40 Award Winner, Digital Marketer and Speaker Fabio Marrama. Fabio and I are talking all about why we need to practice the combination of both patience and consistency when going through a change in our lives. We'll be talking about why both are equally important, what challenge arise if these skills are not observed and how you can become more effective at utilising them.

Having a clear vision and goals are important ingredients for success, but these alone are not enough. You need to have a plan of how you're going to execute on these goals and most importantly hold yourself accountable to doing so on a consistent basis.

In this week's episode I'm joined by Lauryn Evarts Bosstick, Founder of The Skinny Confidential, a world renowned blog and brand, empowering women to be the best version of themselves. Lauryn and I will be talking about why some people don't hold themselves accountable, why it's fundamental you do so and how you can focus on holding yourself more accountable.
