Do you ever catch yourself putting off the work you actually want to do?  In his book, Do The Work, Steven Pressfield calls the invisible force that holds us back, Resistance. So in today’s episode, we’re digging into when, why and how Resistance might show up for you and I’m sharing 3 ways – and A’s – to help you move through it so that you can do the work you feel called to do. The 3 A’s:

Do you notice yourself making assumptions about what other people might think about you? And then living into those assumptions as if they're true? In this episode, we're building our awareness of the subtle assumptions we make...about what other people might be thinking about us. We're catching how those assumptions can hold us back and steal our joy. And then, we're choosing our assumptions, so that we can release the ones that limit us and step into the ones that serve us.

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.

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. jessratcliffe.com / jess@jessratcliffe.com / @jessratcliffe Things we mention in this episode: Episode 105 of Squiggly Careers: How to Own the Room with Viv Groskop How to Own the Room (podcast) How to Own the Room (book) My IGTV on The Metronome Effect (5 mins) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jessratcliffe/message

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 Jess jess@jessratcliffe.com / @jessratcliffe.

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 Jess jess@jessratcliffe.com / @jessratcliffe. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jessratcliffe/message

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... Why you might be resisting your inner calling – and how to know if you are. How you can move from resisting to trusting your inner calling. And what you can do to starting hearing and acting on your inner calling more often. 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. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jessratcliffe/message
