LET’S GET VISIBLE…

When I sat down to watch Brené Brown on Netflix I had no idea what to expect.

What happened next was an hour sitting with my mouth agape while this incredible lady spoke directly to my heart about courage and vulnerability.

Never before had I thought of vulnerability being a marker for courage – the more vulnerable we are, the more courageous.

I was also in awe of her stage presence – the connection she clearly has with an audience, her ability to stand up there in front of thousands of people and calmly and confidently tell her story.

She connected with me directly. She spoke directly to me.

It totally blew me away.

Watching Brené talking about playing in the Big Arena made me realise that, while I’d definitely stepped foot in it, I hadn’t boldly strode out to the middle, looked around, opened my arms, and made those real connections.

I made a decision there and then to change that.

I AM bold, vulnerable and courageous.

I BELONG in the big arena, making that connection, being visible, showing all of you that vulnerability is a strength, inspiring you with my courage.

Since watching Brené I’ve made some decisions and taken HUGE ACTION to put myself smack bang in the middle of the arena, here’s what I’ve done:

DROP THE MASK

I’m fully exposed now. I’m showing ALL OF ME (well…not literally but you know what I mean).

For the first time I feel like I’m being 1,000% myself, no holding back, no trying to be something I’m not, no hiding who I really am.

It feels vulnerable, exciting, and LIBERATING to finally be standing so firmly in the centre of that massive arena, stripped bare, and saying

THIS IS ME, THIS IS WHO I AM, THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER

Dropping the mask has had a very interesting affect on my incredibly inspirational connections. They are messaging me, practically every day, telling me that

I’m like another woman.

They are feeling more engaged, connected, and inspired.

I’m making them laugh, relate, and realise they aren’t the only ones who haven’t got it together all the time!

Incredible isn’t it, that actually just by being who I truly am, I’ve achieved what I wanted all along!

DROP THE EGO

In a couple of hours I’m heading out to share my story about Purpose and Vision to 300 sixth form students.

I’ve ALWAYS wanted to be a motivational speaker – so I put myself out there, literally and figuratively.

I put someone speaking on stage on my visual vision board, I spoke the words aloud into the universe, and when an email popped into my inbox about sponsoring an event I said ‘That’s not for me right now…but I can come in and present!’.

To my shock (and initial horror) they said yes!

Speaking in front of an audience is where I see myself, it makes me feel so alive and I just know that this afternoon I’ll be on a massive high.

But it’s also incredibly, excruciatingly exposing. You battle with your ego as it tries to pull you back out of the arena and not place yourself in such a vulnerable position.

I knew I needed help. I’m a BIG believing in working with coaches and mentors in every area of life – be that physical fitness, wellness, mindset, business… we all benefit from someone in our corner pushing us on and holding us accountable.

So I got a coach, and spent a few hours with her learning all about warming-up, stage presence, eye contact, and Wonder Woman power poses.

I’ve written and rehearsed. I’m ready.

Not only that, I’m EXCITED, not scared. I cannot wait to get out there and share my story. I’m beyond thrilled that today I have the possibility of inspiring and motivating people at the very start of their journey.

What an unbelievable honour.

DROP THE CURTAIN

I’m stepping out from behind my computer screen!!!

It’s become a sort of security blanket for me over the years – I get to connect with people from the safety and security of my little home office, and I’ve made some unbelievable incredible connections this way…but

the BIG ARENA CALLS!!

I have such a massive passion for training and mentoring people – it’s not just about business, it’s about how I can make them feel.

I help people believe in themselves and realise that they are capable of more than they think.

It’s literally my calling in life – to tell the world YOU CAN.

AND I want to make proper connections. I want to look people in the eyes, hug them when they achieve greatness, I want to KNOW them.

So, I’m stepping out from behind my computer screen and inviting you to spend two days with me IN. REAL. LIFE !

I’ve taken the Clarity Academy – my 8 week online group mentoring programme – and turned it into a TWO DAY LIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE!

Bloody hell…I’m SOOOO excited for this.

Magnetic Marketing & Mindset is about changing lives, it really is as powerful as that. Over two days we’ll be stripping businesses back, smashing through limiting beliefs, implementing strategies, and coming out the other side stronger, braver, and more confident than we ever thought possible.

I can’t wait.

If you are ready to make this personal, and you are ready to step into the BIG ARENA and take HUGE ACTION, I’m ready for you!

You can book a clarity call to get to know me a bit first, we’ll chat about where you are now and where you want to be, and enrol once you are sure spending two days with me will have the impact you deserve.

All the details are here, and I’d be beyond grateful if you could share this with all of your connections, because I genuinely want to spread the love and help as many of you as I can create the businesses and lives I know you are capable of.

So, this is me, in the big arena, with my big girl wonder woman pants on.

I’m off for a shower and one last rehearsal, and then I’m stepping out and doing what I was put on this planet to do – Motivate and Inspire.
