In today's memo, we're riffing on the topics of change and identity, how one can make or break the other and how if we want to make a lasting change, we might want to start on an identity level. As I mention at the end, I would love to hear from you... What's one change you've made that's stuck? What's one change you want to make that you're struggling to crack? Message me at jess@jessratcliffe.com or @jessratcliffe on Instagram with your answers and I'll get back to you. The podcast I mention is: "How To Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind For Automatic And Lasting High Performance" by The Mind Your Business Podcast with @JamesWedmore. jessratcliffe.com instagram.com/jessratcliffe --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jess-ratcliffe/message

In today's memo, we're digging into why we – you and I – fear rejection.  We uncover when and how it shows up and how – with the awareness of what it sounds like – we can start building the habit of moving through it to show up more powerfully.

I'd love to hear how – send me a little note to jess@jessratcliffe.com or if you're listening on Anchor, you can message me directly in the app and I'll get back to you. jessratcliffe.com instagram.com/jessratcliffe --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jess-ratcliffe/message

Having coached hundreds of future (and present) leaders in the last two years – from London to San Francisco and companies including Salesforce and Virgin – I've noticed a pattern. There are three common blockers that hold us back from taking our impact to the next level: Lack of clarity Lack of confidence And lack of consistent action Today, we're creating confidence, which feels like the bed rock of all three.  We're unpacking what confidence is, debunking three myths that block us from feeling it and taking three steps to create confidence right now.

Do you ever feel blocked from taking action? And find yourself spinning up everything that could go wrong vs. right? In those moments, it’s likely a limiting belief – an assumption you’re making about what’s possible for you – has kicked in; hijacking your thinking and stopping you in your tracks. In this memo, we're running through a technique that will equip you with the steps to break through your limiting beliefs when they appear. You'll discover... why our limiting beliefs show up how to catch them when they're hijacking your thinking and what to do to turn your limiting beliefs into positive action Next step:  I'd love to hear... the one limiting belief that comes up for you and a one tiny step you're going to take to turn it from a blocker to positive action Reach me via...

What are you holding on to that's no longer serving you and your growth? How are you fighting for your limitations vs stepping into your potential?  What stories are you telling yourself that no longer have to be true? What if they were never true in the first place. Let's dig into why we hold on to stories, fears and beliefs that no longer serve us. And how – when we have the awareness of what we're holding on to – we can let those limitations go.

Last week, I went to a talk by Lewis Howes (School of Greatness) in London. It was such a great talk and I walked away with a smile and a number of powerful "a-ha" moments. One in particular has stayed with me. It was a question Lewis asked us in the context of how we want to grow:  What terrifies you? When I heard this, my response surprised me because nothing jumped to mind!  On one hand that feels incredible – and I feel a sense of pride – because I’m doing things now that would’ve terrified me a few years ago. On the other, it feels like there's an opportunity for even more growth.  As you'll hear in this memo, that question ignited a desire to think bigger and bolder and I hope it sparks the same for you.

When we're on the cusp of starting something new or making a change we want to make, it's easy to get stuck. We overthink ourselves into a feeling of overwhelm and hold back from taking action. In today's memo, we're exploring how we can get out of our heads and into action by testing our assumptions. Instagram: instagram.com/jessratcliffe Email: jess@jessratcliffe.com.

What's blocking you from creating the life you want?  What narratives or limiting beliefs are holding you back from becoming who you want to be?  In this memo, we'll identify what's been blocking you from making the changes you want to make.  I'll guide you through the second step of the Unleash Your Extraordinary framework – Deconstruct – to help you see those blockers as assumptions to be tested rather than thoughts to be believed. When we're finished, you'll have a quick and powerful technique to return to whenever you're feeling blocked. I'd love to hear if you're listening to this podcast over a quick hello in an email or Instagram DM. Instagram: instagram.com/jessratcliffe Email: jess@jessratcliffe.com.

When do we ever step back and let ourselves dream about who we want to be? How often do we intentionally define the person we want to create? And then set about making that person reality. In this memo, I help you do exactly that. By guiding you through the first step of the Unleash Your Extraordinary framework – Dream – and a technique I use in my live coaching sessions, we'll uncover who you want to be, how you want to show up and the impact you want to create.  You’ll want something to take notes with, ideally a pen and paper but your phone could work too.  If you're curious about Unleash Your Extraordinary and how we might be able to work together, head to jessratcliffe.com/coaching to learn more.

Imagine how it would feel to doubt yourself less, believe in yourself more and feel inspired to take action towards your goals. Last week, I had the pleasure of coaching an incredible group of ladies live at The AllBright in London. And that was our mission – to walk away doubting ourselves less, believing in ourselves more and ready to take action that propels us forward.  In this live recording, you'll hear me coach the group through the 4 steps of my Unleash Your Extraordinary framework. It's a great introduction to — and experience of — the framework in action. Discover more about Unleash Your Extraordinary and how we can work together at www.jessratcliffe.com/coaching.

Today, we're unpacking why we fear failure – why the thought of it is so powerful that it holds us back from even trying and flip it on it's head to explore what “failure” even means.  I share two of my biggest “failures” with you and how they’ve shaped who I am – and what I do – now. And take you through a concept called the "fear iceberg". As always, I leave you with a few questions that I hope will spark insights, ideas and actions that excite you.  I'd love to hear your thoughts when you've had a listen – I'm @jessratcliffe on Instagram or jess@jessratcliffe.com.
