Jeannette is joined by Ollie Thorn, a public speaker, coach, and motivational mentor, to discuss his extraordinary journey following a life-altering motorcycle accident.
At just 23 years old, Ollie faced the unimaginable after breaking over 40 bones and suffering a spinal cord injury. He shares the harrowing details of his recovery, the emotional challenges he encountered, and how he ultimately transformed his adversity into a powerful purpose. Ollie also discusses the importance of resilience, gratitude, and the need for society to shift its perception of disability
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The journey through a life-altering accident highlights the importance of resilience. Despite facing significant challenges, the ability to keep moving forward and finding purpose is crucial.
After experiencing a traumatic event, it's essential to rediscover one's identity. Transitioning from a physically active life to living with a disability requires a shift in perspective and the exploration of new passions, such as adaptive sports.
Acknowledging the fragility of life fosters a sense of gratitude. Embracing the small joys and opportunities in life can lead to a more fulfilling existence, even after significant setbacks.
The importance of representation and role models in the disability community is emphasised. By sharing experiences and successes, individuals can help change societal perceptions and inspire others facing similar challenges.
BEST MOMENTS
"I suppose being a young man, I always thought it was never going to happen to me like everyone does. But that loss of identity... my identity was wrapped up in my physicality."
"When someone says, 'You're never going to walk again,' it’s so difficult to try and compute the seriousness and the vastness of that."
"I realised that I'm not gonna be able to play sport with my mates again. I'm not gonna be able to do things that I've taken for granted."
"It's almost seeing the world differently, right? Through a different lens."

Jeannette looks at the critical topic of risk management in business. Drawing from her extensive experience as a corporate CEO and entrepreneur, she emphasises the importance of having the right tools to navigate risks, regardless of one's appetite for risk.
Jeannette outlines four essential tools for managing risk: creating a profit and loss account, developing a risk and opportunities schedule, crafting investment cases, and maintaining a risk register. She encourages you to embrace risk as a natural part of business and to approach it in a structured manner, ensuring you are prepared for both challenges and opportunities.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Regardless of whether you are risk-averse or a risk-taker, managing risk is essential in business and life. It's important to have the right tools to make informed judgments about risk. Creating a profit and loss account is crucial for forecasting business performance. It should incorporate potential risks and opportunities, allowing for adjustments as the year progresses. Maintaining a risk and opportunity schedule helps identify potential risks and opportunities that may not be certain enough to include in the profit and loss account. This proactive approach allows for better preparedness when these factors materialise. When considering investments, it's vital to develop a detailed investment case that includes an analysis of associated risks and opportunities. This is especially important for significant investments that require board approval.BEST MOMENTS
"Regardless of whether you have an appetite for risk, you need to have the right tools in place to make judgments when it comes to risk."
"When you walk out of the door in the morning, there's risk that you might actually be run over by a bus. Let's hope not. But there is always a risk."
"A risk and opportunity schedule allows you to have that visibility up front, equipping you to deal with them as they come up."
"If you don't risk anything, you risk everything, right? Because otherwise, you're in your comfort zone, you're not pushing forward."
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.

Jeannette is joined by Ron Rosenblum, the co-founder and CEO of Canvas Offices, who shares his unique journey from the music industry to the world of real estate and serviced office spaces. He discusses the evolution of his business, which began in 2013 with a focus on creating bespoke office environments that foster creativity and collaboration.
Ron also talks about the importance of listening to clients and personalising services to enhance their experience. The conversation also delves into the challenges faced during the pandemic, the changing landscape of work, and the significance of building a strong company culture.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The transition from the music industry to real estate highlights the importance of being open to new opportunities and adapting to changing circumstances. The ability to pivot and find new paths can lead to unexpected success. Creating a personalised and welcoming environment for clients is crucial. By listening to their needs and allowing them to contribute to the creation of their workspace, businesses can foster loyalty and satisfaction. Working with family members or close partners can be beneficial when there is a foundation of trust. This trust allows for smoother collaboration and decision-making, which is essential for business success. The pandemic has shifted the perception of office spaces from mere work environments to social and collaborative hubs. Businesses must create spaces that balance privacy and community to meet the evolving needs of employees.BEST MOMENTS
"The true love of what we do is to host people, to welcome people, and to let them feel at home really more than anything else."
"If you want people to feel at home, you need to let them be part of its creation."
"I think the biggest part that I believe that the office takes place in our society is almost like it's a social place for people."
"Life is never a straight path, is it?"

Jeannette addresses the challenges faced by small business owners, particularly those just starting out or transitioning from the corporate world. She shares eight key steps that can help entrepreneurs navigate the early stages of their business journey, emphasising the importance of having a clear plan, serving existing clients, leveraging resources, and utilising technology.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It's crucial for small business owners to create a high-level plan outlining their goals, target audience, and financial expectations. This helps in navigating the early stages of business and reduces surprises.
Prioritise serving your current clients exceptionally well, as their satisfaction can lead to referrals and positive word-of-mouth, which is vital for business growth, especially in the early days.
Learn to use leverage effectively by outsourcing tasks that can free up your time. This allows you to focus on core business activities and growth rather than getting bogged down by administrative duties.
Take advantage of affordable technology tools, like scheduling software, to streamline operations and improve efficiency. This can help you manage your time better and reduce manual tasks.
BEST MOMENTS
"If you're a small business owner, as an entrepreneur, have a plan, get it out of your head and down on paper."
"You must serve your existing clients. Even if you only have one client, you must serve them well."
"Learn the power of leverage; how can you get the maximum output when you are strapped for cash?"
"Your first employee should be, in my opinion, a virtual assistant."

Jeannette is joined by the fabulous Jennifer Grace to discuss her inspiring journey from a vibrant childhood filled with dance to becoming Miami's number one life coach, motivational speaker, and author.
Jennifer talks about her unique approach to coaching, emphasising the importance of helping others recognise their own potential while navigating challenges like imposter syndrome. She also reflects on her experiences working with celebrities and female entrepreneurs, highlighting the different dynamics they face.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Mindset is about choosing how to view situations, whether from a limited or growth perspective. Neutralising events allows individuals to detach from emotional responses and choose a more empowering viewpoint.
Imposter syndrome affects people across all demographics, regardless of success. Normalising it and helping individuals recognise their achievements can shift their perspective and reduce its impact.
It's essential to celebrate milestones and successes, no matter how small. This practice helps individuals appreciate their journey and prevents them from constantly moving the goalposts without acknowledging their accomplishments.
The launch of a hybrid publishing company addresses the challenges authors face in traditional publishing. This model offers a transparent, supportive alternative that allows authors to retain a larger share of their profits while receiving necessary guidance and resources.
BEST MOMENTS
"I think the first thing I always try to do is normalise imposter syndrome, making people feel like, okay, there's not something wrong with me because I'm feeling this way."
"The beauty is we get to choose. Are you going to have a limited mindset or a growth mindset?"
"I think part of retreat needs to celebrate and have fun. People take sometimes this work way too seriously."
"I had a complete breakdown with my own child... I used all the tools that I had in my tool bag to meditate and journal and have a new vision for him and I."

Jeannette is joined by Allan Kleynhans, an incredible coach, motivational speaker and Tony Robbins trainer, for the second in a two-part conversation - this time discussing the critical topic of employee engagement and the emerging trend of "quiet quitting."
They discuss the importance of fostering a motivated and committed workforce, emphasising that disengaged employees can be detrimental to both individual and organisational success. The conversation highlights effective strategies for addressing disengagement, including the significance of hiring the right people and creating a supportive work environment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Engaged teams and employees are crucial for achieving business success. Disengagement, often exemplified by "quiet quitting," can be detrimental to both individuals and organisations. The interview process should focus on finding candidates with the right attitude rather than just skills. Questions about personal interests, such as the last five books read, can reveal a candidate's mindset and potential fit within the company culture. Companies that foster emotional investment and psychological safety among employees tend to thrive. Encouraging open communication and sharing personal challenges can enhance team dynamics and overall morale. Individuals must prioritise their well-being to bring their best selves to work. Engaging in practices like meditation, exercise, and personal reflection can help maintain energy levels and prevent burnout.BEST MOMENTS
"When you've got an engaged team... that's when you really can get motivated and get results."
"You can't train attitude. It's impossible. You can hire attitude, but you can train skill."
"If you don't like where you are right now, you have to ask yourself what decisions you made a year ago."
"Obstacles are not in the way, they're on the way."

Jeannette is joined for the first in a two-part conversation, by Allan Kleynhans, for a thought-provoking discussion on human behaviour and personal development. With over 36 years of studying the human condition, Allan shares insights on unlocking potential, the importance of self-awareness, and the power of conscious decision-making.
They explore the significance of creating a calm and present mindset, especially in today's fast-paced world filled with distractions, and examine the challenges of communication, the necessity of understanding oneself, and the value of nurturing relationships.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Becoming aware of one's thoughts and feelings is crucial for personal growth. By actively listening to oneself and questioning the origins of thoughts, individuals can make more conscious decisions and break free from negative thought patterns.
Taking time for silence and self-reflection is essential for mental clarity and emotional well-being. Establishing a routine that includes quiet time can lead to greater calmness, focus, and a deeper understanding of one's purpose.
Effective communication is vital for building relationships and achieving goals. Listening to understand, rather than just to respond, fosters better connections and ensures that messages are conveyed clearly.
Engaging with literature enhances communication skills and broadens perspectives. Reading not only improves vocabulary and grammar but also stimulates imagination and critical thinking.
BEST MOMENTS
"The thing I'm most proud of is the fact that I've been studying for 36 years... Why do we suffer? Why do we spend so much time in pain?"
"When you become conscious about that process in your mind, you can start to trace those thought processes back."
"Communication is the response you get."
"It's really just a case of recognising that actually there's nowhere to be other than this moment right now."

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The current emphasis is on environmental sustainability, with a strong belief that everyone can contribute to positive change. The goal is to inspire a broad audience to take action, highlighting the importance of collaboration and the need for "8 billion imperfect environmentalists."
At COP29, the primary focus is on finance and the need for substantial investment in sustainability initiatives. The discussions aim to encourage governments to make impactful decisions that will shape the future of environmental efforts.
There is a growing trend of entrepreneurs and innovative companies stepping up to address environmental challenges. Examples include sustainable brands gaining traction and initiatives like the Earthshot Prize recognising impactful organisations.
We should encourage individuals and organisations to embrace bravery, boldness, and brilliance in their efforts to create a sustainable future, while also recognising the need for balance in addressing both climate and technological advancements.
BEST MOMENTS
"We inspired a good few million people around the world to go and get active, drive health, fitness, well-being through getting into adventure and extreme sports."
"We need 8 billion imperfect environmentalists in the world today. We don't need a handful of perfect ones."
"What I'm loving seeing is the entrepreneurial spirit shining through where entrepreneurs are taking advantage and really drilling into opportunities to change the dial."
"It's very clear. It's finance. It's all about finance this year... we can only hope that our governments come together and make the right decisions around that."

Jeannette is joined by TV presenter and adventurer, Alice Morrison, who shares her remarkable journey from a conventional career as a chief executive to embarking on thrilling adventures, including cycling across Africa and exploring the hidden histories of the Nabataean civilisation in her new TV series, "Arabian Adventures."
Jeannette and Alice explore the catalysts for change in Alice's life, her experiences with self-discovery, and the importance of living authentically
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Life can take unexpected turns, and it's essential to adapt and find new paths. The journey from a conventional career to adventurous pursuits can lead to personal growth and fulfilment. Engaging in physically challenging activities can help reset your mindset, allowing you to focus on the present moment rather than getting lost in worries about the future. It's crucial to understand that your identity is not defined by societal expectations or roles. Embracing your true self and making choices that align with your values is more important than seeking external validation. Negative feedback is a part of life, but it's essential to not let it deter you. Understanding that others' opinions are often reflections of their own experiences can help you maintain your confidence and focus on your goals.BEST MOMENTS
"I think really the physical side of it, in a way, is a servant to the exploration side of it."
"It's a really interesting time for you to be doing this because of... creating a diverse, equitable part of the world, which is coming from quite a dark place."
"What someone else thinks of you is none of your business."
"If you keep walking, you'll get to your destination. And it's the same in life."

ABOUT THE GUEST
Alice Morrison
I am an adventurer a TV presenter and writer. My new series for the BBC, Arabian Adventures: Secrets of the Nabateans airs is on BBC News. Here it is on iPlayer. I travel to the furthest places on earth and walk through its toughest habitats. I have been described as ‘Indiana Jones for girls’ (which I liked!) We live in a time when the world is in crisis in so many ways. I want to bear witness to what is happening to the planet as our climate and our society changes and I want to tell the stories that bring we humans together rather than the ones that drive us apart. Together, we can strive towards solutions and a happier world. What better place to start than with the places and people that are furthest away.

Jeannette tackles the often daunting topic of public speaking, exploring the common fears and blockers that many individuals face when it comes to sharing their message with the world, and emphasising the importance of mindset and preparation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Your mindset is crucial when it comes to public speaking. Believing in your ability to deliver a message can significantly impact your performance. Remember the quote: "Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right." Being organised and well-prepared is essential. This includes knowing your topic, practicing your speech, and ensuring all technical aspects (like audio and slides) are in order before you take the stage. Consistent practice helps build confidence. It's important to rehearse your speech multiple times, ideally in front of a mirror or with a trusted friend, to become comfortable with the material and delivery. Perfection is not the goal; being authentic and human can resonate more with your audience. Accept that nerves are normal and can be channeled positively to enhance your delivery.BEST MOMENTS
"When you actually do put yourself out to the world and you have a message to share, you can do so much good."
"Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right."
"If you have a message to share with the world, then there is no better way to do that than to actually put yourself out there."
"Recognise the fact you stood up there on a stage, you delivered a message, that in itself is a huge achievement."
"Feedback is the breakfast of champions. That's how we improve. It's how we grow."

Jeannette talks to the marvellous Suzy Welch, a renowned professor of management at NYU School of Business and a celebrated author, to delve into the complexities of personal and professional reinvention.
Suzy shares her unique journey from a creative upbringing in a family of artists to her successful career in business journalism and consulting, highlighting the pivotal moments that shaped her path. She also candidly discusses the challenges of resilience, particularly in the face of loss, and emphasises the importance of forgiveness as a crucial step towards recovery
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Life often involves unexpected twists and turns, and what may seem like survival in the moment can later be recognised as a process of reinvention and growth. Resilience is not about having grit when you're down; it's about forgiveness—both of yourself and others. True resilience comes from a place of strength, and it requires inner work to move past feelings of weakness and shame. Open and honest communication is crucial in both personal and professional relationships. Speaking the truth, even when it's difficult, fosters respect and can lead to stronger connections. Identifying your values, aptitudes, and interests is essential for discovering your purpose. The intersection of these elements can guide you toward a fulfilling life and help you make decisions that align with your true self.BEST MOMENTS
"I think there's no straight lines in most people's lives. I grew up in a family... business was just not part of our life at all."
"Resilience is something we have when we're strong. We're at the top of our game... but when you're on your back, all you feel is weak."
"It's an act of respect and love to tell the truth. Everyone always prefers the hard truth to a soft lie."
"I had to learn that when you're really suffering and really weak, the only way you can get resilience in yourself is to start with a step that I think is just always left out, which is forgiveness."

Jeannette talks about the essential balance of leading with both authority and empathy, emphasising the importance of creating a positive work environment where teams feel engaged and motivated to drive business results. Jeannette uses the metaphor of a helicopter to illustrate the need for leaders to navigate between strategic oversight and hands-on involvement.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Effective leadership requires a combination of authority and empathy. Leaders should be able to make strategic decisions while also being approachable and understanding of their team's needs.
Authority comes from having the necessary experience, knowledge, and clarity of purpose. Leaders should ensure their teams understand their roles and responsibilities, and set clear objectives and KPIs to measure success.
Authentic leadership involves showing vulnerability and being open about not having all the answers. Sharing personal experiences can foster a more relatable and empathetic leadership style.
Understanding and connecting with team members on an emotional level is crucial. Leaders should seek feedback to improve their emotional intelligence and ensure they are listening and responding to their team's needs.
BEST MOMENTS
"As a leader, you want to get the most out of your teams. You want them to feel happy to come to work, engage with what you're doing, drive the results of the business."
"Being vulnerable also means showing a part of yourself that shows you're human. That really encourages the empathy side of things."
"When you lead with authority, you do not shy away from decisions. You make the decisions."
"Thinking the best of someone first, not thinking the worst, is empathetic. You're giving people a chance."

Jeannette talks to Mike “C-Roc” Ciorrocco, founder of That1 Agency and host of the podcast What Are You Made Of. Mike shares his inspiring journey from a challenging childhood marked by brokenness and adversity to becoming a successful entrepreneur with a massive social media following. He also discusses the importance of networking, self-belief, and the power of intention in achieving success
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Setting a clear intention in life directs your attention towards achieving your goals. By focusing on positive outcomes, you can create a reality that aligns with your aspirations. Building a strong network is crucial for success. Engaging with others and forming genuine connections can lead to opportunities and collaborations that enhance personal and professional growth. Sharing personal stories and experiences, including struggles and setbacks, can foster deeper connections with others and inspire them to overcome their own challenges. Practicing gratitude and being present in the moment can shift your focus from what you lack to appreciating what you have, leading to a more fulfilling life.BEST MOMENTS
"If you're telling yourself that you have to be this way, which is a negative thing, and then you live it out, you probably could do it the other way too."
"When things happen in your life, you are causing and creating those things with your thoughts, words, actions, emotions, the people you keep around you."
"I think sometimes we push too much. And actually, if we just stop and let things come to us, we can attract things."
"You can be in chase mode or attraction mode. My whole life, I was chasing... I don't want to chase anymore."

Jeannette shares her insights on the journey of quitting a corporate job to become your own boss. Drawing from her extensive experience as a CEO in the global travel industry, she discusses the allure and challenges of entrepreneurship, and outlines three approaches to making the leap: having a clear plan, responding to unexpected circumstances, or starting a side hustle
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There are three main ways to transition from a corporate job to entrepreneurship: having a clear plan with a deadline, responding to unexpected circumstances like redundancy, or starting a side hustle to test the waters. Before making the leap, assess your personal finances to ensure you have enough savings to cover your essential expenses for at least six months. This will allow you to focus on building your business without the stress of immediate financial pressure. Surround yourself with supportive individuals, including mentors or coaches who have experience in entrepreneurship. Their guidance can be invaluable during challenging times. Entrepreneurship involves risks and potential failures. It's crucial to develop a thick skin and be prepared for setbacks, as they are a natural part of the journey.BEST MOMENTS
"It sounds incredibly glamorous to quit your job, become your own boss, but it isn’t for everyone."
"You are not going to be making profit normally straight away. If you are, I mean, amazing, fantastic. But be prepared for that."
"You need to make sure that you’ve got something there, you’ve got a bit of a rainy day fund in the event that it takes a while for this business to get off the ground."
"Entrepreneurs fail all the time. They take risks, and setting up your own business involves taking risks."
"If this isn’t a dream that you’ve had to leave your job and become your own boss, give it a go."

This episode incorporates the inspiring speech that Jeannette delivered as a key note at the recent Balance the Board annual conference in London, along with insights from Holly Addison Co-Founder of Balance the Board and interviews with Paul Holbrook Founder of Diary Detox, Juliett Cattermole Chief People Officer at David Lloyd Leisure and Ann-marie Murphy Group Chief People Officer at SSP Group.
It's all about focusing on diversity, equity and inclusion to accelerate change and make the world of business a better place with opportunities for all. This combined with Jeannette's framework of Brave Bold Brilliant makes for an inspiring listen.
Balance the Board was created by two of the founders of Plan B Mentoring – a not-for -profit mentoring platform launched in 2017 to help women progress to senior leadership and board level. Its aim was simple; to encourage women to believe in themselves and their ability to contribute at the most senior levels, to the success of their organisations, through advice and support from objective mentors.
Balance the Board goes beyond gender diversity, supporting and embracing all under-represented communities, encouraging greater balance on boards and championing more inclusive cultures.
Today, Balance the Board runs a number of mentoring programs, hosts regular events and webinars with the mission to equip talented individuals from all dimensions of diversity to be the best they can be, through empowerment, learning and challenge, by creating a network that will mentor and support the next generation of inclusive leaders.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The framework emphasises the importance of self-leadership (brave), leading the business with clarity and purpose (bold), and fostering strong, inclusive teams (brilliant) to drive success and create a positive impact. Achieving true inclusion requires more than good intentions; it demands action, commitment, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. Organisations should focus on creating diverse teams that reflect the communities they serve. Being authentic and bringing your full self to work is crucial for effective leadership. This authenticity helps in building diverse and inclusive teams where everyone feels valued and empowered. Continuous training and open, honest conversations about diversity and inclusion are essential for fostering a culture of belonging. Organisations should not rely solely on initiatives but engage in meaningful dialogue to address DEI challenges.BEST MOMENTS
"It's through using my Brave Bold Brilliant framework that helps these businesses scale up and be the best in the industry."
"I think a lot of organisations try and create change programs, but it should be more about hiring the right people who have love at their core."

ABOUT THE EVENT
Balance the Board was created by two of the founders of Plan B Mentoring – a not-for -profit mentoring platform launched in 2017 to help women progress to senior leadership and board level.

Balance the Board goes beyond gender diversity, supporting and embracing all under-represented communities, encouraging greater balance on boards and championing more inclusive cultures.

Jeannette shares invaluable insights for those stepping into their first board position or aspiring to do so in the near future. Drawing from personal experiences as a former CEO and executive director, she discusses the importance of adopting a dual perspective—managing both individual responsibilities and the broader organisational strategy.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
As a board member, you must balance running your specific area of the business while also contributing to the overall strategy and growth of the organization. This requires a shift in perspective to a more holistic view.
Transitioning to an executive role involves engaging with a different set of stakeholders, including board members, external investors, and regulatory bodies. Understanding these relationships is crucial for effective networking and representation.
Directors have legal obligations and must ensure proper governance practices are in place. This includes managing risks and ensuring that all stakeholders are fairly represented.
Successful executive leadership involves balancing purpose, profit, people, and planet. This holistic approach is essential for aligning business strategies with sustainability and social responsibility, particularly in the context of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives.
BEST MOMENTS
"When you become a board member, it's really important to remember that you almost start to wear two hats."
"Governance becomes a much bigger piece, that robustness, that clarity, essentially ensuring that all those stakeholders are fairly represented."
"The four P's—purpose, profit, people, and planet—working in harmony is really what makes a great business."
"These big corporate roles are stressful. Executive burnout and stress come partly with the territory."
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.

Jeannette talks to the fabulous Captain Sandy Yawn, renowned for her leadership on super yachts and her role on the reality show "Below Deck."
Sandy shares her remarkable journey from a troubled childhood marked by addiction to becoming a trusted yacht captain, emphasising the importance of personal growth and accountability. She discusses the evolution of the super yacht industry, the challenges of maintaining a high-performing crew under pressure, and the significance of mental health and self-care
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The journey from a troubled past to a successful career in yachting highlights the importance of personal transformation. Embracing change and being open to new opportunities can lead to unexpected and rewarding paths.
Building trust is crucial in leadership roles. Being entrusted with significant responsibilities, such as managing a yacht, can be a powerful motivator for personal growth and accountability.
Prioritising mental health through practices like music, gratitude, and affirmations is essential. Taking time off and setting boundaries helps maintain balance and prevents burnout.
Effective leadership involves treating team members with respect and kindness. Creating an environment where individuals feel valued and understood fosters loyalty and high performance.
BEST MOMENTS
"When I was asked a question, I told the truth. If I didn't know anything about it, I heard an old boss of mine that he said, I don't know, take 15 minutes and educate me."
"Pressure makes us better. And I use this analogy, if you're playing pool, and you play someone who's your equal, will you get better and improve your game? Probably not."
"I always say to Bravo, you cast here, my expectations here. I can't bring them here, but I can bring them here."

Jeannette looks at the importance of starting your day with intention and purpose, introducing the concept of a "Miracle Morning." Drawing inspiration from Hal Elrod's book, she shares a personalised morning routine encapsulated in the acronym SAVERS: Silence, Affirmations, Visualisation, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
How you start your morning sets the tone for the entire day, influencing your energy, mindset, and overall results. SAVERS Acronym: A structured morning routine can be built around the acronym SAVERS, which stands for Silence, Affirmations, Visualisation, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing. Each component contributes to personal growth and well-being. It's essential to find a morning routine that works for you personally, as everyone's energy levels and preferences differ. Tailor the routine to fit your lifestyle and commitments. Incorporating exercise into your morning routine is crucial for both physical and mental health, helping to boost energy levels and reduce stress.BEST MOMENTS
"So win the morning, win the day, and when you win the day... You win the week, and when you win the week, you win the month, and when you win the month, you win the year."
"Routine equals results. So, if you are consistent and you have great habits... then you're going to achieve better results overall."
"It's very difficult to be upset and negative and feel grateful at the same time. So immediately you're in that mindset of joy and happiness."
"When you say things out loud, it feels real. And when you're actually doing that, it becomes almost like a mantra."
"It would be a crime to live a life less than you're capable of. And every single one of you has got greatness in you."

Jeannette discusses the essential skills of receiving and giving feedback, emphasising its importance in personal and professional growth.

Take Action: Decide how to respond to the feedback constructively.
Review Progress: Monitor changes and improvements based on the feedback.

Continuous Refinement: Engage in ongoing personal development based on the feedback received.

"When you have a more of a maturity about receiving and giving feedback, it can honestly be super valuable in terms of how you come across."
