How to find clarity and confidence when feeling stuck We are back! And it feels good - let me know how happy you are that we are back? Takeaways Recognising that feeling of being 'stuck' or overwhelmed The impact of stress on the body The connection between the physical and mental wellbeing The importance of stillness and self awareness to ditch the feelings of comparison  Bringing coaching and yoga together for the clarity and comfortable confidence Our full day event in York 30th September 2022!    And, I have your back for the summer holidays and have brought back some of your favourite episodes and re released them so you can get that inspiration to keep being visible in ways that suit you.   Thanks for the ongoing support while I have been away: Thank you to Sarah who messaged me totally out of the blue and said; “Hi Gemma. I hope you don't mind me messaging but just wanted to reach out and say thanks.  I have an interview Thursday for a Head of Business Development at work, I'm so ready for the promotion and although I have been prepping all weekend I just needed a different perspective and I came across your podcast re interviews. It was so very helpful, it helped me to feel confident, and remind me that I can do this and I can talk about myself which I find hard! So thank you for your inspiring podcast I think the work you do is amazing and ill certainly be mentioning you to other women at work! Xx" And Amy who said; “Honestly I have to thank you! I know you will say I did the work but I had 3 interviews last week and got 3 offers this week. Before the interviews I listened to some of your podcasts and although lots of it is things I already knew, listening to them before enabled me to become more self aware in the moment and I honestly attribute this to my successes so ultimately you inadvertently facilitated my success So Thank you xx" That particular episode which is number 56 and is nearly two years old just goes to show how important this podcast really is to you listeners and the impact it can have.  And this is one of the many reasons I have to get this show back on the road.   Today I have a super special guest on the show to talk about all things clarity.  Clarity of thought around big or small things in our lives can be the game changer we all need.  Yet life always seems so busy to even get a moment to think about the bigger questions - such as what do I want for my career ? Or do I need something different now? A new challenge perhaps? Or want time to reassess what matters most?  You might be listening thinking yes, getting some headspace  and time to find that clarity sounds very appealing but where to start with it when life doesn't always help you out with that.  What can you do for yourself?  Which is why I have the amazing Louise Brogan-Hewitt on the show from Louise yoga to delve into the things we can do for ourselves to get our thoughts in order.  Take a listen to this fabulous chat and get in touch to tell us what you think.   “What's stopping people is that they are worried about what everyone else thinks, you are comparing yourself all the time and I really want our event to move away from that, to leave women feeling that inner confidence, inner strength and grounded to make a different decision to when they walked through the door” Gemma “Empowered, grounded and connected with themselves… and when you are making decisions from overwhelm then you are thinking about everyone else and what will they think, will they like it or what will they say” Louise   ** If you want more info on the York event please do reach out to us for more information [email protected] or [email protected] ** and check out the incredible venue here > https://www.grayscourtyork.com/   Resources The previous episode Ep56 I mention about interviews > https://gemmastow.libsyn.com/how-can-i-make-the-most-out-of-interviews The previous episode Ep78 with my amazing sisters Louise and Ailsa > https://gemmastow.libsyn.com/78-how-self-care-can-increase-your-confidence Don’t forget you can get my monthly email “Visibility Matters” that shares the latest around the gender pay gap, visibility, allyship, self promotion  and good practice that is happening all over the place that support more women to step up and companies to recognise the value they bring.   Get yours by clicking >> https://www.gemmastow.com/newsletter or book a chat  https://calendly.com/gemmastow-1/call-with-gemma   Take the Test > How good is your visibility and personal branding quiz?   http://bit.ly/visibility-takethetest Get the White Paper ‘Visibility at Work: The Importance of Self Promotion for Women’s Career Progression:   https://bit.ly/WP2020podcast   Book a call with Gemma:   https://calendly.com/gemmastow-1/call-with-gemma   Get the newsletter:   https://www.gemmastow.com/newsletter   Connect with your host Gemma Stow: Website: https://www.gemmastow.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gemmastow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/gemmastow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nomorehidingco     Connect with Louise: Website:  https://louiseyoga.uk/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/louise-brogan-hewitt-baab775a/  Email: [email protected] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/louiseyoga.uk/
