Smart Girl Summer continues again this week, and I'm so excited to be joined again by my closest friend, author, speaker, and leadership coach, Jo Saxton. When Jo is on the show, you know it will be excellent and full of genuine honesty and fun!  Jo has dedicated her career to growing leadership teams worldwide and empowering women to find their purpose in their personal lives and in leadership. She is continuing this mission by making sure they have access to training and opportunities that women need.  In this episode, we talk about what to do when you feel called by God to do one thing while you are doing something else, finding the threads that God shows us, as well as the idea of who you want to be on the other side of the crisis.  Jo and I also discuss the kryptonite for women who are following their calling, trying to find abundance in a scarce place, and Jo's upcoming event this fall. (She even shares a discount code!)  Listen in as we also discuss:  How Jo got started, where she is now, and where she is headed The way to ensure experiments are successful (and it's not by whether they actually succeed or not!) The mindset needed during transitions so that we can become more creative and more self-aware What God expects from us as we face a challenge (and what He does for us every day)   Favorite quotes: 1. I think these threads are like cross-stitch or a tapestry, the front that others may see seem logical. The back, the actual journey, is a hot mess of threads that are entangled and weaving in and out. 2. Just because it's uncertain doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. It doesn't mean it's all falling apart. And even if it is all falling apart, it doesn't mean it's over. It means I've got to be curious about it, rather than give up and walk away.3. Transition isn't just an aberration and an evil thing. It can be hard for sure, but transition is an opportunity to be creative. This is an opportunity to become more self aware and aware of what God is saying to me. This is an opportunity to dust off some things.  4. Arriving at the end of transition isn't the point, it's how you transition that matters. 5. I think we forget what it is to learn. And we forget that learning is integral to our gifting, and our calling.   Great things we discussed: 1. Jo Saxton  2. Ezer Collective   3. Elemis 4. Black Widow  5. Sweet Ever After 6.

This week on the PRmoment podcast, we've got Jo Carr, co-founder, and chief client officer at Hope&Glory. Hope&Glory was co-founded by Jo Carr and James Gordon-MacIntosh in 2011.

[00:09:30] Why Jo's time at QBO Bell Pottinger was such an important time of her career. [00:11:43] Whether the relatively painful merger of QBO and Bell Pottinger Consumer has had an influence on Jo not wanting to sell Hope&Glory so far?[00:14:57] How Jo meeting James Gordon-MacIntosh was a career-defining bit of luck. [00:17:11] Jo tells us how it felt being the new kid at 77PR – joining an established management team of Alan Twigg and James Gordon-MacIntosh.

[00:39:39] Why agencies don't want to "be a leaky bucket". [00:40:22] How Hope&Glory has improved its margins in recent years. [00:45:00] What's the plan for the next stage of Hope&Glory? Why James and Jo can't make all the decisions anymore. [00:46:34] Are independent agencies currently more fun, more flexible, and perhaps a bit easier to lead than their group-owned peers?

www.FruciFit.comWhat happened to Jo (1 year later)So I caught up with the amazing Jo Waltham this week. Jo has been on our Fit For Life Programme for nearly a year, losing 2 stone without it 'feeling like I have had to change anything"... Here's what we discussed: ✅ One simple swap that helped Jo curb her hunger ✅ The simple 'not so secret' to overcoming fears of public speaking and trying new things ✅ The surprising piece of advice Jo received that inspired her to do what she is doing in this General Election (it is also the secret to how she lost 2 stone) ✅ How Jo now views exercise (which helps with her motivation and consistency) Plus, much, much more...

But anyway, I thought I'd share a few messages from Simone and Liz who've just finished their 4 week Kickstarts: Liz:“ I would highly recommend anyone 'umming and aahing' about joining Matt's group to definitely do it! Matt and Julie are highly motivated and really help to get you going but in a gently way with daily encouragement and in the classes. The app is great and you find all the nutritional information you need. Thank you Matt and Julie for getting me started!”Simone:“Just completed the 4 week kick start and I was so surprised and pleased to find that it really does work. It’s not just the classes, or the nutritional info he gives but he genuinely changes the way you think about these and your relationship with food. It’s been a real eye opener for me and my habits have changed and my mojo has been found! Thanks Matt “And sure, it might not be for everyone... This is a true transformation, based on habits rather than quick fixes Just like Jo said

Hello Couragemakers! For this week's episode, I had the real pleasure of chatting to Joanna Rawbone. Jo is a Flourishing Introvert with an international training & coaching business based in the UK.​Joanna has spent more than 24 years working with 000's of international clients through her own training & coaching consultancy, Scintillo Ltd. During this time, and through her own earlier experiences, she has seen just how problematic the Extraversion bias in organisations is. Recognising that it was time for action, Joanna founded Flourishing Introverts to support those who want to fulfil their potential without pretending to be something they're not. educate and inform organisations about the true cost of overlooking their introverts promote positive action and balance the extraversion bias in 2019, Joanna delivered a TEDx talk on the subject called ‘Tackling Extraversion Bias to unlock the potential of Introverts'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD7GXMeH4yI Joanna has a real passion for helping her clients make the small but sustainable changes that really make a difference. Her weeks are spent working with clients, travelling, writing and just 'being'.The things that make her happy include her work with individuals and groups,  spending time on her own; necessary in order to replenish sufficiently and music, crafts and reading; all pastimes in which she can 'lose' myself During our conversation, Jo shares her journey of learning she was an introvert and the fabulous work she now does to advocate for fellow introverts. We have so many great discussions during this episode, from our shared value of integrity, how how exhausting it is pretending to be an extravert because we think we should be and expanding your comfort zone while staying true to who you are. We talk about the concept of heart-song work and how Jo found hers, and her brilliant advice for anyone searching for work that makes their heart sing. We dive into how flourishing is a choice, Jo's experiences of being an introvert and the six different types of introverts. I learned SO much during this interview and I can't wait for her podcast which is launching at the end of February. This is such a practical episode, I got so much out of it and I am just so excited to share it with you! Enjoy today's show! About Jo  own training & coaching consultancy, Scintillo Ltd. During this time, and through her own earlier experiences, she has seen just how problematic the Extraversion bias in organisations is. It negatively impacts employee engagement, retention and productivity. It also impairs the physical and mental health & well-being of employees with the obvious consequences.  Recognising that it was time for action, Joanna founded Flourishing Introverts to support those who want to fulfil their potential without pretending to be something they're not. educate and inform organisations about the true cost of overlooking their introverts promote positive action and balance the extraversion bias in 2019, Joanna delivered a TEDx talk on the subject called ‘Tackling Extraversion Bias to unlock the potential of Introverts'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD7GXMeH4yI Joanna has a real passion for helping her clients make the small but sustainable changes that really make a difference.  Being a functioning introvert, her clients value her ability to listen to more than the words, understand things from their perspective and co-create robust, pragmatic solutions.  Things We Talked About Jo's journey of discovering she is an introvert How exhausting it is pretending to be an extravert because we think we should be Dealing with inauthenticity Tackling the introversion bias How flourishing is a choice Expanding your comfort zone while staying true to who you are The 6 different types of introverts How Jo found her 'heart-song' work and how you can find yours Resources Byron Katie - The Work (video containing the quote) Myers Briggs Ikigai - 4 circles model About Meg & The Couragemakers Podcast I'm Meg and I'm the host of Couragemakers and founder of That Hummingbird Life. I'm a coach for creative and multipassionate women, a writer and INFJ creative and multi-passionate who has a bit of a notebook and post-it note obsession, loves foot-stomping country music and likes her hot chocolate with way too much chocolate. I started Couragemakers because I wanted to create a platform for passionate and unconventional women to have honest conversations and to share their stories, struggles and dreams. The intention behind this podcast is to inspire and encourage creative and mission-driven women to live a wholehearted life and follow the beat of their drum. When I'm not recording episodes, writing bullshit-free Sunday Pep Talks to my wonderful Couragemakers community or working 1:1 with coaching clients, I'm usually covered in paint or walking my wonderfully weird cockapoo Merlin.

What happened to Jo (1 year later)So I caught up with the amazing Jo Waltham this week. Jo has been on our Fit For Life Programme for nearly a year, losing 2 stone without it 'feeling like I have had to change anything"...Here's what we discussed:✅ One simple swap that helped Jo curb her hunger✅ The simple 'not so secret' to overcoming fears of public speaking and trying new things✅ The surprising piece of advice Jo received that inspired her to do what she is doing in this General Election (it is also the secret to how she lost 2 stone)✅ How Jo now views exercise (which helps with her motivation and consistency)Plus, much, much more...Check it out here:But I get that a year can seem like a long time away and that can be demotivating ... although I guess if it fits your lifestyle and doesn’t feel like you are changing much then who cares?But anyway, I thought I'd share a few messages from Simone and Liz who've just finished their 4 week Kickstarts:Liz:“ I would highly recommend anyone 'umming and aahing' about joining Matt's group to definitely do it! Matt and Julie are highly motivated and really help to get you going but in a gently way with daily encouragement and in the classes. The app is great and you find all the nutritional information you need. Thank you Matt and Julie for getting me started!”Simone:“Just completed the 4 week kick start and I was so surprised and pleased to find that it really does work. It’s not just the classes, or the nutritional info he gives but he genuinely changes the way you think about these and your relationship with food. It’s been a real eye opener for me and my habits have changed and my mojo has been found! Thanks Matt “And sure, it might not be for everyone... This is a true transformation, based on habits rather than quick fixes Just like Jo said.. And if you want to kickstart your habits and results like Jo and co (nice ring to that)?Just send over a message to matt@frucifit.com with "Marlborough", "Devizes" or "Burbage' and I'll get you the details. And show you how you can train in December for FREE...This is available until SaturdaySpecifically, for ladies over 40 that want to kickstart their habitsBut are thinking of leaving it until JanuaryMattwww.FruciFit.com

Jo in her own words… My job title is now an Outdoor Instructor and Expedition Leader and since going self-employed I have led 30 expeditions on Kilimanjaro along with numerous other expeditions on foot, 2 wheels and horseback, most at high altitude, all around the world with both charity and private clients.   In the UK I teach and assess the expedition element of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award from Bronze through to Gold as well as leading many a challenge on bike and foot in the UK and Europe. I also help to deliver corporate team building events and expedition training weekends as well as public speaking about my experiences before I discovered the outdoors, Everest, the earthquake and beyond to corporates, schools and groups. To be honest I never thought I would summit Snowdon even once so becoming the 3rd British woman to reach the true summit of Manaslu, the world’s 8th highest mountain standing at 8163m in September 2013 and then being the 36th British woman to reach the summit of Everest in May 2016 have been huge and unexpected achievements. I have gone from having severe vertigo and a great ability to say no way too often to facing my fears, saying yes more and turning my life around. I am now on route to complete the 7 summits and continue to raise funds and awareness for children’s mental health charity Place2Be. *Please note during this episode we do talk about grief and mental health. Please ensure you are in a good place before you listen to this episode.    Show notes Catching up with Jo How has it been 3 years!

Ever wondered how some people just nail it on social media or their facebook ad just speaks to you? Want to know how to write super engaging copy for your website or social media? In my latest podcast I interview copywriter Jo Watson who describes herself as an editor and 'writer of stuff'. She explains how to show your personality in your writing and why you need to make people really feel something when you write. Even if they disagree with you.  Jo is well-known on LinkedIn for her slightly sweary 'tell it like it is' approach and her personality is well reflected in her writing. She has a truly distinctive writing voice and explains how to create personality in your writing and how if you produce great content then people won't forget about you (even if you go on holiday for a week!) Jo also explains how you can show your authority and views even if you don't feel confident enough to actually post on social media. Jo doesn't have a social media strategy - and believes very much in showing up and being present, being yourself and explaining it as you would to a friend at the pub. Jo also talks about how to go about hiring a copywriter that really is a copywriter (and not just your VA that can do it) and why it's really important to look at the return on investment that it will bring to your business. I'd love to know what you think. I hope you enjoy the episode. {Click on the player above to listen to the podcast episode and/or read on for a detailed overview.

On International Nurses Day, please listen to Jo Stewart, the Clinical Nurse Unit Manager at the ICU in which I work - Frankston Hospital. On May 12th, the date that commemorates the birthdate of Florence Nightingale, we celebrate every single one of the many nurses who support and care for us when we are sick. Pretty much everyone on earth comes in contact with a nurse and, for us in intensive care, nurses are so important to all that we do. Let me simply say thank you to the nurses of the world. You are the lifeblood of healthcare, and especially in hospitals. I have learnt from watching hundreds of you; about how to better care for a patient, about how to better communicate, and how to better support a critically unwell person and their loved ones. If you read the cards that are sent to the ICUs when the patients and their families want to say thank you, you’ll see who they value the most. Our nurses are simply amazing. On this episode I speak with Jo Stewart. Her role as Clinical Nurse Unit Manager allows her to offer training and support to the nurses of Frankston ICU as well as to work on quality and operational requirements of the unit. Jo is passionate about education and supporting novice nurses and brings experience from a variety of specialty ICU nursing areas such as Cardiothoracics (including ECMO), Neurosurgery, and Critical Care Liaison Nursing. Jo completed her Masters in Intensive Care Nursing at The Alfred Hospital in 2007, worked in Vancouver, and then commenced working at Frankston Hospital as a Clinical Support and Development Nurse in ICU in 2011 whilst concurrently lecturing at Monash University for both Undergraduate and Post Graduate Nursing courses. In the episode Jo speaks about: How she got into ICU nursing and what she enjoys about it Attracting and retaining ICU nurses The various roles she has worked in throughout her career Educating nurses How Jo educates herself Leading as a nurse unit manager Creating the right culture as a leader How she allocates her own time to different tasks Interactions between doctors and nurses in the ICU Principles of good communication Her self-care practices Encouraging wellness for the nursing workforce Working better as a team Some tips for the ICU doctors Jo is extraordinarily passionate and enthusiastic about her role. She is very welcoming, always happy for a chat, and I thought she would make an excellent guest for the show. Please enjoy listening to Jo Stewart.   Andrew Davies   -------------------- About the Mastering Intensive Care podcast: The podcast is aimed to inspire and empower you to bring your best self to the intensive care unit, through conversations with thought-provoking guests.

In this episode we talk about:How and Why Jo co-created the Conscious Cleanse (hint: it involves a radical turn of events due to a major car accident).In the inspiring story of how Jo was able to challenge the medical paradigm to overcome a diagnosis of long-term disability and the role that yoga and nutritional therapy played in her recover.“You can Heal”Why diets didn’t work for Jo and what she learned from trying one after the next and why weight loss was not the primary answer to her recovery (hint: inflammation played a primary role).Love your body. Food is not the enemy, food can be medicine.Why it’s more important to focus on what you can do rather than what you can’t do when working to improve your health.How Jo reduced her pain from 9/10 to 5/10 in two weeks by shifting how she eats.The importance of Wisdom and the power of the mind in the healing process.“Everytime I found someone that said, “I believe you can heal,” I said, “You’re on my team.”How the Conscious Cleanse was designed with a universal message to apply to different people with different body types, lifestyles, and dietary preferences.“Vegetable are the center of your universe” - “Dark Leafy Greens are an inflammation powerhouse, the more dark leafy greens you get the better you’ll feel.”Fresh local foods taste better.The Conscious cleanse isn’t really a cleanse, it’s about getting back to basics and eating a healthy whole foods diet.It’s important to feel empowered to choose what you eat - that’s how this is different from a diet, you can choose what and how you eat.It’s important to be in community and have support when we’re shifting our lifestyle or diet and working to create new habits and positive behaviors - this is built into the Conscious Cleanse in a really great way.We discuss the Chinese medical concept of digestion and how that informs when and when not to eat raw or cooked foods. Resources Mentioned:Anna Forrest YogaMichael Pollan - Omnivore’s DillemaInspirational Video - “Never Give up” : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX9FSZJu448 Getting in touch:www.conciouscleanse.com - connect@consciouscleanse.com -noah@heartseedhealth.com - www.heartseedhealth.com

Jo Chun Yan, currently resides in Japan, is of Korean decent but still calls Melbourne. She's into yoga, reiki, Joni Mitchell and mindfulness (which was definitely a bonus for me), but what struck me with Jo is the way in which she approaches graphic design with her clients.

In this episode we discuss: *How Jo weaves design and intuition into the perfect offering. *How to follow your intuition. *Why everybody is innately creative. *How to express yourself through your business and branding. *Why sometimes following a morning routine keeps you stuck. *And much more.
