In order to qualify as an approved driving instructor (ADI) we all need to pass a driving test at a higher standard than a learner test. But how many of us take a further advanced driving test to ensure our driving is still at the highest standard possible? I talk with two members of the Exeter and East Devon Advanced Drivers and Riders RoSPA group about the demands of the RoSPA advanced driving test. Ian Pruce is the group's membership secretary and Jo Gifford is a committee member who is keen to see more women involved in the group. As well as discussing the merits and demands of advanced driving we also talk about the acvtivities of the group.Anyone interested in finding out more can contact Ian at secretary@exeteradvanceddrivers.com Hosted on Acast.

On today's podcast episode, I'm chatting with one of my team members, who has been critical in helping me create the Bold Profit Academy, Jo Gifford. She lives across the pond in England, but we have known each other since 2015. We will share some of our favorite wins from the incredible women who have participated in the Bold Profit Academy and give you a sneak peek behind the scenes. Let's start with a bit of background on Jo. She started her career in graphic design. Eventually, she managed a group of designers and transitioned to freelance consulting. Jo creates content that creates a connection and an experience. We've been working together on curriculum development and the customer experience, and she brings incredible tools to the table. Jo has experience with courses and signed up for one back in 2014 that catapulted her to success, but it also led to a mental health breakdown because there were no foundations built to support her business and its rapid growth. We understand the “hustle the money in” mentality, and that's not how we work. Dive in with us, get more information on how this program works, and read examples of the wins we love to celebrate!

As we move onto the twelfth of our thirteen keys for self connection and sacred balance, Ceryn invites you to journey with the ideas of outcome and possibility.We live in a world that so often wants us to focus on outcomes; definitive outcomes that can be objectively glasses as "good" or "successful". And there are definitely times when such a clear focus is useful or even necessary. But how often does that mindset rob us of possibility, and of all that can unfold if we allow ourselves to step into the unknown. What is the key to moving into that place of possibility? Ceryn calls it beauty, but not the type of beauty we're used to hearing or reading about.After all, this isn't about checking off boxes on a societally defined list of what makes us acceptable. Instead is it about aligning ourselves with a true sense of beauty; one that involves awe, wonder, and is in the closest place imaginable if only we allow ourselves to open to it. Episode NotesWithin this episode, Ceryn mentions three ways you can work with her this Winter and in early 2023, which are:2023 Soul Readings, available for a limited time only via this link. The Sekhem Level 1 and 2 initiations Ceryn will be running alongside Rachael Morley this January, including an in-person weekend in the magical lands of Glastonbury. The Re-Kindling Her Stories sessions she will be running online throughout January and February. Meanwhile, Ceryn references the incredible Wild Currents by Jo Gifford, which she read recently. And finally, we mention (again!) the fantastic Vincent van Gogh episode of Dr Who, with a key scene available on YouTube.To keep up with the latest from Ceryn and all things Divine Feminist, follow @divine.feminist on Instagram.Music is Start Again by Alex Beroza, copyright Alex(2014), sourced through YouTube and available to hear in full here. Finally, if you enjoy The Divine Feminist and would like to buy Ceryn a Ko-fi, you can do that here.

Want to make a change in your work-world? This is how I do it. The key takeaways: Figure out exactly what change you want to make, and then find a way to hold yourself accountable.

Just look for a way to keep yourself on track. A great option is to participate in a free challenge created by somebody who inspires you. Here are a few to ponder: If you want to supercharge your personal brand, I recommend Own Your Brilliance with Jo Gifford.

(Sign up any time) If you want to hit all of your business goals in the year to come, I recommend The Success Shake-Up with Gemma Went. Over the 5 days you’ll be looking at everything you’ve accomplished (or not) over the past year, and weaving those lessons into a rock-solid strategy for 2019.

In today's episode I speak with Jo Gifford and we're talking about how doing less in our lives and in our businesses can help us achieve our most audacious goals. Too often entrepreneurs try to say yes to all the things, but in saying yes to everything, we're actually limiting our results.

In this episode I speak with Jo Gifford and we discuss how you can shift your energy around money in multiple ways. I know that this topic isn't for everyone, but just by listening you will be absorbing and hearing what you need to hear right now. So make sure to tune in. BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS: Tara shares her first reiki experience, how doubtful she was in the beginning, why she sought it out, and how it ultimately won her over Season 2 of the BLR podcast has been about money from a practical sense. Here are some links to our previous episodes that might interest you: Episode 3: Leadership Activities to Grow your Business and Episode 5: How to know if you are undercharging, but today we're coming at it from a more woo sense. Money is energy. Learn how to recognize the signs about when it's time to shift your energy (around money). You might be feeling scarcity around time, money or something else. Scarcity is scarcity and you need to tune into it. Learn how to recognize and acknowledge the abundance in your life. And it's not just the money in your bank account. Figure how what you need to thrive in your life right now. Exercise on how to do this here. Practice stepping away from your business or job in order to recharge your batteries and yes have fun. Quick recap: Create awareness around what you're feeling at any given moment, and allow yourself to feel that feeling no matter what it is. The next thing is to accept where you currently are. This can happen in different ways. It might be through journaling, meditating, or it can happen through limiting what you expose yourself to whether it be social media or emails. Finally we talked about the fact that we are all energetic beings and it's important to realize that. Acknowledge the good things that are happening in your life on a daily basis and you will shift your energy around money by doing this.

Unleash the creativity you never even knew you had. The key takeaways: Creative thinking is huge for our lives and our businesses in so many ways. When we apply creative thinking techniques, we allow our brains to see things from a different perspective, to see things in a whole new way. And why is that useful? Well, if you are operating in a crowded marketplace you might want to be able to think about some products or services that are different. You might want to think about how to use language and visuals, and your brand to position you in a different way and help you stand out. Also, if you apply creative thinking to everything in your life, you’re going to have a much more fun experience. You’re going to see things in a new way. Start with something simple like making a habit out of doing something new every day and then layer on outputting something every day. Whether you’re creating a really short video, or you’re journaling, or you’re creating an image. If you start to output, you’re synthesizing information for yourself and for your audience. You’re kind of allowing yourself to absorb what’s going on out there in your industry, what’s going on in the world, what’s going on in culture, and you become a synthesizer for your audience and for your clients. It also helps you understand things a lot better as well. So tiny tweaks. Something new every day, then output something every day. Then you can apply some creative thinking and triggers. Try using Netflix as a creative thinking trigger. Think about one of your favourite box sets or series or films or programmes, and then jot down everything that’s to do with that show – the characters, the themes, the music, the location, the storylines… Why the heck is that useful for your business? So, if you use those triggers, and you start spidering down even more, you can apply those concepts and those thoughts to whatever it is you’re creating. You have to kind of go with the freeform thinking at first, and let it sound as nuts as it’s going to sound, and then start to play. This is all about having your own personal playbook. If you start playing you end up having a lot of fun, for one, which is always a good thing because that really connects your clients to you. But also, if you’re creating stuff and finding points of difference you are going to stand out from people who are all doing the same things. And it will help you uncover some new language and some new words, because the more you delve into different parts of your brain, into unexpected themes, unexpected mixtures of stuff, the more you come out with different outcomes. You’ll find your blog posts are flowing. You’ll find your content ideas are thriving. You’ll find you’re inspired a lot more often. Once you’ve generated loads of ideas, you need to make a plan. You need to get this thing done.
