Who remembers the mullet hair cut?

Queen once sang “I want it all, and I want it now” but can you have it all at the same time – a successful career, great health, great lifestyle, be a present parent, loving partner and effective contributing member of your community… exhausting just thinking about it!   International Womens Day inspired Jac & Ral to discuss this concept often asked of women “can you have it all?” and they reckon (based on their personal experiences) you can have it all, but your all should be defined by you (not compared to someone else’s all) and you should expect your all to change over time… Most importantly, Jac and Ral remind you to be careful what you tie your measure of success of ‘having it all’ to… work is just one component of your life and often the component you have least control of! ------------------------------------------------------------------- New Episode Every Monday 7am Follow the show https://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/ https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPg Follow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/ https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/ Follow Ral https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielledolan/ https://www.instagram.com/gabrielledolan.1/ Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown.

When was the last time you challenged yourself? For Jac it was last week when she started eating Kale (and massaging it….) and for Ral it was learning how to post TikToks (whilst embarking on a drink free month)!   It’s easy to say “no” to trying new things but that doesn’t help you grow. In this episode Jac & Ral talk about why most humans don’t challenge themselves and what you can do starting today to get out of your comfort zone because the benefits are immense:   You learn and grow You become better at things Your comfort level increases You unlock potential you didn’t know you had!   Whether it’s trying for a new role, new industry, new health kick, new friendships even talking slower (Jac’s biggest challenge yet!) there are 5 great tips Jac & Ral share on how to challenge yourself for success. ------------------------------------------------------------------- New Episode Every Monday 7am Follow the show https://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/ https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPg Follow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/ https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/ Follow Ral https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielledolan/ https://www.instagram.com/gabrielledolan.1/ Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown.

Someone once told us their definition of networking was unskilled people getting hired for jobs over people who were actually skilled. But real, effective networking doesn’t involved greasing up to people, nor does it mean handing out or collecting zillions of business cards (does anyone even have these anymore?) it’s actually a systemic and deliberate process of building and maintaining relationships that are mutually beneficial. Ask Harvard   Many of us struggle with the concept of networking because it seems inauthentic. Promoting yourself to get something. Yet those who are well networked will tell you it’s about connection, helping others, being interested and recognising meeting new people is an opportunity to learn.   And thanks to technology, networking today doesn’t have to be a face to face meeting every week or every month… it could be a text, email or Linked In message.   In episode 5, Jac and Ral share 4 great tips on evaluating your current network, how to build your network for the goals you have, how to maintain your network and how to use clever introductions to get in front of the people that matter. They even tell you how not to network… it involves picking brains over a coffee… we aint that cheap!!   And hopefully you’re not the ‘networker’ Dave they refer to in this episode!! ------------------------------------------------------------------- New Episode Every Monday 7am Follow the show https://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/ https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPg Follow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/ https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/ Follow Ral https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielledolan/ https://www.instagram.com/gabrielledolan.1/ Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown.

It’s not just for the famous. Everyone has one… even if you didn’t deliberately create one! Ral says your brand is the stories people tell about you when you’re not in the room.   So ask yourself is your personal brand authentic? Does it cut through and adequately sum up who you are, based on your strengths within the workplace and the person you are outside of work? Your personal brand is responsible for you getting hired, fired, promoted, recommended and referred so it’s pretty important to own it! And you need to be strategic, a personal brand doesn’t just happen.   What do you want your brand to be associated with? What do you stand for? What’s real for you? What’s fake?  It’s all about self awareness.  Jac says your personal brand is how you show up in the eyes of others, it’s what they observe and experience of you, these are the facts vs your opinion of yourself.    In episode 4  find out the tips and techniques to help you identify your personal brand, create the narrative aligned to your brand, learn it, own it, familiarise yourself with it and then weave this narrative into your daily habits. It’s confidence building and it’s real. ------------------------------------------------------------------- New Episode Every Monday 7am Follow the show https://www.instagram.com/keepingitrealwithjacandral/ https://open.spotify.com/show/5yIs5ncJGvJyXhI55Js0if?si=aCNOdB68QnOGnT0vCTPcPg Follow Jac https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacphillips/ https://www.instagram.com/jac.phillips.coaching/ Follow Ral https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielledolan/ https://www.instagram.com/gabrielledolan.1/ Produced by Keehlan Ferrari-Brown.
