One of my mottos is that you are the CEO of your own life. You are in charge! When you think of a Chief Executive Officer of an organisation, what stereotypical image comes to mind? Generally, someone who has their schnizzle together (that’s a technical term), right?

Having worked with countless CEOs of organisations big and small, there are 10 things that I think they have in common that I want to share with you to give you food for thought about how you can live like the CEO version of you would.

1. Be unapologetic about taking up space and time (heroes walk slowly!).

2. Get comfortable in your own skin (ho'oponopono).

3. Show up and shine (rather than playing safe and small).

4. Get out of your comfort zone - feel the fear and do it anyway.

5. Define your vision for your life (and take action towards it)

6. Make your life easier

7. Stay in your own lane

8. Work on your resilience and a strength of character to cope with whatever life throws your way (go the distance).

9. Take radical responsibility

10. Regularly audit and assess what you’re doing and who you’re doing it with (promote and demote).

Remember you are the boss of your own life!

In this episode we get into the juicy topic of self-sabotage! You know the stuff – those behaviours, actions, or thought patterns which undermine our own success.

Self-sabotage is when we do (or don't do) things that block our success or prevents us from accomplishing our goals. We all have them; they just vary in how they show up. Some examples that might show up for you could be taking on too much and not knowing how to say no, negative self-talk or self-criticism, refusing to ask for help, making excuses, controlling or micromanaging situations, procrastinating, perfectionism tendencies, avoiding or withdrawing. These things can be conscious or subconscious - either way they can be major hurdles to stopping you from achieving your goals.

Tune in to hear Kate's top five things she recommends doing to overcome your self-sabotaging behaviours so that you can focus on being 'can-do' towards your goals and ambitions!
