    Coachathon is an event organised by the Microloan Foundation to raise funds for women living in extreme poverty in Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The Coachathon allows coaches to offer their services at a reduced rate, providing an opportunity for people to access coaching at a fraction of the normal cost. The funds raised through the Coachathon support the Microloan Foundation's efforts to provide small loans and training to women to start and grow their businesses.

  • In this episode, I discuss the four pillars of thought leadership: unique contribution, prolific creativity, courageous visibility, and recognised authority. I emphasise that thought leadership is not reserved for a select few and encourages listeners to claim their space as thought leaders.

    I provide practical tips for each pillar, such as reflecting on one's unique strengths and perspectives, consistently creating content aligned with one's unique contribution, and actively seeking speaking and publishing opportunities. I also highlight the importance of building a strong personal brand and engaging with one's community.

    Courageous visibility

    Prolific creativity

    Unique contribution

    Recognized expertise

    Takeaways

    Thought leadership is not limited to a select few and anyone can claim their space as a thought leader.

    The four pillars of thought leadership are unique contribution, prolific creativity, courageous visibility, and recognized authority.

    Identifying and leveraging one's unique strengths and perspectives is key to establishing a unique contribution.

    Consistently creating content aligned with one's unique contribution helps to position oneself as a thought leader.

    Courageous visibility involves putting oneself out there, sharing insights, and making a meaningful impact through one's presence.

    Building recognized authority requires consistently demonstrating and providing value, publishing valuable content, and engaging with one's community.

    Developing a strong personal brand and continuously learning in one's area of expertise are essential for establishing recognized authority.

    Engaging with other experts, potential clients, and collaborators is crucial for building authority and reaping the benefits of thought leadership.

  • Meet Alicia Rodriguez, my client, collaborator and friend. Alicia is one of those women who, if you're lucky enough, you'll have in your inner circle. She's wise, intuitive, kind, funny and utterly inspirational - and now I get to share her story with you.

    Her memoire, The Shaman's Wife is available to pre-order now, and will be widely published in September.

    In this exclusive interview series for Heads Together, Alicia shares some background that led to the writing of this incredible book, and also offers even more insight into the lessons we can take for ourselves from her experiences.

    As Alicia said to me: "I know so many women who have given away their power, often not realizing that they were surrendering their agency to someone else in the name of love. These women are successful and confident, yet something happens, and suddenly, a piece of their life is missing, and they don't know how to recover it. There's fear, shame, and embarrassment at being discovered."

    Alicia's been there. And she reclaimed her life using the wisdom she gained from shamanism, the very tradition that sought to capture her.

    This is a story of courage, resilience, and transformation that can be applied to your life. It's a story of forgiveness and the power of Universal Love.

    It's a story she had to share.

    "This is the story of the road I had to travel to discover who I really was. If it saves one person or impacts someone who needs to reclaim their life, then all the hard work and sacrifice will be worth it. Writing this book has changed my life. Perhaps reading it will change yours."

  • Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast, I’m thrilled to have you join me again. This past week I've been enjoying the beautiful weather and spending a lot of time outside. I found an amazing little writing spot at a bird hide on Abberton Reservoir in Essex. It's so peaceful and perfect for sparking creativity.

    This week I talk about the power of solo work. Running a business as a female founder is no small feat, and it’s easy to get lost in the noise of external opinions and validation.

    I also talk about how important it is to schedule solo work time by keeping certain days free from client appointments. Create a special space, like my bird hide, for uninterrupted focus. Journaling can help process thoughts and ideas. If mindfulness practices like meditation don’t work for you, simply enjoy input free time.

    Consider taking a solo retreat. “Rewild Your Business" is a perfect example, offering a guided, digital retreat to help you reconnect with what matters in your business. Check out rewildyourbusiness.com, register your interest, and I will keep you posted and let you know when you can sign up for the retreat. 

    Enjoy some quiet time this week. Remember, the most important voice to listen to is your own. 

  • Welcome to the Head's Together Podcast. In this week's episode, I sit down with Julia Darlington, a confident leadership coach with a fascinating journey from the fashion industry to coaching and consulting. Inspired by her mother, a dressmaker, Julia initially pursued a science education but eventually followed her passion for fashion.

    We discuss the importance of self leadership and taking 100% responsibility for one's life. Julia explains how unlocking the unconscious mind can open up a world of possibilities and how crucial it is for leaders to develop their own identity.

  • In this week's Heads Together podcast episode I ask the important question of how close is the business you have now to the vision you had for your business at the beginning?

     

    Opportunities and distractions in equal measure (one sometimes disguised as the other ) can mean your business meanders along until it bears little resemblance to what you'd originally dreamed it would be.

     

    How often do you step back from the day to day of market, serve, repeat to look at what's working for you now and what's not. What feels aligned and what doesn't. How often do you dare to consider a change of direction, a big pivot. Do you regularly consider what no longer serves you and perhaps needs letting go of?

     

    Time to work on our business is SO important, and Summer is the perfect season to do just that. Like I said last week, the sleepier summer months are perfect for intentionally lowering your energy, turning down the dial to a mild simmer, so you can reflect, consolidate, plan.

     

    This is why I'll be offering you something very special later this month. I've created the perfect virtual solo retreat for you. An opportunity to have 5 days out from your business (or at least from client work) to work ON your business. Within the self guided container, you'll spend each day reflecting, journaling, reviewing a different part of your business. This is just a teaser as I'm still working on some of the beautiful content that will be there for you inside your virtual retreat.

  • Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast! This week, I'm talking about a topic that's been on my mind: Aligning your energy with the seasons.

    I explore how different seasons affect our energy levels: spring and autumn are high-energy, "doing" seasons, while summer and winter encourage us to slow down and reflect.

    I explain the importance of giving ourselves permission to adjust our pace with the seasons, and how this can benefit our overall well being and business sustainability.

    Are you curious about aligning your energy with the seasons? Apply for a free breakthrough session at Gillmoakes.com/apply. 

    Thanks for listening! Join me next week for another insightful episode of the Heads Together podcast.

  • Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast. This week, I'm talking about what it really means to "play big" and be unapologetic.

    Spoiler alert: It's not about how big your dreams are, but how fulfilled you feel while chasing them. Whether you're aiming to run a mega-corporation or raise alpacas in the countryside, it's all about owning what you truly want. Get ready for an inspiring episode that challenges the go big or go home mentality and champions authentic, unapologetic living.

    Playing big isn't about the size of your dreams but the fulfillment they bring you. It's about pursuing what truly makes you happy, whether that's a bustling business or a serene lifestyle. Claim what you want unapologetically, even if it doesn't fit the mainstream narrative of success. Your dreams are valid, no matter their shape or size. Stop comparing your journey to others. Focus on your vision and what success means to you. Remember, everyone's path looks different.

    I loved hearing from those who connected with me on LinkedIn after the last episode. It was joyful receiving your messages and knowing you're out there listening. It’s moments like these that make everything worthwhile.

    Have a fantastic week, and see you next time!
