🎨 Step 3 - Create your new beliefs + a bonus


Ready to create
some new beliefs?

Go for it!

Welcome to Step 3 of the beliefs process.

This is where awareness turns to action.

Step 1 was about uncovering your beliefs in a given context.

Step 2 was about deepening your understanding of those beliefs.

Step 3 is about using your imagination and energy to create new, supportive beliefs.

Download the Step 3 worksheet to get started.

This worksheet will help you transform your awareness of your limiting beliefs into new beliefs that are more enabling.

You will brainstorm several options and then choose one you want to enact and embody.

And the BIG TIP here is to follow the energy.

What does that mean?

The way you will know which new belief to choose is to notice the one that makes you feel most energised. This could show up as a feeling of expansion, warmth, lightness, zinginess, or relief.

You may also notice your body taking a big, natural, relaxing breath.

That is your nervous system saying you've nailed it. Go team!

You've got this,

PS. We've also included a bonus worksheet. Sometimes we can feel patterns of resistance when introducing a new belief. These are called avoidance strategies. Just in case that happens for you, we've created a simple one-pager you can reference. Find your default avoidance strategy, acknowledge it, and then let it be. You don't need to make it go away, just be aware it's there, and then consciously choose to move beyond it. This is how meaningful change happens.

PPS. Next week, you'll receive the final step in the process which is all about reinforcing your new belief by making it part of your daily practice. Many small steps become a giant leap. Until then, grab your Step 3 worksheet attached to this email and the bonus worksheet on avoidance strategies. So many goodies!

"Leadership isn’t just about being out in front. Sometimes it’s about knowing when to sit beside someone who’s walked before you." Therapists have supervision. Athletes have coaches. Artists have mentors. So why do so many leaders try to go it alone? This week’s article explores what happens when leaders have a trusted space to reflect, not to perform or impress, but to unpack what’s real. Drawing from my own experience in therapeutic supervision, I share why this kind of relationship is so...

"Leadership is still a deeply personal act. And it’s one we can choose to reimagine, together." Leadership isn’t just evolving, it’s leaping. In this week's article, Melis shares a growing unease: we’re using old models to respond to new realities: polarisation, AI disruptions, climate urgency, collapsing trust in institutions. And these models are manifestly falling short. We still valorise charisma, confidence, control, and performance even when they cost relational maturity, truth, and...

"Emotional intelligence doesn’t just live in individuals. It lives in the space between us." After years of working with groups, I’ve come to see emotional intelligence as a kind of quiet force. When it’s present, things open. Trust builds. People give more of themselves and the work deepens. This week’s article explores what happens when a team brings that kind of emotional awareness into the room. How it creates the conditions for collaboration, clarity, and creativity. And how, when it’s...
