With me today are two powerhouse women who have joined forces to create The Masterplan - Shannah Kennedy and Colleen Callander. What I love about these women is that they are in their 50s and they have embraced the power of this to collaborate and create a powerful partnership to make it count together.

Shannah and Colleen can see that people are facing burnout right now and they aim to provide the space for them to reset, refocus and reinvigorate, to create a plan their future self will thank them for. These women wholly embrace their age in a really powerful way - they believe it’s the beginning, not the end, which I think is just such an incredible message.

In our conversation, Colleen and Shannah explain how they decided to come together after a long history of professional work and friendship. They explain how this next chapter, working together on The Masterplan is a balance of working in an area they are passionate about, and having fun. Colleen and Shannah have really done the foundational work across their lifetime, which is now allowing them to pass on their wisdom in new and powerful ways.

Transformational messages and takeaways from our conversation include:

• The secret behind making collaboration work
• Being the best person we can be starts with self. We need to build the foundations of ourselves so we can show up for our friends, our family and our employees.
• If we treat ourselves as elite athletes of life, then the results personally and professionally can be immense.
• What we need to focus on to prevent burnout.
• The importance of giving our brain a map, and how this allows us to step off the reactionary cycle.
• Where Shannah and Colleen find their role models and inspiration

We also hear about the incredible walking adventures that Colleen and Shannah are offering as part of The Masterplan, and the opportunity these present to step into planning and living our future vision.

Everything these women are doing is so powerful in terms of enabling people to support themselves. I know you’ll leave this conversation feeling inspired and ready to commence or deepen your own transformational journey.

When I was diagnosed with cancer last year, I did a lot of reflection on how I was living my life, and what I needed to stop, start, change and continue to ensure I was living completely aligned with my values and doing things that give me joy and set my heart on fire.

But you certainly don’t need a life-threatening diagnosis to do this kind of reflection and make sure that you are aligned with that powerful vision you have for your life. The end and start of a year is an opportune time to do this. As we turn our thoughts to next year, I share some juicy insights on how to make it a game-changing year for you.

If you are going to make 2023 a game-changing year, you need to lead it, you need to own it and you need to be in control and not allow what’s going on in the world to control you.

Now is the time to get really curious and dig deep so that you can launch into 2023 with confidence and clarity. Doing this is incredibly motivating and creates enormous momentum.

I equip you with eleven points to work through, professionally and personally:

1. How to keep an inspired mindset
2. Emotional and behavioural flexibility
3. How to stay anchored
4. Refine your key message
5. Determine your boundaries
6. Look after you
7. Make time for what gives you joy and makes your heart sing
8. Identify what needs to change
9. Cut out bad habits
10. What do you need to say yes to?
11. What and who do you need to say no to?

Carving out time to work through these eleven steps will provide you with a superb blueprint for a game-changing year in 2023. The more you put in, the more you put out. I have every belief in you.

Finally, I let you into a little secret! I have something new coming for you on the 4th of January 2023. I want to send you off with a huge heartfelt thanks for tuning in this year. I wish you and your family a wonderful festive season filled with love, joy and connection. Keep making it count and keep making a difference.
