I loved this conversation with the awesome motivational speaker Steve Judge.

We talk about how Steve's near fatal accident changed his life.

How he motivates himself through his day with his success habits

How he stays enthusiastic and motivated and passes that onto others.

This is such a great conversation, let me know what you think.

Welcome to the Smash Your Own Ceiling Podcast.

Welcome back to a brand-new season of the Smash Your Own Ceiling Podcast!

After a little break, I’m diving straight in with an episode that’s all about hitting the reset button.

If you’re a senior leader, ambitious professional, business owner this is the perfect time to do a self-audit and get clear on what’s working, what’s holding you back, and what needs to change so you can finish the year strong.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

• Why September is the ultimate fresh-start moment for leaders and professionals

• How to celebrate your wins (and why this matters for confidence and success)

• A simple self-audit process to get clarity on your goals and mindset

• Practical steps to reset, refocus, and achieve the results you really want

Whether you’re stuck in the weeds, battling imposter syndrome, or just want a boost of motivation, this episode will help you press pause, realign, and set yourself up for success at work and in life.

Don’t forget to connect with me on Linkedin and let me know how your September self-audit goes. And if you’re ready to elevate your leadership, join us in the Elevated Leaders Programme, starting at the end of September, or go to www.barbaranixon.co.uk for more info
