WHERE ARE YOU HEADED?

WHERE ARE YOU HEADED?

Do you know where you are heading? What direction? Do you have specific goals you are moving towards? Or are you stuck on the platform watching everyone else go past on their journey, off to new exciting places, because you can’t decide which way you want to go?

Are there are so many choices that you get overwhelmed and end up going nowhere? Perhaps you are too afraid to climb on board in case the train isn’t headed to where you expect?

Maybe you are actually on the train, but it’s the City Circle route, so you just go around and around and around, stopping at the same stations over and over again, and you still don’t end up anywhere new. Perhaps you stay on that same train, even though you are bored and uninspired and people you don’t like come and sit next to you, because at least there you feel safe in the familiarity of your same spot every day. Getting off is risky, you might choose the wrong station, or get lost…

Ok, in case you haven’t worked it out yet, I am not really talking about trains…

Our brains are wired to keep us safe from risk, from fear, from failure. As such, it is very easy for us to fall into a pattern of life that is familiar, comfortable and predictable. Unfortunately to stay in that safe place it also means we stop moving forwards. In order to achieve our potential, our goals and our dreams we must continue to grow. Growth requires learning, change and often uncertainty, all of which our brains are conscientiously working to avoid.

Self Doubt, procrastination and self sabotage are all mechanisms which are designed to prevent us moving forwards, to keep us in the same place. Whether they happen consciously or unconsciously they can easily become patterns we act out over and over again. The trick is to outsmart our minds and just take action!

Even the most confident and successful people feel fear and self doubt. The difference is they continue on regardless because they have goals…they are moving towards something. They understand that to find out what they can really achieve they have to make a choice to go and find out…to act…to do something!

Is there an area in your life that you know should give attention to but you keep avoiding it? Do you have something you have always wanted to do but talk yourself out of it? Do you catch yourself looking at other people’s lives and wishing yours was better? Maybe now is the time to find your direction?

Have you had enough of being stuck in one place? Are you ready to make a change?

Go ahead, jump onboard the next train!

Get off that safe seat and choose a station!

Who knows what exciting places you could end up in! There are so many people for you to meet, adventures to have, goals to achieve, and so much more of your own potential to discover!

What Our Clients Say

I have been with the same company for nearly 10 years. Although in a leadership role and successful, I felt burned out, stressed and unhappy at work. This was impacting my work /life balance as well as my interaction with others. I needed to re-evaluate my career priorities and level up my communication skills. Cheryl took the time to listen and understand my situation. We worked together to better understand my strengths and values and how important it is for them to be congruent with my career development. With Cheryl’s guidance I focused on the steps I needed to make to remain myself, whilst becoming a better leader at work. Cheryl’s style, attitude and easy to follow steps are pragmatic and realistic. She provided me with tools I could use every day to remain focused on changes I needed to make to achieve what I wanted.This is an ongoing journey but I am now more confident, have a deeper understanding of both myself and others, have the tools to perform better at work and am maintaining a more fulfilling work-life balance.

Catherine.R – National Manager

I met Cheryl as I started a personal journey in seeking greater clarity for my career. It has turned into much more and I am most grateful to her for helping me understand myself much better as well as how to interact with those around me. Both professional and private. Cheryl has been a source of strength and insight. Her warm and friendly nature makes it easy to relate to her. She challenges the status quo and help me improve many aspects of my life. A number of my colleagues have spent time with Cheryl and all feedback has been positive. I would highly recommend her.

Ross Cartwright, Managing Director – Head of Retail Aus/NZ, MFS INVESTMENTS

We were lucky enough to have Cheryl come to our Annual Team Conference where she presented a Creative Thinking Workshop for our Team. I would high recommend Cheryl and the workshop for anyone who is looking to open their minds and expand the vision of the business. The workshop was highly interactive with the concepts and ideas being able to be implemented relatively quickly and simply into our business.

Harry, Director of Projects, PLAN ASSIST PTY LTD

I have seen and worked with Cheryl on a number of events and projects she is a part of. So when it came to organising an EA/PA Networking event, I knew she was the right person to be our guest speaker. Cheryl is an engaging, humorous and energetic presenter, who can relate easily to a room of 10 to 100+ people. She brings a world of knowledge and experience to her presentations and her real-life business examples reinforce the messages she presents. Cheryl is definitely someone I would recommend to present at any corporate workshop.

A Edmonds, Events Manager, LUNAR PARK SYDNEY

I attended Be Ultimate’s workshop on Stress Management. It was amazing! It was exactly what I needed to understand how to manage my busy days. Cheryl taught us practical, easy to implement strategies that worked for me from day 1 and I haven't looked back since. I highly recommend Cheryl as a coach, and recommend her 2 hour workshops for anyone.

C Walt, CEO, NSD DESIGN & PRINT

I have attended two LinkedIn workshops run by Be Ultimate and I have found them to be extremely informative, professional and succinct, whilst also being very personable and fun. I have already implemented new content and knowledge learned at the workshops ... starting at the actual workshops itself!

Thanks for your fun and informative workshop sessions.

David, Accountant, McSWEENEY CA CONSULTING ACCOUNTANTS

Cheryl provides an incredible bouncing board to lead you through your journey of reinvention or simply to gain reinforcement that the path you’re on is the right one. Cheryl is an awesome person who truly cares for other people, wants to see them achieve their goals, isn’t backward in coming forwards when you need the prod in the right direction and will encourage you to see the great results you are accomplishing when they may not be as obvious to you.

I highly recommend Cheryl to anyone who is looking for business advice, a change in career or simply wants to gain some solutions to taking a positive approach to life.

Cheryl has been a delight to work with over the past 7 years. She has assisted our business, Independent Garden Centres, with professional development workshops, she has been of great support to me as a coach. Cheryl has emceed the last two annual IGC Retail Conferences with an engaging and fun style, and she has been one of our conference keynote speakers who held the undivided attention of the delegates with ease. I thoroughly recommend Cheryl Alderman in any of these capacities.  Cheryl is a consummate professional who quickly builds rapport, she clearly enjoys sharing her knowledge with others, and there is always an element of fun which oft missing in many professionals.

Evan Mueller, CEO, IGC

In this workshop we were introduced to a range of simple strategies that the group could adopt to manage the inevitable stress and tension experienced in corporate and every life. The cynical group loved the practical and interactive approach of this workshop and were highly engaged throughout the 2 hours. The presenters brought in lots of great exercises. I am happy to recommend this Managing Stress workshop and both presenters to other corporate groups.

L Jones, People & Culture Business Partner, FOXTEL

Working with Cheryl has had benefits that have reached far beyond me as an individual. She has helped me to become a better leader and elevate the effectiveness and potential of my entire team. Cheryl's coaching has raised my self awareness, shifted my focus to control what I can control, and given me tools to realise opportunities that I wouldn't have thought possible before our first session.
