Ep7. From "being a victim" to "choosing agency" - with Jo Corbishley

Ep 7. SHIFT SIX: Being a victim > Choosing Agency [with Jo Corbishley]

In this episode of Ambition. Unleashed. Sara looks into how often we catch ourselves saying “things have gone well considering the circumstances”. Blaming circumstances, the competition, the people around you or even just bad luck are all indicators that a victim mindset is lurking. Victim is a bold word. We are not talking about victims of crime, or abuse, or health conditions – these are true victims with whom we must stand and support. The leaders’ victim mindset is the acceptance of a lack of agency. It is a trap that is all too easy to fall into. But agency is a choice, and we will discuss how you can start making this choice today.

 

To look into this important shift, Sara met with Jo Corbishley, an improvement coach, TEDx speaker and author opening up about a very personal set of circumstances when she found out she was unable to have children. She is now the founder of a business that helps people of all ages to explore their value and embracing what we all offer the world despite what is thrown at you in life.
