Everyone gets stuck. It's part of the human condition. Maybe you're stuck in your career, finances, health or relationships. Or maybe life dealt you a bad blow like a layoff or divorce. The real question is this: What are you going to do about it?YOU UNSTUCK is designed to give you hope and tools, backed with science, to get you past your sticking points. Hope because that's the one thing you can't afford to lose if you're going to succeed in work and life. Science because you need the latest brain research to understand why you behave the way you do. And tools because the process of life change is so misunderstood, you may have been going at it all wrong. Otherwise, you wouldn't be stuck right now, would you? It's like trying to replace a flat tire without a jack. The more you try, the more hopeless you feel and more hopeless you feel, the more stuck you are. Author Libby Gill wants to help you change all that.Dedicated to helping people overcome limiting assumptions and undermining behaviors so they can make real and lasting change, Gill created the "Clarify, Simplify & Execute" program that she's used with great success as an executive coach. Readers will learn this proven process to clarify a vision for the life they want, simplify the most direct route to get there, then aggressively execute their action plan. In You Unstuck, Libby Gill uses cases studies, client stories from her coaching work, and brain research to help readers understand the biological basis of fears that hold them back.
