Too often we do not recognise the opportunities available to us for what they are.  We hold back from speaking up, are too busy to take on that extra project, avoid what is uncomfortable, or maybe don't quite believe in ourselves.  There are so many conscious and unconscious biases out there that we really could be holding ourselves back from our own future success. 
This is the first in a series of 4 pods were we are going to dig into Smart Risk Taking.  

Hold onto your hats as things are about to get very real, very practical and very exciting as we reveal your risk profile, some seriously sticky biases & some handy tools and hacks to move you forward.  
Know thy self so you can be the best of yourself!  
We are so looking forward to sharing these pods with you!

ELEVATEE CHALLENGE: 
This week a chance to learn more about yourself with a short 10 question risk profile.

With this new found awareness on your risk profile, you will understand what your natural setting is and in following weeks we will provide further insights into likely biases and hacks to getting the most out of yourself whether you are a risk mitigator or the ultimate risk taker.

SHOW NOTES: 
A couple of quotes for our topic today:

• Gail Kelly - Back yourself, even if you are not quite ready
