In this power-packed episode, we go behind the scenes of Tony Robbins’ renowned "Date with Destiny" event to explore how our internal values and rules dictate our reality.  From categorising "Toward" and "Away" values to auditing the rigid rules we set for our own success, this discussion challenges you to design a life by choice rather than by default. We also dive into the "Relationship Pyramid" and the psychological nuances between masculine and feminine energies, providing a roadmap for creating deeper intimacy and more fulfilling connections in every area of life. You’ll Learn Why: Your "Toward" and "Away" values are the invisible drivers of your behaviour, and how ranking them can reveal why you feel fulfilled or frustrated. Setting rigid rules for success can lead to constant unhappiness, and why your values should be easy to achieve every single day while your goals remain a stretch. The "Relationship Pyramid" is the secret to moving from a roommate dynamic to being fans of your partner through anticipation and fulfilment of needs. Understanding the psychological "Nothing Box" and "Connected Wire" brains can bridge the communication gap between masculine and feminine energies.

After spending an intensive six-day immersion with the master of personal development, Tony Robbins, Jeannette shares the foundational strategies for shifting your mindset and scaling your business.  She dives into the "Triad" of emotional influence—Physiology, Focus, and Language—and explores how to effectively audit your life by identifying what’s missing and what’s holding you back. From the five universal "Givens" of life to the six core human needs that drive every decision, this incredible session provides a high-level roadmap to move you from living by chance to living by design. You’ll Learn Why: Self-auditing is the vital first step toward personal growth, requiring an honest assessment of what is great in your life versus what is missing. Understanding the six human needs—certainty, uncertainty, significance, connection, growth, and contribution—is key to recognising the subconscious drivers behind your behaviours. Accepting the five "Givens" of life, such as the fact that everything ends and life isn't always fair, builds the resilience needed to handle setbacks. Mastering the "Triad" (Physiology, Focus, and Language) allows you to instantly shift your emotional state and change how you interpret life events. Redefining your "Primary Question" can move you from a state of constant self-judgment to a mindset focused on empowerment and contribution.

Jeannette talks to the amazing Piers Linney, entrepreneur, investor, and former Dragon, who’s here to share his compelling life and career journey.  Piers details his non-linear path from a working-class background and early struggles in education to becoming a successful lawyer and investment banker, stressing the initial chaos and sheer determination required You’ll learn why: Piers' journey into finance and law was seen as highly improbable by others due to his background. He learned resilience by intentionally embracing a "bloody-minded" approach to overcome repeated initial setbacks. The dot-com crash of 2000 completely eliminated his safety net, forcing him to succeed as an entrepreneur. The key to enduring the early years of business is to "love the process" and stop focusing solely on the destination. The most painful times in his career led to a realisation that "self-pity doesn't become you," forcing him to get back up. Technology is democratising opportunity, but only for those who become masters of it and not technophobes. In a world of increasing automation, future career success lies in high-value, high-variability human skills. True success means having the "choice" to only do things you want to do, making every day count.
