This understanding led me to the GEM practice - a daily ritual that combines Gratitude, Excitement, and Manifestation. It takes traditional gratitude practices several steps further: We start by listing three things we're grateful for right now. Then we note three things we're excited about - what's already planned or coming up. Finally, we list three things we're manifesting - our deeper desires and hopes. But here's the key: we also explore the root of those desires. If we want a promotion, are we seeking recognition, financial security, respect, or perhaps just an office with better lighting?

As a coach for Turbo Thinkers©, I often see clients struggling to ask for what they need at work. Let me share Sarah's story - it might sound familiar.

Through our coaching process, we discovered what Sarah's brain needed to succeed. What does our unique brain need to succeed? How can we ask for that support? How might reviewing our history of success help us find the courage to take risks? What possibilities open up when we know, deep down, that we'll be okay?
