2. About YOU UNSTUCK
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. First, see if any of these describe you:
You know what changes you need to make but you're not making them
You know what you want but you have no idea how to get there
You've lost a job, a loved one or a nest egg and it's got you totally shut down
Your life is basically good, but there's one area you keep avoiding
You are living other people's ideas about who you are and ignoring your own
You're willing to change everything about your life except the one thing that really matters
Getting you unstuck is less about changing your behavior than it is about changing your beliefs. Sure, you've
got to take action. Your body isn't going to miraculously drop those 30 or 300 pounds all by itself, no matter what the
latest diet guru tells you. Your dream job isn't going to land in your lap unless you go out and find it. But if you don't
change your belief system as you're changing your behavior, your results will probably be short-lived and possibly
even counterproductive. That's why most dieters put all the weight they lose (and more) right back on after the diet is
done.
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.
Through case studies, client stories and illuminating brain research, YOU UNSTUCK guides readers to
understand the biological basis of fear and why our natural survival instincts may not serve us in the modern world.
Showing readers how to reframe what she calls Riskophobia, our hardwired tendency to avoid risks, Gill teaches
them to tune out the fear voices and circumvent their ancient defense systems. Readers can then create an
Escalating Risk Hierarchy, by "chunking down" their vision into small, actionable steps, rank ordered from least to
most anxiety-inducing item so they can start at the bottom and work their way up the risk ladder. By combining
stress-busting relaxation techniques with small action steps, the readers' odds for realizing their vision greatly
increase in this Relax, Risk, Repeat cycle. Gill also shows readers how to Avoid Limiters & Embrace Liberators,
keeping nay-sayers at bay while seeking influential supporters who can help free their creativity and productivity
through the change process.
Capitalizing on her business background, coaching expertise and a personal history of risk-taking and
resilience, Gill makes complex concepts relevant and accessible through immediately applicable tools, exercises,
self-tests and questionnaires that challenge readers to change. Dedicated to distilling sophisticated concepts into
simple action steps, Gill makes a bold promise to readers. If they faithfully follow the YOU UNSTUCK program and it
doesn't help them make significant life changes, they can contact her at www.LibbyGill.com and she will personally
coach them. That's how sure she is that, even if you think you've tried everything, YOU UNSTUCK will live up to its
name.
