Week 1 - Before You Set Goals: Create Your Stop Doing List (Bold Move Challenge)
04/1/2026
Goals are great. But if you're still writing the same New Year's resolutions you've written for the last five years, let's be honestāthey're not working. This isn't about motivation. It's not about working harder or adding more to your already overflowing plate. This is about something far more powerful: identity shift. Because the truth is, you will never achieve your goals if you don't become the person who's capable of achieving them first. Welcome to Week 1 of The Bold Move Challengeāa four-week journey where I'm taking you through the exact formula I use every single year to set myself up for success. And I'm not talking about surface-level goal-setting. I'm talking about getting crystal clear on who you need to stop being and who you need to start becoming if you want 2026 to be your biggest, boldest year yet. ____________ āØOrder The Bold Move⨠š The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com ____________ Connect with Me: šµ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ šŖ Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard ā¦ļøWebsite: https://www.georgiehubbard.com šPivotr: https://www.pivotr.com ____________ What You'll Discover in Week 1: š£ The Stop Doing List: Before you add one more thing to your life, you need to let go. I walk you through exactly how to identify what's holding you backāthe habits, the thoughts, the patterns that no longer serve the person you're becoming. š£ The Start Doing List: Once you've cleared the clutter, it's time to get intentional. What does the bold, brave, best version of you actually do every single day? How does she start her morning? How does she show up? What energy does she bring into the room? š£ The Identity Shift: This is where the magic happens. You can have all the motivation in the world, but if you don't shift your identityāif you don't change who you believe you areānothing changes. I'm showing you exactly how to step into the version of you that makes your goals inevitable. š£ Why Dopamine Loops Are Killing Your Progress: I'm getting brutally honest about my own struggles with phone addiction, social media checking, and tying my worth to metrics I can't control. If you've ever felt trapped in the refresh cycle, this will hit home. š£ How to Feel Your Way to Success: It's not just about what you do or who you becomeāit's about how you want to feel every single day. When you lead with energy and emotion, motivation follows. ____________ Why This Challenge Is Different: Most goal-setting exercises ask you to dream bigger. This challenge asks you to become different. Because the version of you that got you here won't get you there. And if you keep trying to change your life without changing yourself, you'll stay stuck in the same cycleāsame habits, same results, same frustration. This is about breaking that cycle. This is about stepping into a new identity with new beliefs, new habits, and new energy. This is about making 2026 the year everything shiftsānot because you worked harder, but because you became her. ____________ Your Week 1 Challenge: ⨠Write your Stop Doing List: What habits, thoughts, and patterns are you leaving behind? What no longer belongs in your future? ⨠Write your Start Doing List: What does the bold version of you do every single day? Get specific. Get intentional. ⨠Create your new identity: Who is she? How does she walk, talk, and show up? What does her morning look like? What energy does she bring? ⨠Write a letter to your future self: Seal it up and open it at the end of the challenge (or the end of the year). Tell her who you're becoming and how you want to feel. ____________ Join the Movement: If you're in for the challenge, I want to hear from you. Drop a comment below, send me a message on LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok and tell me: What's one thing you're going to stop doing? And what's one thing you're going to start? Use the hashtag #BoldMoveChallenge and let's make 2026 our best year yetātogether. This is just the beginning. Week 2 is coming, and we're going deeper. Let's go. Georgie š

The Bold Move Challenge: Make 2026 Your Biggest, Boldest Year Yet
28/12/2025
Before we rush into 2026, let's pause. Just for a moment. This week isn't about hustle. It's not about goal-setting or productivity hacks or forcing yourself into a new year with old energy. It's about rest. It's about gratitude. It's about giving yourself permission to slow down and breathe. In this short but intentional episode, I'm inviting you to do something radical: nothing. Well, almost nothing. Just rest, recharge, and get readyābecause next week, we're doing something I've never done before. ____________ āØOrder The Bold Move⨠š The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com ____________ Connect with Me: šµ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ šŖ Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard ā¦ļøWebsite: https://www.georgiehubbard.com šPivotr: https://www.pivotr.com ____________ What's Coming: The Bold Move Challenge Starting next week, I'm launching something brand new: The Bold Move Challenge. This isn't your typical goal-setting exercise. This is the exact formula I use to set myself up for success every single yearāand I've never shared it publicly before. We're going to get crystal clear on what you want, why you want it, and how you're going to make it happen. We're going to set intentions that actually stick. We're going to make 2026 the biggest, boldest, best year yet. And I'm taking you with me, step by step. ____________ How to Prepare: If you've already grabbed a copy of The Bold Move, this is the perfect week to read it (or at least flick through it). The challenge will be deeply connected to the themes in the book, so familiarizing yourself with the content will set you up for success. If you don't have the book yet, don't stressāyou can still participate. But having it will definitely help. It's available in bookshops across Australia, on Kindle, and as an audiobook. ____________ Why Rest Matters: Every time I've rushed into a new year without taking a proper break, I've started in the wrong energy. Frantic. Forcing. Disconnected. And that's not the vibe we're bringing into 2026. So this week, I want you to breathe. Lean into the festive season. Feel the gratitude. Reset. Refresh. Recharge. Because next week, we're going all in. ____________ Join Me: If you're in for the challenge, let me know! Send me a message on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, or drop a comment below saying "I'm in." Use the hashtag #BoldMove and let's make 2026 our best year yetātogether. Have a beautiful, restful week. You deserve it. Georgie š

The Great Female Tech Exodus: Why Women Are Leaving - and Why NOW Is the Worst Time to Go
14/12/2025
Women are leaving tech in droves. And according to gender equity expert Emma Jones, this couldn't be happening at a worse time. We're standing at the edge of the AI revolution, the biggest workplace transformation in history, and women are walking away from the very sector that will define the next decade of work. Not because they can't do the job. Not because they lack the skills. But because the system was never designed for them in the first place. In this raw and urgent conversation, I sit down with Emma Jones, founder of Project F and creator of T-EDI Standards (Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Standards for the Technology Sector). Emma has spent over 25 years in technology talent acquisition, working across the UK, US, and Australia, and she's seen firsthand how systemic bias quietly pushes women out of the industry, no matter how talented, driven, or passionate they are. ____________ āØThe Bold Move: Build Confidence & Re-Invent Your Career in the Age of AI⨠š The Bold Move: https://www.theboldmovebook.com ____________ Connect with Georgie: šµ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgiehubbard/ šŖ Instagram: http://instagram.com/georgielhubbard ā¦ļøWebsite: https://www.georgiehubbard.com šPivotr: https://www.pivotr.com ____________ Connect with Emma: šµ LinkedIn: Find Emma Jones: https://www.linkedin.com/in/msjonesinsydney/ ā¦ļøProject F: https://www.projectf.com.au/ š£ T-EDI Standards: https://www.tedistandards.com/ ____________ In todayās episode: š£ The 1967 Study That Changed Everything: How one flawed research report created the "nerdy guy" stereotype and locked women out of tech for decades. š£ It's Not a Pipeline ProblemāIt's a Drop-Off Crisis: Why women aren't failing to enter tech; they're leaving mid-career because workplaces aren't designed for them to thrive. š£ The First Female Engineer Story: Emma shares the heartbreaking moment a talented woman thought she was only hired because she was femaleāand what that revealed about systemic barriers. š£ AI is the Reset We've Been Waiting For: Why women's hesitation around AI isn't weaknessāit's wisdom. And why ethical, human-centred AI adoption is women's competitive edge. š£ Build Equity Into Your Operating Model: The one change every leader must make to stop women from leavingāand how to hold teams accountable for inclusion. š£ Parental Leave as a Systemic Lever: Why equalising parental leave isn't just good for familiesāit's one of the fastest ways to close the gender gap in tech. š£ The T EDI Standards: Australia's first national framework for gender equity in techāand how it's designed to create accountability at scale. š£ Stop Thinking Job Titles, Start Thinking Skills: How to map your transferable skills, future-proof your career, and stay relevant in an AI-driven world. š£ Why Women Must Stay in Tech: The next generation needs role models.
