On average, only 2% of people use their full potential. But YOU are not average.
Executives staying stuck in a career that doesn’t feel theirs, uninspired employees anxiously waiting for 5 pm, businesses struggling to retain top talent… All telling themselves that “this is just the way it is in the corporate world.”
Well, newsflash: it doesn’t have to be!
But I can see why you might have been feeling (or, better, being made to feel) that way.
Right since childhood, society has drilled into us the idea that we must work hard, make a lot of money, and be successful.
What it’s conveniently left out, however, is that working hard while going in the wrong direction is counterproductive. Making lots of money doing something that doesn’t motivate us? Not that glamorous. As for being successful, we first need to find our own definition, and that doesn’t necessarily look like what society told us.
No wonder this mindset leads to burnout and constantly feeling stuck or disoriented!
Instead, whether it’s happening to you or the team you manage, you can choose to replace all that overwhelm with smart, purposeful work.
You can create an inspiring career that energises you or a workplace that helps its employees develop their full potential.
No clue how to do this in practice? Relax: that’s exactly what my personal and professional development programmes are for.
Why UnlockYourBlock
I’m Tia Castagno, self-proclaimed Queen of My Hustle, and I believe everyone deserves to reach their full potential. So, I’m on a mission to change that initial 2%!
On a slightly more selfish note, I’ve created the type of personal and professional development training I wish I had found years ago. I’m often described as Tia = energy, but that wasn’t always the case.
You see, the reason why I know that a directionless workaholic mindset leads to burnout is… I was there myself! Years ago, I wasted countless 16-hour days working towards a career that didn’t really feel mine.
So, I created UnlockYourBlock to prevent that from happening to others. As an ICF-certified executive coach, HeartMath® trainer and Positive Intelligence® mental fitness coach, I do so by:
- Helping professional women find their place in the corporate world, leave it to start their own business, or a mix of both by developing a portfolio career
- Making it easier for people-first companies to create inspiring, equal, and productive workplaces that, in return, will help them grow
The philosophy behind my personal and professional development training
2/3 of all job absenteeism is caused by stress, and the pandemic has only worsened burnout
We’ll work together to address the root causes behind each block. You’ll also learn practical self-regulation techniques to increase mental clarity and emotional resilience in the face of challenges.
70% of all mistakes are caused by miscommunication. This leads to arguments, fallouts, financial losses, and even deaths
You’ll learn simple but game-changing tactics to communicate more effectively as well as be in charge of your emotional reactions, from personal conversations to all work scenarios.
Nowadays, ‘creativity’ is considered the third most important skill… and yet only 1 in 3 in today’s workforce see themselves as creative!
I’ll teach you how to gain open, immediate access to your power to innovate & problem-solve. You’ll then be able to use it to guide all your creative projects going forward.
If you truly want to succeed as a leader, you can’t have ‘competence’ without ‘confidence’ or ‘collaboration’!
I enable both newly formed and established leadership teams to find their optimal stride. That way, they’ll become much greater than the sum of their parts! I also help corporate women address and overcome the problematic confidence gap between genders.
“I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to MYSELF” is the most common regret on one's deathbed
Don’t let that be the case for you! I’ll share the tools to cultivate and manage energy in all aspects of your life, and I’ll help you identify your own purpose. Get ready to feel truly empowered to live the life you choose and actually find happiness in your career and day-to-day.
So, what does all this look like for you in practice?
Queen of My Hustle programmes for corporate women feeling stuck
You’ve been working hard all your life but not always feeling like you got enough out of it.
Given your role, you should be the one in charge, and yet it feels like your job and environment have been controlling you.
I mean, sure: you’ve been climbing the corporate ladder… but the view up there isn’t what you were hoping for. Almost every day, you wake up feeling dissatisfied and overwhelmed.
