COURSE 1: YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS WITH SOPHIE SABBAGE
Welcome to No7 x AllBright’s course one, You Can Do Hard Things.
In this opening chapter, you will begin your journey with Sophie Sabbage, your expert for this course and the founder and CEO of Lifework. Sophie will begin by sharing why she is the perfect person to guide you in doing hard things; she has done many. She will then share what you will be learning and how this will irrevocably assist you in your path to she-covery as we turn a corner into the spring of this new year.

In chapter two, Sophie will explore with you the two most disempowering and disabling words in the English language: I can’t.
She will share how we can shift our mindset from “I can’t”, to “I can”, to “I am”.
Exploring our mindset is vital when approaching difficult situations, unforeseen events or shocking information. It is in doing this that we are able to harness our strength, our courage and feel empowered as we remember our ability to respond to all that life throws at us and fundamentally make choices.
Accompanying this video is a worksheet to support you in your practice of this. It is called The Verification Process. This is your chance to get curious about your own mind and the information it presents you with. Learning, as Sophie shows, how to verify what you are telling yourself as true, false or don’t know.

In chapter three, Sophie explains how OK it is to believe that you can’t and to say no to what is happening. She reassures us how very human, very normal and appropriate a response this is. How we need to have our, “No, I can’t,” in order to get to, “Yes, I can.” Here we start to understand that by shifting our mindset - from “I can’t” to “I can” – we may just find that we have more space to come up with creative and practical solutions to the situations we find ourselves in. To support you in this, Sophie shares a very simple and effective technique that acknowledges your “‘No, I can’t,” first, then takes you all the way through to “Yes, I can and I am.” This is a physical shift – one that supports your body to move through any stuck emotions that are preventing you from stepping forward and meeting life as it is, already happening.

Chapter four is probably the most important chapter of this course. It’s about remembering how capable, valuable, strong, courageous, creative, and powerful you really are. This self-remembering – of who you are and why you can do the hard things – is a vital component of actually being able to face challenges. In order to access the parts of yourself that you may have forgotten, Sophie has created an exercise to help you remember. A generator for you to fill in within your workbook. Have this to hand whilst she takes you through the exercise step by step in this chapter’s video. Because, to quote AA Milne, “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you’ll ever know.” You can do hard things.

Accepting the unknown and placing your faith in the mystery. Something that forces us to relinquish control at the best of times is hard. Chapter five is where Sophie will share with you the immense power of not knowing. How it has allowed her to step into her life more fully than ever. Addressing the simple fact – one we as humans find so hard to swallow – that ultimately we cannot predict the future. This is a control reflex, one that presents itself in testing moments. A way we try to prepare ourselves for the worst. We gather the evidence of the past and decide that this is what will happen again, now. In this chapter, Sophie shares how we really don’t know what will happen next and how it is in surrendering to this truth that we get to live more freely. Within this profound realisation, you can turn your attention away from catastrophizing and allow life to write the outcome, making space for hope and faith in your every day.

In chapter six, Sophie’s final video of the course, she will remind you what you’ve learned. How you can now shift out of an “I can’t” mindset into an “I can” mindset and how you can unite all the chapters in answering the big question: how do I respond in a crisis? Through bringing together the four processes – The Verification Process, The I Can Process, The Not-Knowing Process, and The Self-Remembering Process – you now have a toolkit to support you when you are facing any hard thing. Parting with a final gift, held within this video, Sophie guides you through a visualisation to bring your time to a close and honour all you have learned together.
