As a 20+ year leader in my career; I've had many highs and lows. I never felt good enough at any point in my career. I always felt like I didn't have enough education, I grew up in a small town, my introvert personality was a weakness, and Im too small to make a Big impact.
These were all thoughts that constantly replayed in my head like a cd skipping from all the scratches and mishandling on a daily basis. No one in my family reached any level of real success, so what makes me different?
We All have had some self destructive thoughts at some point in life. We All had 2 choices:
1. Accept our Reality and conform or
2. Write our own story and be the exception & change needed to inspire
You may think "it's too late for me" but that's simply not true. It’s just another lie you tell yourself in order to stay comfortable.
I've never liked cookie cutter advice that may be great advice, but doesn't apply to my specific circumstances. That is why it's always my goal to be "Respectfully Real" and infuse hope into people I cross paths with.
Do you appreciate when people shoot it straight with you like an arrow in motion laced in Vi**ra?
I've been the new face of leadership trying to be brave in rooms of wolves. I understand the pressure, the fear, the imposter syndrome. Who is ready to have some real talk?
