Let’s jump into this new week knowing

Risks, opportunities and having the courage

There are some risks in showing boldly who we are

There are also great opportunities which come with it

Last week I have posted vulnerable and authentic to me content

And I have received powerful feedback about the impact this post had on many who read it

Well, believe me, I didn’t expect that

And sharing this on social media was far beyond my comfort zone

But I have learnt again that being authentic and vulnerable can powerfully impact not only me and my choices, business, career and life but those I am connecting with, their choices, their businesses, careers and lives

So what are the risks in showing up authentically and being vulnerable:

• Rejection

• Misunderstanding

• Heartbreak

• Feeling fearful and uncomfortable

I have noticed that fear makes this list longer and risks bigger than they are in reality

Because when we find the courage to:

❣ Review our situation

❣ Look inside of ourselves

❣ Take an action

❣ Show up authentically

Then we suddenly find many opportunities to grow in:

• Authentic leadership

• Great performance

• New projects

• Clarity about the next career step

• Creative ideas

• Healthy lifestyle

• Freedom

• Life with purpose

• Fulfilment

• Supportive and collaborative relationships

And as this changes us it also creates a powerful impact on others

So here are some questions which help you to get into the opportunities zone:

What are my natural traits, strengths, core values and needs?

What is my purpose in life?

What is the impact I want to have on others lives?

How can I align those with my career, relationships and my lifestyle?

How can I start today?

Stay curious and vulnerable with yourself and others
