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
And feel free to reach out if you need any support
