So how good are you at this?
Are you clear on who you are? your strengths? - do you unswervingly "go for it" in your own style and unique way or do you sometimes feel anxious, lack confidence in certain situations, maybe have analysis paralysis?
So what are your intentions, its important - the underpinning
My intention at work is to be? ........... so is that what you're doing? does that align to you being better at being yourself?
Yes obstacles get in the way and it's a great feeling of success when we overcome them. However we can question - am I on the right track? I know sometimes obstacles can make me doubt, sometimes they can also make me persevere!! Show me my determination.
However in all our dreams, goals, objectives - surely they must become more true and more achievable - if we are clear that one of our underpinning intentions is to "be better at being myself"
So questions and thoughts to help?
- when you are good at being better at being yourself"
- what 2 steps can you take in the next week to be better at being yourself, when and how will you do it and how will you know you've achieved it?
So much is talked of on Authentic leadership. I love simplicity, the better we lead ourselves, the better we lead others.
What do you think about any of this.?.....do let me know, love to hear from you, email below.
...and if you need a little help knowing what your top 5 strengths are, the book Strengths based Leadership by Tom Rath/Barry Conchie will buy you a code for you to complete an online questionnaire. It may just be the insight, affirmation or push you need. You may already know of Gallops strengthfinder work.
And finally ...... Wish I could acknowledge where I read or heard the phrase "be better at being yourself! - as I know its not my thought, however isn't it great!
