No More Mr. Nice Guy
Want to make a dent in this world, come alive in your life and career, and express your Authentic Self?
Well, be prepared for some people to be bothered by that.
I’m not saying to be brash or inconsiderate. It’s just that if you share your whole self and stand out from the crowd, you may hold up a mirror to others, others who are used to hiding.
But if you stand in your truth while also holding compassion and empathy with anyone’s reactions, you will be in your power.
All this said, the more you show up as You, the more you will also attract people who love and celebrate You! Many people will revel in your authenticity (including companies).
Be whole.
Throw your weight around.
You matter.
Will You Stay on the Sidelines?
There are two types of people in this world:
1) People who do things
2) People who watch other people do things
So if you’re currently feeling “stuck” in your career … which path will you take?
