Rewriting Leadership & Vulnerability
How do you show up and SHINE? Are you excited to let the world see your brilliant and unique self? Some of you might be an excited yes, but I know many of you feel anxiety instead.
That’s why I’m talking about this important topic. How we show up is everything!
We have been conditioned to believe that to be taken seriously we have to be perfect.
Or do we?
The magic happens when we let go of the pressure to be flawless and embrace our authenticity.
I’m going to guide you through the fun of showing up as your true self. Here’s what that can do for you:
- Make more authentic connections.
- Get the recognition you deserve.
- Inspire the right people who will be eager to work with you.
- Be seen as an inspired leader.
I was always taught that I needed to be perfect. Owning a small business just added to that pressure. To be trusted means you have to know everything and never show any doubt, right?
My experience has shown me that’s just not true. My most engaging posts and videos with the largest views are when I share my less-than-perfect self. Yep. Now, for many of you that’s going to be a scary thought.
After all, showing up as our very real, imperfect selves takes vulnerability. Most of us (maybe all of us?) were taught to never let someone see us as the messy, imperfect people we are.
Vulnerability is a tremendous strength. When we show up as our real selves others see us as approachable, interesting and relatable. You create a space where they feel okay to show up as their imperfect self. People are more likely to relate to you, not less!
Accept your imperfect self, flaws and all. The more you share the things that you thought you should hide; the more people will be drawn to you.
Being part of a community is a great step to help you manage fear. When you have a tribe on your side, it’s so much easier.
Lastly, be easy on yourself. Treat yourself with kindness and understanding on this journey.
