Lead Easy

When it comes to your goals, you likely are unaware of how your current mindset is blocking you. 

This is not about teaching you to instill habits, to do something for 21 days, or to "remind yourself of your why", although I know all those strategies are helpful. This is about changing your entire perception of how you are going after goals, and how to shift your mindset so that you are DRAWN to your goals, don’t let setbacks derail you, and inevitably - and of course effortlessly - exceed your goals.

A few things:

I’ve talked about imposter syndrome, which is when all the evidence or indicators point to your successes and talents (promotions, special projects, accolades), but you still lack belief or question your abilities. 

But what about when you have “evidence” outside yourself that points to you NOT being as capable or talented as you thought? How do you maintain confidence then? 

What I mean by outside evidence is either someone gives you constructive criticism or feedback OR the outcomes/results you are getting are not indicative of your success (e.g. you aren’t meeting your goals).

Getting difficult feedback has the potential to derail your career, or even your life. I’ll be sharing how to maintain confidence when the “evidence” isn’t there, make peace with past feedback , and handle receiving it moving forward.

In part 2, I’ll talk about how to maintain confidence when you aren’t reaching your goals.

Have you ever felt bad for having anger or other difficult emotions? If you've ever said, "I'm trying to manage my anger," or "I have anger issues", this is for you.

Anger alone is not bad or good - it just is. It’s normal. It’s part of the human experience. And in some cases even helpful.

The problems arise when the actions and behaviors that stem from anger are undesirable or unhelpful. Or if you are tired of feeling angry because it’s actually a very draining feeling/energy and not so fun to feel all the time.

If you try this exercise, I'd love to hear about your experience!
