            • Why it may be time to consider a new strategy or approach
            • What works for others may not work for you
            • And exploring what thoughts and habits hold you back which you may need to overcome

            • #39: mi-brandTV - Leila Singh: On How Others' Opinions DO NOT Define You!

              In today’s episode of the mi-brand HQ podcast, I am sharing an episode of mi-brandTV where I discuss the importance of letting go of others' opinions, and how embracing them and allowing them to influence us can break our career!

              Others' opinions can easily influence us to the point at which we no longer show up as our authentic best self, for fear of what others will say; we hold ourselves back from speaking up, and miss out on making and learning from our mistakes, on new experiences, on opportunities, for fear of judgement!

              We allow others' opinions to influence how we feel about ourselves.

              This can result in us seeing ourselves through the eyes of those who do not value us.

              As such - we are giving away our power to others.

              I invite you to - 

              - Know Your Worth!

              - Be selective of whose opinions you value!

              - Be Unique - Be Authentic - and Show up as Your Best Self - every time!

They build relationships with clients who value, reward, respect & celebrate everyone's diversity - and who wish to be proactive in recruiting, retaining & developing high-performing diverse talent.
