A recent conversation with a client who was struggling to see her value went like this:
Me: “You turned around a failing team and that nearly doubled the business.”
Client: “I just don’t see it. I just followed the obvious strategy. It was so clear.”
Me: “Was it? Three people before you couldn’t see it.”
Client: <silence>
Then I suggested the following, “What if the universe gave you a specific set of talents and put you here for a reason.”
“And denying it only keeps you from your purpose.”
“Surrendering, even if it feels uncomfortable, is actually serving the universe and others?”
Some of us need a sense of calling to let go and stand in our value.
As Marianne Williamson said, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.”
Think about what you do and what you bring to your team and organization each day.
It will leave you less burnt out, more energized, and more resilient.
All my best,
Claire
