👀 If it's important to you, you will find a way to do it. If it's not, you will find an excuse.
💥 Mind Blown…
It is the truth.
With whatever you do, you have assigned it a certain level of importance, and you will generally do as much.
Often, there is a misalignment from the Intention ➜ Action + Behaviour.
We have great intentions but fail in our actions and behaviors or bring them to life.
The other day, I had a great conversation with a client who was feeling peaked, challenged, guilty, and uncertain after receiving a comment from his boss.
Please note that the way his boss intended the comment to be received is unknown.
How it landed made my client feel he was on the naughty list.
Why? Because of who he is and how he measures himself in relation to the work he is doing. The comment landed with him as a criticism. The question is, who was criticizing him? His boss or himself as, he was not living up to his principles and values.
During our conversation, he kicked himself for not doing enough or bringing more of the value that he knew he had.
A collective Kabal of saboteurs showed up in his narrative, which serves the purpose of holding him back and triggering guilt, shame, and other negative emotions in an internal narrative.
All of which I called out and challenged. We explored different perspectives and how they impacted him.
The conversation was amazing, and the bottom line for him was an invitation to take charge of an ambiguous situation, take responsibility and accountability, and own the empowerment he has been gifted with.
Set his agenda with agency, set clear direction, purpose, and focus, and lean in.
Felt inspired, grounded, focused, and determined with a clear purpose and direction.
Talking it out is powerful.
