Do you have your own back?

Do you have your own back?

I was coaching a client this week and our session focused on how she isn’t hitting her goals, how she isn’t showing up the way she wants to, how she isn’t sure she’ll move up in the organization…

Her focus was on all the things she thinks she isn’t.

Not focused enough.

Not polished enough.

Not prepared enough.

Not good enough.

I know exactly how that feels because I’ve been there, too.

Haven’t you?

So, I after listening a bit, I asked her if any of these thoughts were useful – would they get her to where she wants to go.

Her answer was no.

Then I asked, “What if your bff was saying all this? What would you say to her?”

Her reply, “I’d tell her how amazing she is, how she handles a huge work load expertly. How she’s been promoted 3 times in the last 10 years and gotten bonuses each year. How she is uber smart (she has her MBA) and that she always gets complimented on her style.”

As she spoke I could see in her eyes she had that lightbulb moment.

“Oh, “ she said softly.

Yeah.

Can you relate?

What if you had your own back? 

What if you believed in yourself so hard that nothing would shake your confidence? 

What if you were so certain of your value and worth that it didn’t matter what anyone else thought or said?

It takes practice and a willingness to be open to new beliefs.

Decide to trust yourself.

Decide to count on yourself.

Decide to believe in yourself.

That my friend is where self-confidence lives.

That is personal power at its finest. 

P.S. If you’ve decided to stop doubting and start believing, then it’s time to talk. Schedule your consultation call with me today. Now is the best time to start to believe.

I believe in you.
