What path do you need to chart?
It’s that time of the year.
We have hit the halfway mark.
Questions to ask #SELF are:
- How am I doing?
- Am I still on track?
- Do I need to re-evaluate ?
- What is working?…..what isn’t?
- What can I #START, #STOP or #CONTINUE doing?
As I was self calibrating last week, I remembered how #rejection almost crippled me.
To be precise, rejection in my places of work.
There were 2 major instances of rejection that threw me off my flow.
– I felt inadequate
– I felt fake
– I felt depressed
– I felt paralysed
– I felt gutted
In fact the imposter syndrome that lay somewhere deep within me came to the fore.
Can you relate to this?
You see my entire #focus was so much on the rejection, that I did not honour the:
*growth
*networks
*the successes
*the impact I had on my direct reports.
Things that were apparent and clear to everyone, were in no way in my line of vision.
I directed my #energy towards the rejection and had my own pity party.
In hindsight, the rejection was definitely a blessing in disguise. It gave me a good wake up call, and the rest as they say is history.
Though it was a tough journey, ( and #impostersyndrome is still a big work in progress for me) once I acknowledged the learnings, I was able to see the growth, the networks, the successes and so on, with such #clarity.
I have charted out my own path, bruises and all I have my scars for all to see.
What path do you need to chart?
I have been there and I can help you with the clarity you need.
