So, now what…
I took the jump to step away from talking in “we’s” and being more confident in talking in “I.” Cannot say it is coming naturally, it is definitely taking effort. Finding I am rethinking my words sometimes, which is not a natural state. But I have to get good at owning that I am good at what I do….
I started using my own voice on LinkedIn. Very strange. To this point, I have always been shouting out my teams and employers. Now I get to talk about me, without social media policies lingering over me… wow!
Then I did a podcast, and rapidly signed up for more podcasts and webinars… who knew people wanted to listen to me that way?
So now, blogging… not sure I know what it means to be a blogger. I kind of sit down and a theme pops in my head. Sometimes its personal that bleeds to professional and sometimes it is truly professional. My thoughts continue to drive one common theme, something I learned in the last few years and refuse to ever forget it again - that no one controls our happiness other than ourselves.
So, welcome to my blog. I will always reflect on themes that give you some sort of self-care. Sometimes hard lessons, sometimes tiny changes, but always about being a better you.
