Where are you settling for leftovers in your own life?
What bold step could you take to reignite your passion and make a real difference?
It’s so incredible to me when I see the most qualified, kind, leaders take themselves out of the game because they are willing to settle for less.
Take Keira, for example, a VP at a software company on the brink of a significant promotion. When discussing her potential new role, I sensed her lack of enthusiasm.
Delving deeper, we uncovered her fears of stepping on toes and not being perceived as capable enough.
In a playful moment, I asked Keira a simple question: "Do you like leftovers?"
This sparked a realization within her that she was settling for a role based on others' preferences and concerns.
By challenging her to envision a scenario where she faced no limitations, Keira's excitement and passion were reignited as she described a more creative and impactful role aligned with her true aspirations.
I always urge my clients to dream BIG, and scale back on the goal only if necessary, rather than settling for mediocrity or playing it safe.
Keira's story is a testament to the power of daring to reach for more - she now thrives as an SVP overseeing Product and Strategy, making a significant impact in her new position.
So, I ask you: Where are you settling for leftovers in your own life?
What bold step could you take to reignite your passion and make a real difference?
Dare to dream big, to feel alive, and watch as your potential unfolds before you.
