“I’m becoming present to me.”
Those were the words said by a client earlier this year.
It was a truly beautiful moment.
She was waking up and seeing the value in herself, who she really was and what she was capable of doing, achieving and becoming.
Initially she was struggling to see how she could move sideways in her job because she didn’t feel like she had any value to offer in a different role.
She had drawn a box of limitations around her job and what she had known and done for years.
So we talked about transferable skills, that it’s not just a job title but soft skills like creativity and communication and she started to see how the strengths she had in her current job could be applied elsewhere.
But we also went deeper, exploring her innate inner strength, wisdom, creativity and potential and the value she brought just by being her.
That’s when she started to see her value beyond what was written on the tin and, once she recognised that, how that opened up possibilities.
And more than that – this realisation saw her recognise and embrace her power.
She literally dazzled. It gave me goosebumps.
Our value is part of who we are at our core. It’s our worth. Our essence. Our power.
It’s not defined by our job or job title.
We are stronger, more capable, more resilient and more awesome than we think we are.
