You’re Not ‘Back at Square One’. Relax.

You’ve done the work. Engaged in training, reflection, belief-building and courageous conversations. You’ve unearthed something powerful beneath the layers of self-doubt.

You’ve experienced a shift, claimed your space, and found your voice. 

But then something happens. 

You lose your confidence.  You falter. A project doesn’t go as well as you anticipated.

It’s easy at that point to retreat into your shell and decide you’re a failure.

That the success you had was just an illusion.

And to become your harshest judge, jury and critic.

But hold on. You’re not a failure.

This is a blip. 

There’s a lot of learning in those blips.

I felt judgment, self-criticism, and fear when COVID hit.  My thriving business hit a wall as all my face-to-face work stopped suddenly. No work = no income.

But once I’d cried and ranted at the unfairness in the world and moved beyond my shame, I decided to pick myself up and start an online programme.  And I’ve never looked back.

My so-called ‘failure’ became one of my biggest successes. But more importantly, it creates more joy for me than I could ever imagine!

To your success always – and to the blips that help us get there!
