Self-development is key for leadership capabilities and growth

My friend Gav Gillibrand posted this picture of actors who look alike. While it was funny, it got me thinking—if so many actors in Hollywood have a “type,” and some even look nearly identical, what really differentiates them? It’s not just about their looks. It’s about being uniquely and authentically THEM. Similarly, the marketplace often tries to put you in a category, to box you in. But, like an actor at an audition, it’s up to you to show how you’re different from someone who may look or sound just like you. The only way to stand out is by expressing YOUR story—what makes you unique, what drives you, and what sets you apart. In business, just like in acting, it’s your authenticity and personal narrative that will make people choose you over someone else. The more you own your story and communicate it, the more you’ll attract the right opportunities. So, are you telling your story? If you’re ready to step out of the box, let’s connect and find ways to express what makes you unique. #PersonalBranding #Authenticity #Storytelling #StandOut #BeYou

It's easy to give up when the going gets tough. It's even easier to get too comfortable when the going is good. I know because I've been in both situations. My first few rejection emails had me feeling low, making me feel "...maybe I'm not good enough...maybe I'm not even...good." ?? But I know if I'd given up, I wouldn't have landed my current gig. My current job also would've lulled me into that false comfort where you feel you can just settle and make do with what you've got. My current job allows me to take care of my needs while doing what I enjoy—writing. While it's great (my boss is a great guy!), I feel the need to transition from freelance ghostwriting to growing more professionally with a company whose goals align more with mine. Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong with taking a breather occasionally. Sometimes I take a break from applying and just read a couple of good books (I recommend The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It's an absolute gem ????) or browse recipes for my next culinary adventure (or disaster) in the kitchen. ?? But the point is that success is an unwinding journey, whose point is the personal metric(s) we hit along the way. I believe failure too is a lesson on what to do better next time. Happy Tuesday, y'all. P.S.: If you have laundry that's been in the dryer for a while, stop procrastinating, fold them today! #freelancewriting #remotework #opentowork #contentwriter #WritingIsArt

Self care is something incredibly important to day to day life. Hacking HR have reminded us of the importance of self care - and not just when you get to burn out. Self-care can sometimes be the difference between having a good wellbeing day and a bad one, at least for me anyway. Something which I do for self care might not be what is deemed self care to others but it is so important to reflect on your own needs - what is deemed as self care to you. For example - my version of self care is working on my cross stitch as it takes my eyes away from the screen, it means that in the evenings I spend time working on something which I place focus on and take time to unwind - I also tend to get something pretty out of it too! or I might take time to relax by watching my favorite show (that I have probably rewatched 1000 times). A page I read which was useful to understand what is deemed as self care is: https://lnkd.in/eqUEAX4C What do you do for Self-care?

Self-care is a priority

Be the change

Your talent sets the stage, your motivation fuels the journey, but it’s your attitude that ultimately determines the performance. Embrace each aspect with bigot and positivi, and watch how you excel beyond measure.

Self care is all about taking intentional actions to prioritize your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It's about recognizing your own needs and making time for activities that recharge and rejuvenate you. Self-care can take many forms, such as practicing mindfulness, engaging in hobbies you enjoy, getting enough restful sleep, nourishing your body with nutritious food, and setting boundaries to protect your energy. It's important to remember that self-care is not selfish; it's an essential part of maintaining a healthy and balanced life. So go ahead and make self-care a priority, because you deserve it!
