To Be Deliberate, Know Your Impact

I have been thinking about confidence.? In many coaching and training sessions with clients, confidence, self-belief and a lack of conviction emerge as identified barriers to reaching the next level, exceling at the current level and performing at the level required now.?

The reasons why can be many and varied.? Often stemming from our formative years, we have received messages of not being good enough, smart enough, quick enough.? As we progress into adolescents and adulthood, it’s often shame associated with an embarrassing event, or incident that stays with us.? Maybe someone delivered feedback to us in an ineffective and inappropriate way.? Maybe we felt shamed in front of colleagues or clients.? Whatever the reason is, it can really put a dent in our confidence and have us questioning ourselves and our value.?

The antidote to this is knowing your impact.??Your impact is unable to be replicated by any other being on this planet.? It is uniquely yours.? You were born with it.? No one else was.? They have their own of course, but it’s not yours, and you don’t have theirs. Like your fingerprint, it is unique to you.?

So whilst your impact is part of you, because it comes from you, like many you may not have identified what it is and how to use it.?

The best way to identify your impact is to determine what you are here for.?

?

Who do you support??

What do you love doing??

What value does your impact have???

I have recorded a short video on The Deliberate Leader Resource page to help you develop your impact plan.?

To be deliberate, know your impact!
