Do you have a calm, inner conviction about who you are and what it is that you can achieve in your life, or are you riddled with self-doubt and fear of what other people think of you?
Hi, this is Grant Herbert, Emotional Intelligence Speaker and Trainer of the Year and Master Coach Trainer, and today, I want to continue our conversation around the first quadrant of Emotional Intelligence by helping you to discover your power within.
Many people that I work with are addicted to approval. They get around every single day, worried about what other people might think about their performance. I know all too well in my own life how this can be debilitating, and it can hold you back from being who it is that you were created to be.
The funny thing about seeking approval is that oftentimes we try so hard to seek approval that we actually behave in a way that pushes people away. There's those three universal fears that we operate out of: the fear of not being good enough, the fear of not being a part of the group, not belonging, and the fear of not being loved. And these can be extremely powerful and have a hold on you unless you develop your Personal Power. Having that limited self-confidence tends to put you in a situation where you are not able to set clear boundaries, where you let people walk all over you or confuse them by not actually letting them know in the first place how it is that you'd like to be treated.
There are five key principles that we need to understand that we need to take on so that we can build this?Personal Power.
Principle #1:?Be authentic.
Principle # 2:?Retrain that inner voice.
Principle # 3:?Set and maintain healthy boundaries.
Principle # 4:?move on quickly.
Principle # 5:?Speak your truth assertively
