A message from the unknown

Day 4 of the Unknown

A month ago I decided to quit my job as a consultant. This step took me great courage. It meant leaving colleagues that I love and the stability and 'knowing' that employment offers.

There was a voice in my head that said: "What are you doing, Dani? You don't even know what's next". But there was also another voice. And this one was louder. It was the voice of my heart and it was telling me: "Live your true life". I could not spend a day longer ignoring this voice.

So what is my true life? The truth is, I don't know yet. I am still in the process of unwrapping layers of un-trueness. Of expectations that I tried to fulfil, of empty goals that did not fulfil me. Of expectations towards being a women.

And as I unwrap, I'm realizing that this also needs a different approach: one of vulnerability, of sharing my un-knowing and of connecting authentically.

So here is my message from the unknown: I don't know what's next. And that's incredibly exciting.

Because whatever it will be, I know I will bring my true self and my gifts.

As a leader. My relentless passion and advocacy for topics that matter: female leadership, diversity and sustainability. My drive to speak up for people, to relentlessly challenge the status quo without a filter.

As a coach. My ability to ask questions that inspire change. To individuals and groups. Questions that bring others closer to follow their heart and intuition. Questions, that challenge and make uncomfortable.

And most of all, my vulnerability to share my own story. With all its failures and learnings. With all its love and light.
