Unleash Yourself from Expression-Repression!

Are you an expression-repressed professional?

When I ask most professionals if they feel comfortable putting themselves out on LinkedIn as their true selves, most disappointingly shake their head, "no".

It's an interesting paradox that many highly accomplished professionals willingly carry this metaphorical albatross around your neck from the moment you graduate from university and enter the real world.

Society dictates that you must fit into a predefined box of what it means to be a professional.

Don't color outside the lines, don't step out of the box.

And if you want to climb the corporate ladder, okay, they'll put you into another box, and if you want to climb even higher, they'll put you into yet another box.

The result?

You start repressing your true expressions.

You hide the way you want to look.

You weigh every word you speak.

You hide the full extent of your ideas so as to not ruffle any feathers.

When you become overly calculated in your words, overly concerned with political correctness, and shape-shifting your opinions based on the room's audience, you lose touch with your authenticity.

Even worse, you end up repressing your genius.

Yikes!

To truly express your genius, you must share your experiences, your expertise, and your passion because that's what sets you apart in your industry.

Your unique expression will resonate with the right people and make a significant impact.

Yes, it can be scary to put yourself out there as exactly who you are, because then there's no facade protecting you from judgment.

People may criticize, and that can be disheartening.

Are you going to let the fear of criticism hold you back from the impact you desire to create?

If you're pursuing something different than the status quo in your industry, you may be labeled a "weirdo" at first, but with time, you might become known as a genius.

Being a genius requires breaking the mold, disrupting the system, and pushing boundaries.

When you are comfortable with that, you'll truly unlock your potential and create significant impact.

Hand the albatross back to your industry, shed the constraints holding you back, and own your genius.
