I have had a blog for 2 years and done nothing with it…because of fear. Fear of not being perfect, fear of no one actually caring about what I write or think, fear of being an imposter. This is the day I change that forever and I become a digital entrepreneur and leader. I want to make an impact and having a blog that I show up in consistantly is one way to to do that. It is also my labratory for thinking out loud so to speak. I am overcoming my fear by learning to love the work, the writing, the thinking, the editing, by showing up for myself…no matter what happens.
This actually seems like a way of living with integrity to my values, my story, my work as well. I am Founder and CEO of the FinishStrong Group, an leadership, strategy and coaching firm I founded two years ago. I get in conference rooms and corner offices (and way too many zoom calls!) and help people overcome theri fears, move past the friction, and step into new ways of being all the time. In business jargon I help entrepreneurs and leaders of all kinds develop a “bias for action”! So maybe its time for me to listen to my own words and DO something with this blog.
As my therapist of 9 years, Danielle Beardsley says…”hands, feet, lips…thounghts/emotions are great, but committed action towards your values are where the real living happens”. So here’s to real living!
