Courage Up Moment
She was working in an organization and knew her time was up. She wasn’t operating as her full self, the energy was off. It was so clear that it was time to leave, but she kept going back because she was comfortable. She got the idea within her that there was so much more she could offer, she put her notice in, took a week of vacation to get really clear on the stuff that she wanted to do and then left. She trained her replacement and she started a new journey. When she left the organization, she didn't have a position lined up for a 9 to 5, but she had so many consulting gigs that were lined up for her. When she left it was like the floodgates opened. From there, she’s been operating in her zone of genius.
Zone of Genius
From the Clifton’s Strengths- her number one is WOO (winning others over.) When she started operating from this place, everything changed for the better.
Instead of Shrinking Down
She focused on honoring her voice and tuned out the critics. Kesha says that without others having a full relationship with you, they don’t really know. Building an authentic relationship with others who are your critics can help break down the barrier.
