I think from speaking to quite a few next gen emerging entrepreneurs, leaders and people trying to find their authentic voice and build business that create positive impact, Something I've noticed that leaders struggle with (that I have struggled with too is), how to raise your hand and ask for help? Many of us are very eager to help someone. Which is a great starting point. But many of us struggle to know when and how to ask for help. Often when we are stuck in a rut, we tend to start isolating ourselves coz our first instinct isn't always who should I reach out to for help. There is a lot of shame and guilt around feeling weak, expressing vulnerability and asking for help. After a lot of work on myself of healing my traumas on my journey of business and life in general I've been learning from amazing mentors like Brene Brown that AUTHENTIC VULNERABILITY is actually a SUPER POWER. But does VULNERABILITY come first or does TRUST come first? According to Brene they both happen simultaneously. Helping people to trust in others so that they can powerfully express their vulnerabilities in a 'safe space' is a game changer for human expression as a whole. How are you choosing to raise your hand and ask for help? & How are you choosing to courageously trust or courageously be vulnerable in business and life in general?

This tool was brought to my attention when I starting recording for YouTube videos. I finally got to using it today, and I can tell you it made a significant difference in my recording audio!

Enjoy! https://podcast.adobe.com/enhance#

Shifting your mindset in the moment is sometimes really hard. But if you could whisper some words of encouragement to your younger self, what would that be? I love this quote "Be who you needed when you were younger." I often think about this that there is someone out there that is struggling with what you once struggled with. And only if you could reach out and tell them what your younger self needed to hear, what an impact that could make on their life today. The impact and encouragement that I probably didn't receive when I was in the midst of the struggle then. So what would you want to say to your younger self, you wish someone had reached out and said to you when you were in the midst of a struggle or challenge you were trying to overcome?

As Captivating/community builders we do our best to show up with a smile on our face and sometimes the behind the scenes is not the presentation, the offer stack, the KPI's ect. but it is what is going on in our own lives. Writing helps me and for those of you who are dealing with a 'parenting schedule' as you build your Captivating life/community here are my words, my lyrics.
