PSA: Don’t Climb a Tree If You’re a Fish
Hi, everyone,
Good news! In case you missed today's webinar, 3 Leadership Mistakes You Didn’t Know You Were Making, today I’m sharing a powerful snippet from our discussion.
I started the training with one of my favorite quotes, which comes courtesy of Albert Einstein (maybe you’ve heard of him?).
THE LANGUAGE OF LEADERSHIP
“But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.”
Have you ever been that fish? I know I have. I’ll never forget sitting in a conference room during my first job being surrounded by graphs. Graphs that confused me and made me wonder if my career was going to be limited because entering data into excel wasn’t something that came naturally to me or that I remotely enjoyed. Anyone else allergic to excel?
THE WEEKLY FLOURISH
In that moment, I was so focused on trying to figure out how I was going to fix my weakness, that I completely lost sight of my own value. At the time, I didn’t have the tools and self-awareness to communicate where I could have a massive contribution to my organization in other powerful ways. Put simply, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. This is exactly why I’ve made a career teaching thousands of employees the exact tools that can empower them to feel more valued and confident at work. I don’t want anyone climbing trees when they could be diving into an ocean of their own potential.
GREATNESS TAKES GUIDANCE
Recently, I bundled up THE BEST of what I’ve learned over the last 20 years, including strengths-based development, growth mindset, difficult conversations, and much more, into one comprehensive coaching program called: Activate: Awaken the Leader Within.
Activate is for you if you’re:
Looking to make a massive leap in your career
Need a judgement free sounding board to deal with difficult conversations and people
Wish you had a custom development plan at your fingertips
Are committed to becoming a brave, courageous leader
Know that greatness takes guidance
Are tired of feeling overwhelmed, spread-thin, and uninspired in your role
We all need a little bit more support right now. While your boss might have the best intentions, they are feeling the pressure and might not have the time or bandwidth to develop you in ways that will allow you to make the career leaps you so deserve.
Activate is an incredible opportunity to work directly with me to take control of your own development - and future. We’re currently enrolling our next cohort and our team would love to hear from you if you’re serious about leveling up your leadership this year.

To your success!
