Turn Pressure into Purpose and Limits into Possibilities
You want your team operating at their best—engaged, productive, and confident. When individuals believe in themselves, they take initiative, innovate, and contribute at a higher level.
Confidence is such a key ingredient to success that 93% of businesses cite it as the most important factor in hiring. Yet, 80% of people struggle with self-esteem, making confidence a highly desirable trait that many find difficult to attain.
At the same time, 83% of U.S. workers experience work-related stress, much of it self-imposed, chipping away at their confidence.
As a busy mom of 6, working full-time and managing a bustling household, everyone always assumed I must’ve had my sh*t together. Nothing could have been further from the truth. The reality is I was riddled with self-doubt, second-guessed every decision I made and struggled accepting even basic compliments because I did not believe in myself.
It wasn’t until I was asked to do something that shook me out of my shell that things finally started to shift for me. Summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro at age 42 was both the hardest and best thing I’d ever done for myself. It taught me that we need to do the things that we think we cannot do, the things that seem impossible, because THAT is where true growth happens.
After conquering what seemed like an “impossible” goal, I felt inspired and empowered to conquer all of my daily doubts: comparison, judgment, fear of what others will think of me… The decision to climb MY mountain of insecurities set me on the path to becoming the best version of myself and it changed all aspects of my life and my family’s life.
Self-respect forms the foundation for how we treat ourselves and dictates the boundaries we set with others, impacting our overall well-being. If we don’t show respect to ourselves, how can we expect it from others?
Self-acceptance allows us to embrace the totality of who we are, including our strengths and accomplishments and our weaknesses and shortcomings, leading us to understand that failures are simply stepping stones to success.
Self-worth is the internal sense of your own value as a person, regardless of external validations or accomplishments. When we have strong self-worth, we feel more confident, make healthier choices, and build more positive relationships.
Self-love is the foundation for living without limits. It’s recognizing your worth isn’t defined by achievements or external approval but by who you are at your core. When you embrace yourself, you gain the confidence to take risks, pursue your dreams, and create a life of freedom.
