Are you showing up fully? Are you letting people see the real, vulnerable you?

In my conversations with people, I am always surprised by how much this happens to all of us. We are truly our worst enemies when it comes to judging ourselves.

Talking with a client last week, I was sharing with him how I have always struggled with the feeling I am not good enough. He was surprised. People see me and think I am super confident...

If you have read my stuff for a while, you know that is NOT the case. I don't hide that part either BUT I did for a long time. I truly and really disliked that part of me. The insecure, scared, small me.

Accepting ourselves with the dark side and all is the first step to a more fulfilled life. It is also the beginning of developing your personal brand. Nothing is more unique than you and your story. At the end of the day, all that you have experienced have made you who you are today.

So next time you are talking to somebody, no matter who that is, stop trying to be perfect or to get it right. Show up more as you. Be more you. and stop being scared of people judging you.

This is how you become your most authentic, confident and charismatic self!
