Thank you for a great C & C session last night! I felt your positive energy and loved the conversations! My husband could tell it went great just by looking at me as I came out of my office afterward. I have posted the video in the classroom so make sure you check that out. Feel free to comment this week about anything that comes up for you so we can support you. Are you choosing courage over comfort today?

I want to say hello and welcome to @Rose Wippich who joined us yesterday! If you are comfortable, please introduce yourself to the group so we can get to know you better.

I'm excited to talk with you C & C ladies tonight at our second meeting about change and how confidence relates to it. Please take a look in the classroom at the change cycle document and think about your experiences with change. See you in about 12 hours!

Yesterday I interviewed a podcast guest and after we were done recording I asked for her thoughts about how it went. One of her comments was “you are very good at this-asking questions and keeping the conversation flowing.” I thanked her and then said something I don’t believe I have said much: “I am pretty good at that.” It wasn’t cocky or bragging and it felt good to say it. I realized I have come a long way in my confidence journey. It wasn’t that long ago that I would not have said anything like that out loud. As I have continued growing and acknowledging my gifts I still would feel “funny” about saying these things to myself or to others. But yesterday I said it as a fact because it’s a) true and b) I am much more confident. It feels really good to recognize my self-worth! This is one reason why I started this coaching journey-I want all women to be able to share their gifts and acknowledge that yes-you have talents and worth and you should be able to unapologetically say it out loud. What’s your talent or gift? How do you share it? When others compliment you, how does it make you feel? Please share in the comments.
