Yikes!

 This is my first video for Linkedin and I’m way out of my comfort zone. I recorded 5 different versions. I agonised over whether I should post it. I know that I will probably look back on it in a year (when I’m more accomplished) and cringe. So why do it?

I’m walking the talk.

As a coach, I actively encourage my clients to lean into discomfort so they can grow. Sometimes they need a gentle (or not so gentle) nudge. Sometimes they borrow the confidence that I have in them.

I’ve also made this video without my usual ‘armour’ of makeup and corporate clothes. That felt uncomfortable too.  Sometimes it’s being authentic or vulnerable or exposing yourself that feels like a risk.

Risks are sometimes worth taking though. Life would be a little too safe without them.
