The #1 Thing That Holds You Back from Career Advancement
What I’ve learned in observing myself and my executive clients for years is that the biggest factor holding us back from taking risks and having executive presence as a leader boils down to one thing - lack of self-acceptance.
We can’t show up and lead boldly if our standard is perfection. We can’t forgive others until we forgive ourselves. We can’t connect and richly serve humanity if we aren’t comfortable with our own vulnerability.
It takes humility to ask ourselves this - “Am I willing to continue to live and lead at the level I am now or not?” If the answer is an emphatic “No!” then people are willing to search inside themselves for what serious changes they’re committed to make, seek guidance along the way and establish practices to sustain growth. If not, they get right back on the treadmill to nowhere, exhausted and disappointed.
Self-acceptance means we prioritize nurturing ourselves. We take time to make food that is healthy. We establish a routine for exercise. We meditate, pray, or read daily for reflection. When in conflict we mindfully notice and accept without judgment that our need to be right might be in the way. And when we are overwhelmed we know we can put a hand to our heart and say, “May I be gentle with myself in this moment. I’ve got this.”
