Reflecting on past successes is a lovely way to face your fear of change. Recall instances where you successfully navigated the unknown or faced a fear, and today, remind yourself of your capability to adapt and overcome challenges.
External factors such as societal expectations, family dynamics, or peer influences can make it challenging to change oneself, as these factors may reinforce existing behaviours or beliefs. What can your first step be to step out of external pressures?
Change often involves uncertainty about outcomes and the future, and fear of what lies ahead can prevent one from taking the necessary steps to change. However, by actively confronting and challenging the fear of the unknown through e.g. educating oneself and setting realistic examples, one can gradually build resilience and confidence in navigating new experiences and uncertainties in life. Why not try to face your fear?
Changing oneself is not always easy. It involves self-awareness, goal-setting, persistence, seeking support, and gradually making small incremental changes to build new habits and behaviours. It's a process that requires patience, self-compassion, and a willingness to learn and grow. So let's start, I believe you can do it!
If you fear the idea of change, it will help you to break down the idea into smaller, manageable steps, which will make it easier to take that initial leap and start moving towards realising the idea.
We may be slow to act because we fear failure, lack self-confidence or tend to wait for the perfect conditions or the perfect plan before we take action. Maybe this is the time to act at last? What’s your first step?
This quote by Alan Watts is a beautiful example of the importance of overcoming fear, embracing change, and taking risks in order to grow and achieve success in your career journey. Come with me and let’s join the dance!
It's natural to feel fear when facing the unknown or making significant changes in life of in your career. However, acknowledge your feelings without judgment and understand that fear can be a signal that you're stepping outside your comfort zone, which can also be a sign of growth. Who knows, you may even become what you might have been!
Fear of career change or taking the next step is a common challenge that many people face. It may be that you feel uncertain about the future, or afraid of leaving a familiar or stable situation. It may also be that you have a fear of failure and not succeeding new expectations, or you may fear that you do not have the necessary skills and competence for a new role or career. This month let’s explore those fears. Remember, facing fear and making changes in your career or taking the next step is a courageous venture.
Design thinking is a human-centred approach to innovation and problem solving that emphasizes understanding the needs of people, challenging assumptions, and redefining problems to identify alternative solutions, and I have used it numerous times to help me personally to solve problems, as well as a tool to assist clients. The five stages of Design thinking are: Empathy, define, ideate, prototype and test. Remember that Design thinking is iterative, meaning that designers cycle through these stages multiple times as they refine their ideas and solutions. It encourages collaboration, creativity, and a deep understanding of user needs to create innovative and effective solutions. Try it!
Have you tried ChatGPT to brainstorm with you yet? I find it a nice alternative to generate new ideas. It can provide you with a variety of ideas based on the information you give it, and these can range from practical solutions to more creative approaches, depending on your needs. It even has good manners and responded with a “You’re welcome!”, when I thanked it for its help 😉.
What an eye opener to draw inspiration from fields outside your own. Sometimes, the most groundbreaking ideas emerge from combining knowledge from disparate disciplines. If you feel stuck at work, or even in life, have a conversation with a friend or colleague in a different discipline than you and see where it takes you.
Solo-brainstorming, or individual brainstorming, allows you to explore ideas freely, generating a range of possibilities, and diving deep into specific concepts. When you set out time for this, it will provide you with the opportunity to think at your own pace and consider different solutions before presenting it to others.
Here’s an example: At the top of your paper, write down the goal or problem statement for which you're hoping to generate ideas. Below that, write down the first few words that come to mind when you think of a solution. Carry on, quantity usually results in quality 😊.
This month, let's explore the theme of creative problem solving. Sometimes, we are stuck in situations, careers or limiting thoughts. But what if we allow ourselves to explore new options and have some fun brainstorming new ideas 💡? Looking forward to share some ideas with you!
The last tip I would like to share with you around is to always surround yourself with supportive people who validate your experiences and provide encouragement during times of self-doubt. Remember that you are not alone, and consistent practice over time can help you gradually to overcome imposter syndrome and build confidence in your abilities. You can do it!
Seeking positive feedback from trusted mentors, colleagues and friends can help counteract imposter feelings and provide reassurance of your abilities. Why not try this?
Imposter syndrome sometimes stems from perfectionism. Embrace your beautiful and unique imperfections and view mistakes as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than evidence of incompetence.
Let's recognise your accomplishments, no matter how small. How would you like to celebrate these small wins? Remember that keeping a journal of your achievements can serve as a tangible reminder of your capabilities.
It's sometimes difficult to challenge one's own negative self-talk, but start to question the validity of your thoughts. Are there any concrete evidence or facts supporting your beliefs? What if what you're telling yourself is not true?
Simply acknowledging that imposter feelings are common and normal can help reduce its power and normalising these feelings can make you realise you are not alone in experiencing it. If you need an ear to listen, contact me and let's talk about your imposter feelings - [email protected].
Imposter syndrome is a fascinating and often misunderstood phenomenon. It's that nagging feeling that you don't deserve your accomplishments, that you're somehow a fraud, and that sooner or later, others will discover this about you. Did you know that it's surprisingly common, even among highly successful individuals. This month well be exploring techniques which can be effective in helping you overcome imposter syndrome. Remember, you're OK, you just need some encouragement!
Always approach your reflections with openness and honesty, and avoid judging yourself or your experiences. Acknowledge and appreciate the positive aspects of yoour life, even during challenging times. Remember that cultivating a sense of gratitude can foster resilience and perspectives. May you have a lovely second quarter of this year!
We think better when we feel quiet and peaceful. Create a comfortable space where you can relax and think without distractions. This could be in nature, a cozy corner of your home or office, or anywhere else that bring you tranquility. And then breathe deeply, you are here ...
Remember to set aside dedicated time to reflect. Choose a quiet, uninterrupted time when you can focus solely on reflection. This could be daily, weekly, or whenever you feel the need.
Once you've adjusted your plans for the next quarter of this year, remember to set new intentions or goals based on your reflections. Consider what you want to accomplish and what steps you need to take to get there. Who can possibly help you? Write down your intentions to solidify your commitment to them.
Based on your reflections so far this month, what adjustments would you like to make to your goals, strategies, or action plans for the upcoming months. Try to be flexible and open to change as you continue to pursue your objectives.
Mistakes are inevitable, but they also provide us with valuable learning opportunities. Even though it's hard, reflect on any mistakes you've made during the first quarter of this year and consider what you can learn from them to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future. Remember that mistakes help you to build resilience.
Now may be the time to reflect on any obstacles or challenges you encountered during the first quarter of this year. Consider what caused these challenges and how you responded to them. Reflecting on setbacks can provide valuable insights into areas where you may need to improve or adjust your approach. What would you like to change?
At the start of this new quarter, it may be necessary to reflect on whether your priorities have shifted since the beginning of the year. Are there any new goals or areas of focus that have emerged? Consider whether your current priorities still align with your values and long-term objectives. Contact [email protected] if you need help in evaluating your priorities.
It's important to examine your daily habits and routines from time to time, to see if they are helping or hindering your progress towards your goals. Which habits or routines would you like to change, or improve upon in the next quarter of this year?

As Jim Collins says: ""The real question is not, 'Why greatness?', but 'What work makes you feel compelled to try to create greatness?' If you have to ask the question, 'Why should we try to make it great? Isn't success enough?', then you are probably engaged in the wrong line of work. #GoodtoGreat #CareerChange #NewBeginnings #CareerTransition #DreamJob #CareerGoals #JobSearch #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerShift #CareerAdvice #ChangeIsGood #JobHunt #CareerPath #EmbraceChange #CareerGrowth #JobTransition #ExploreYourPotential #NewCareer #FutureOfWork #CareerPlanning #CareerSuccess #CareerCoach #identitycoaching
