Each challenge is a push for new growth, encouraging us to be more aware and compassionate people. Interesting interview! I resonate with her sentiment that feeling uncomfortable pushes you to grow.

It seems more a shift to raising self-awareness so when there's a little pebble in your shoe, you are keen enough to use it as a turn-signal. I love this because so many of the guideposts we've been trained to are fear-based: go BIG, take the RISK, change EVERYTHING, in 7 easy steps. Liz's perspective of "uh-oh, this is a little scary; I'll try it!" is a wonderful invitation to being sensitive enough to our own signals and celebrating them as opportunities to GrOw into our (new) ways of being. So, to the question of knowing our true self and letting that guide us. Here are my top three directionals, developed over almost 10 years of building my practice. I know a new direction/client/project are taking me into who I want to be if: my very first reaction is--Yahooo!!! That is SO fabulous!; my second reaction is--Oh, sh*t, I have no idea how to do this and surely I can find someone who is better prepared/skilled or already doing this. . .; and my third reaction is a flood of potential solutions rush into my brain. THEN, (btw these three happen within about 5 seconds), I have a small script posted above my desk that says: "I would love to be part of this project, how may I best be of service to it?" This allows positive space to explore, positions me aligned with my values (of client-is-leader) and ensures a framework of collaboration.
