One “must” for this week
“Disrupt your own narrative” by Michael Gervais.
The stories we tell ourselves can shape our identities, aspirations, and experiences.
To step up and align our lives with our ambitions, we must reexamine our stories, create a clear vision for our future, focus on what's in our control, and believe in our abilities.
The “old story” vs the “new story” is also a powerful introspective exercise that we use in coaching, allowing people to see all the progress they made for themselves.
