I hope you enjoyed last week\u2019s Thought for the Week; \u201cTo Dare or not to Dare?\u201d <\/em>which was all about letting go of the image we portray externally so we can dare to be ourselves.<\/p>\n

I also write a \u201cThought for the Week\u201d blog each week which you can read below.<\/p>\n

And the shocking thing is that, once we can overcome any fears and make that choice, it\u2019s actually much easier <\/em>to be our true authentic selves than have to play a role. That\u2019s exhausting.<\/p>\n

And if you have worked through this yourself, you will already know this!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say that we shouldn\u2019t be a little cautious about what we reveal about ourselves and how vulnerable we are \u2013 it\u2019s all about getting the right balance in each situation we are in.<\/p>\n

For instance; in a social situation where we are with loved ones and close friends whom we trust, we will find it much easier to be ourselves.\u00a0Whereas, if we go to a party where we don\u2019t know people very well, of course, we will be a little more guarded.<\/p>\n

At work, again if we are with colleagues we trust and know well, we will be more open and feel we can be ourselves.<\/p>\n

Until we get our heads around all this, it is less comfortable for us to communicate authentically and confidently.<\/p>\n

We express ourselves through speaking, writing, body language, creative endeavours (such as art and innovation), and our general demeanour. Often, however, how we express ourselves on the outside isn\u2019t how we feel on the inside. In other words, our self-expression is inhibited or\u00a0inauthentic<\/em>.<\/p>\n

At the same time, there is a clear line between being authentic and over-sharing because sharing personal problems has become a lot more socially acceptable.<\/p>\n

To be an authentic person, what we say and what we do must align with what we believe<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And THIS<\/em> is the seat of really effective communication once we master it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cBe brave enough to start a conversation that matters.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And I will leave you with that thought.<\/p>\n

If you would like to have a complimentary one-to-one coaching session<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with me to explore this further, you can book a slot HERE<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
