So, I am an alpha female proactive aristo-chic diva who gets stuff done. However, the other day, someone presented me with a professional opportunity that was my kryptonite [for those who haven’t seen Superman, firstly – watch it!, secondly, it’s the only material which can weaken him). Surprisingly, it was my seven year old daughter who convinced me that I could break the kryptonite cycle. So I went into alpha diva mode and executed the Aristo-chic four step plan:
- Step One: Do a quick analysis: What was the worst that could happen? And if that did happen, what was my plan to fix it?
- Step Two: How long was it going to take me? Was it worth my time?
- Step Three: Who else would be affected if I didn’t do it ?
- Step Four: What was the benefit to me of doing it? I knew I would be able to tell myself I had tackled my kryptonite head on – very satisfying !
So I did it and yes, I was physically broken (I’m being slightly dramatic here) at the end of it, but I was emotionally elated, and yes, I let EVERYONE know ! And the benefits were multiple, not only did I make myself proud, but I also showed my daughter that I could feel the fear and do it anyway. I am immensely grateful for her and this opportunity.
What’s your one professional kryptonite that you want to fix? Do the four step plan and go break through that fear wall – you’ve got this ! Xx
