In the spirit of reflection, self-awareness and shouting into the internet abyss (AND… perhaps not having a “real” topic and article ready for today… 👀), here are a few things I’ve learned from week 1 of the Daily WIP:
So excited to follow along! Feeling the messy middle big time and as I grow in my career realizing no matter my title, experience, seniority, etc. maybe I'll always feel this?
Sarah! My first official comment 🥹 Thank you for your vulnerable share.
“Maybe I’ll always feel this way?” I happen to agree…
I had a really cool moment with a CEO the other day (talk about entering a situation with imposter syndrome!), and she said, “Let me let you in on a little secret: we’re all human and we’re all making it up as we go.” In the moment I took a major exhale, and then I found myself going, wait… sh*t 😂 In a funny way, that’s not what I wanted to hear. I want to have it figured out!
But with that awareness and that moment of candor from a super successful executive, I realized the goal isn’t necessarily to arrive at certainty. It’s to get more comfortable dancing with the uncertainty. And maybe even trust that we’re not behind, we’re just… “becoming.” (A term one of my mentor coaches uses often and I’m learning to love 💕)
So here’s to the messy middle. I’m so glad we’re in it together 🤝
