When the question was put to me, “Who am I at my core?” I froze.

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may have noticed like I did, that buzzwords took on a whole new dimension. ““Unprecedented times”, “stick together” and “let’s Zoom” were just a few phrases that saw a serious uptick in everyday conversation, between colleagues and in the media. Some were true, others were just fluff words.

We’ve all had those cookie-cutter job interview questions. You know the ones, “Tell us about your strengths,” and, “what are your weaknesses?” The answer to the latter is generally something like, “I’m a perfectionist, but I’m working on letting go of that to enable myself to work alongside others and harness my creative and collaborative skills.” Right?

As a high achiever, or someone constantly striving for more, you may be used to completing tasks at a certain level, a certain speed. Because of your performance level, you’re often called on to produce more, and as somewhat of a perfectionist you say, “yes” because saying, “no” is not on your CV.  So, where does the cycle end? How can you be productive and effective in your results without letting your team down, or your wellbeing? Is it a matter of your time management, or your boss’ management of your time?

6 POWERFUL QUESTIONS TO OVERCOME LIMITING BELIEFS

Previously, we uncovered the self-limiting beliefs that you hold, how they were formed and why you were continuing to reinforce this thinking that wasn’t allowing you to grow. Now, we’re focusing on creating new, enabling beliefs which will replace the old ones.

Beliefs. Yep, we’ve got them alright. The ones we say out loud, the ones we keep to ourselves. The ones about people, the world, politics and outer space, but most of all - the beliefs we have about ourselves.
