Most of my adult life I’ve been in a leadership role in one form or another.
But then came the narcissist in my life. More than one of them actually.
With every hit from the narcissist I fought to get back on my feet again. I had enough strength and determination to stand against the onslaught of verbal and emotional abuse and keep going…until I didn’t.
I felt that I had gotten myself into a pickle and it was my job to get myself out of it.
So I limped forward, determined not to be beaten.
I was exhausted and disheartened.
The longer it went on the more my confidence eroded.
The longer it went on the more I felt unfit for leadership.
As a matter of fact, I didn’t even want to lead. I was too worn down to rise to the occasion.
When the time came that I knew the Lord was calling me to step up and step out again, I knew I needed to rebuild my confidence and belief in my ability to set goals, to win, and to lead well.
That’s what we’re going to be talking about this week.
Each day this week I’m going to share 5 “seeds of confidence” that you’ll need to replant and nurture as you rebuild your confidence to lead again after narcissistic abuse.
