As a personal branding coach to high achievers, I have a special insight into the inner lives of many of my clients. And one unfortunate thing many of them have in common?
They don't see themselves clearly.
Their possibility and their potential for GREATNESS is often obscured by a lack of self-awareness.
So they downplay their gifts, sell themselves short, and end up overlooked for the very opportunities they seek.
Since the company we keep is important, and we base so much of our self-knowledge on what the world is mirroring back, it must have something to do with the people around us, right?
After talking to so many high achievers who don't know one another, I've spotted four sources of this blurred vision.
Here are four types of people who tend to obscure our ability to see our full potential:
1.) the opportunist
2.) the micromanager or toxic leader
3.) the person who sees us as who we used be despite our evolution
4.) the person who's unfamiliar with the territory we were born to roam
Which one resonates with you? Drop me a note online - I'd love to hear from you!
