Is the resplendent rose garden thanks to the cuttings, or the gardener's hand? 🌹
I was chatting with a client last week – a rockstar CEO and Founder – who received some well-deserved kudos for her team's accomplishments. Her response? “They’re a great team.”
Wait, wait, wait! 🛑
Where are you in this scenario? You started this company, you hired great people, you nurtured them, and helped them be their best. This is YOUR win too!
Our successes don't magically grow like daisies sprouting from concrete. But, if we don’t recognize our roles in making them blossom, we diminish our sense of self-efficacy. And that really, really matters if we want to keep showing up for our goals and doing hard things. Self-efficacy is the belief that one has the ability to act in ways that will lead to specific goals. It’s been shown in countless studies to have a big impact on our energy and willingness to keep trying. It's like Miracle-Gro for your confidence!
So, Uplifters, let’s celebrate the heck this week out of all the ways we are showing up for our goals and dreams. Like, right this second, maybe you could pause whatever you’re doing and think of one good thing that’s happened recently, big or small, and list three specific ways YOU contributed to that success.
You did that! How badass are you??
Recognizing your role in success isn't bragging – it's building your self-efficacy muscle. So, let’s smell the roses we’ve planted this week.
Here's to cultivating success and owning our awesomeness,
