A dose of own medicine - ´what if I could ...´

I´ve been reluctant to do much by way of marketing or posting on LinkedIn, because of the big

WHAT IF factor.

• What if … I have nothing new to say

• What if … nobody reads it

• What if … the post generates negative feedback

• What if … it takes me weeks to write

• What if … it´s not perfect

One day last week, when I was walking and reflecting on my lack of engagement with all things marketing and LinkedIn, I was considering all these ´what ifs´ and things that could go wrong. Until I remembered the coaching session earlier that day when I asked my client: “But what if you could …¨. This question released a warm glow of confidence and self-belief in my client, plus a whole new stream of creative thought.

So here´s a dose of my own medicine, with this post as a direct outcome of asking myself: “what if I could …” – and in the same way as was the case for my client, I experienced that wonderful feeling you get when you believe in yourself and are confident in what you provide. This is a simple, but powerful and magical nudge to create self-belief, and the different outcomes that are then possible.

And as a result, I now have many more ideas for posts and blogs to write - stay tuned!
