When You’re Done With Feeling Afraid and Playing Small

CLARITY KICKSTART: September 22, 2014

I’d say the one thing we have in common is that we’re sick of feeling afraid. We want to dare greatly. We all want to be brave.

Coaching Tip for the Week:

Where are you playing small?

Where are you not speaking up, not stepping forward, not putting yourself fully and wholeheartedly into the game?

These are tough questions to address honestly. But too many of us are hiding out in some way, not living and working up to our fullest potential and experiencing the levels of joy, meaning, and purpose that we could be. This is one of the primary reasons I began Spark.

We see this more now than ever: We’re afraid to speak up for fear that our words will be misconstrued and plastered across the internet. Or we hesitate to step into a role without having all the details figured out first.

We turn away rather than risk a mistake.

As a coach, my goal is to call you up to your greatness. I’m willing to bet that your true greatness is far beyond what you’ve imagined for yourself.

This week, be brave. Call yourself up to your greatness. Take an action that stretches you. Engage in a difficult but meaningful conversation. Enroll in a course, hire support, or step forward in an area where you’re tired of stepping back.

This week, dare greatly.
