Yesterday I led a grounding exercise at Elevate Africa's women's leadership breakfast in Ghana.
I started my working life as a pharmacist...that was a practical choice but the truth was being practical kept me mediocre because it wasn't what I was really put on this earth to do.
If I had stayed in that life, more than likely, I would have been behind a counter, dispensing medication in a white coat and hating my life a little bit.
Today my gifts make room for me.
I led former presidents in a mindfulness exercise and gave a charge to a room of international leaders.
This month I have three speaking engagements.
I have clients that range from middle management to C-suite leaders and even dignitaries and luminaries.
You have gifts.
You have unique qualities God placed inside of you.
You have a way of being that will set you apart...
But you are stuck in doing.
Laboring. Performing.
Or maybe you aren't stuck.
You may be compensated but you are not set apart and adequately compensated. And you know it's time to ask what comes next. How do I stand out? How do I become seen by the right people in the right way? I'm ready for my gifts to make room for me...
If this is the question you are asking, then you are ready for Iconic by Design, I'm hosting this workshop this Saturday - online. Register via link in my bio. Or comment Iconic and we'll send you the link.
PS
Maybe I need a PA or house manager...
I forgot my intended handbag back in lagos...but this was cute enough so I rocked it with joy.
