For us to be able to grow, change, and truly succeed, we must have the courage to tell the truth - first to ourselves and then to those around us. This is much easier said than done. On this episode, I talk about some of the things that make it hard for us to face and share the truth. I then talk about why this is essential for us, our relationships, our teams, and any important change or goal we have. Finally, I share some specific things we can do to expand our courage and our ability to operate with liberating and inspiring authenticity.

Back in my baseball days when we’d get down early in a game, we would often talk about just going “station to station.” This meant we needed to keep things simple and just try to get runners on base…so that we could methodically get back into the game. When things get stressful, overwhelming, or difficult, it’s often an important practice for us to stay present and focus on going station to station. On this episode, I share some specific ways we can do this, which allow us to be more peaceful, grounded, and effective, as we navigate change and challenge.

When we own our story, we allow ourselves tell the truth about who we are, what has happened, and how we truly feel. If we choose to share our story with others, we can both liberate ourselves from debilitating fear and shame, as well as connect with them in an authentic and vulnerable way. On this episode, I talk about why it takes courage to own our story and why doing so is essential for our freedom and fulfillment.

I then share five specific things we can do to make the powerful shift from proving to believing.
