33. What’s Your Commitment to Yourself?
Manage episode 501096397 series 3599254
What if the clarity you're seeking isn't about having all the answers, but about cultivating deep conviction in what matters most to you?
And what if the wobbly feeling you have when charting your own course isn't a sign you're on the wrong path, but evidence you're choosing authenticity over easy?
In this solo episode, I reflect on a conversation that sparked some deep thinking about conviction and direction. Someone who knew me 25 years ago remembered my clarity of purpose during a time when I was actually feeling quite wobbly and uncertain. It got me wondering about the difference between confidence and conviction, and why one matters more than the other for sustained leadership impact.
You'll explore:
- How major burnout at 32 led to life-changing clarity about what truly mattered
- Why conviction can grow even when confidence feels shaky
- The questions that form the foundation of authentic commitment to yourself
- How blind alleys and course corrections actually strengthen your sense of direction
- Why comparing yourself to others' corporate trajectories misses the point entirely
- The relationship between authentic living and sustained impact
- How to honour your values even when the path feels uncertain
Whether you're questioning your current direction, feeling the strain of relentless effort, or simply curious about what it means to stay true to yourself over decades, this conversation offers a framework for cultivating the kind of conviction that becomes fuel for meaningful change.
Sometimes the path that feels most uncertain in the moment becomes the only path that could have been truly yours. This episode explores why that paradox might be exactly what your leadership journey needs.
