Useful Tips to Overcome Self-Limiting Beliefs and Achieve Transformational Change & Purpose-Driven Personal Leadership

By: TEAMBUSYWOMAN

What are limiting beliefs?

Limiting beliefs are narratives that hold us back from producing our very best results. They take the form of assessments and may concern ourselves, other people or the world in general.
E.g. “I am no good with numbers”, “Men do not listen”, “People will always let you down.”

“I am… / I am not …” are powerful conversations. How you complete these statements will create your reality today and what you as possible in the future. Theses

Finding your purpose - your why, your reason for being - is a constant discovery & reflection process. Know that it is perfectly OK to not know your purpose, or if it is currently evolving. Purpose is also as simple or as sophisticated as you make it to be.

Embracing Your Vulnerabilities and Staying True To Your Self & Purpose

By: TEAMBUSYWOMAN

We are strong, confident, independent and beautiful. But we are also fearful. Fearful of what people think of us. The judgements.

We worry about not being heard or if we are being too overbearing. Fearful of not looking groomed or being perceived as vain... We speak a lot about being authentic, about being true to who you are. But, when we've developed a routine of not really thinking about why we do what we do, it can be difficult to

Ikigai: “reason for being”

By: Nicole Friets

Ikigai.
A term made up of two Japanese words; “iki” (life) and “kai” (the realisation of what one expects and hopes for). To further grasp the concept of Ikigai, it is helpful to see it as the convergence of four elements: what you love (your passion), what the world needs (your mission), what you are good at (your vocation), and what you can get paid for (your profession).

Although originating in Japan, the concept of ikigai is universal; the thing

One of my favourite books is “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl. Frankl was a Jewish psychologist that survived the holocaust and his moving story is one about survival, resilience and grit.

We often hear about these factors in pep talks and inspirational speeches; however, I often find that the “why” driving your resilience, the “why” to get you up when you fall down, is missing when I listen in.
