Some people differentiate professional development from personal development. I once believed that honing my professional skills was all that was needed for my career success.
I had a wake up call when I realized my trust was dependent on other people to give me the tools I wanted to make me successful. Having skills and choosing where I wanted to use those competencies changed. Something was missing.
Who the heck am I, what am I doing in the boardroom, where would I rather be? Only everything changed when I began to enter the portal of self development. I became aware that I had just been going along for the ride without a roadmap.
The fact that I was clueless about my identity as a human with a desire to contribute to the world of work, set me on a new pathway. I discovered there are many dimensions of who I am. My destiny was careening out of control because I was not in the driver’s seat. OOPS!
Discovering my inner truths allowed me to become a fuller expression of me. That’s when I claimed my ShaMama Avatar who is wise, inner-directed, and tuned in to writing and enacting my life script in work and life. I found out I can erase, rewrite and imagine a more expansive script as I go day by day. I go where the energies are strong and vibrant; where I can laugh and be playful and where I feel no pressure or stress.
