    Starting Over: Faith, Resilience & Growth Ft. Inam Maso

    In this episode of Negotiation Secrets, I’m joined by Inam Maso for a conversation about navigating new environments, personal growth, resilience, faith, and the lessons that come from stepping outside what is familiar. Inam shares her experience of moving from South Africa to Nigeria and what it has taught her about adapting to new environments, meeting new people, and learning how to navigate situations without the familiarity and experience she once relied on. We also explore the role of faith during difficult seasons, why failure can be part of pushing beyond your comfort zone, and how challenging experiences can ultimately build confidence, maturity, and discernment. In this episode, you’ll learn: -Why unfamiliar environments can become powerful teachers -How experience changes the way you assess people and opportunities -Why discernment becomes especially important when everything is new -How moving to a new environment can build confidence -Why failure does not necessarily mean you are a failure -How faith can provide confidence during difficult transitions -Why growth often requires pushing beyond your comfort zone -How challenges can develop maturity and resilience -Why putting yourself out there can help you understand a new environment -How experience can make you more intentional about the doors you choose Sometimes, you don't know what the right door looks like until you've experienced enough to recognize the wrong ones. The process of growth is not always easy. Sometimes it requires leaving what you know, navigating uncertainty, and learning through experience. But those experiences can shape how you assess people, opportunities, and situations going forward. Whether you're navigating a career change, moving to a new environment, building relationships, or simply trying to grow into the next version of yourself, this conversation offers practical reflections on resilience, discernment, confidence, faith, and personal growth. 🔔 Subscribe to Negotiation Secrets for practical conversations and insights on negotiation, leadership, communication, influence, and business.
