    138. Are You Maximizing Your Potential?

    138. Are You Maximizing Your Potential? I’ve been thinking a lot about potential lately. I was digging deeper into the question, what are you giving up by not being visible? There are many answers to that question, but here are a few examples: You don’t get the opportunities that you deserve. You are unable to maximize your potential and achieve the career success you want. You don’t have what you want in your personal life either if it is driven by what your professional life could give to you. You want to do more but aren’t sure how to do something to help yourself. What if you asked yourself the question: did I maximize my potential this week? Would your answer change your actions for the next week? In this episode: Why is maximizing your potential important? What if your manager doesn’t see your potential? How to navigate your own career and make your own choices. Do you recognize your own potential? How to lead your team and maximize their potential. Don’t waste your potential and live with regret. The Visibility Factor Podcast is brought to you in part by the Amplify You Program.

    137. Embrace Your Imperfections

    137. Embrace Your Imperfections Today’s episode is focused on how to embrace your imperfections. We have all grown up with programming and messages from our families, teachers, media, society, culture, etc. that tell us what we are “supposed” to do in our lives. Some of these messages may include: get good grades, go to a good school, get a good job, get married, have children, save for retirement, follow the rules, don't talk back, respect your elders, etc. You get the gist of the messages that we have all heard and internalized over many years. These messages, also known as stories, may instill some sort of ideal picture into your head that you have to be perfect and act in a perfect way. Why would someone strive to be perfect? Usually, it is viewed as a way to gain the approval of others. In this episode: Brene Brown’s views on perfectionism. My own experience of trying to be all things to all people, but myself. Are you seeking too much external validation? Choosing imperfection and being unique instead. Common misconceptions of perfectionism. Looking at failure in a positive way instead of only looking at a negative you want to avoid. Resources Mentioned in the Episode: “The Common Misconceptions of Perfectionism” by Amanda Johnson  "Perfectionism is Increasing and That’s Not Good News" by Thomas Curran and Andrew Hill The Visibility Factor Podcast: Episode 56 - Internal vs External Validation The Visibility Factor Podcast is brought to you in part by the Amplify You Program. Do you have limiting beliefs that are holding you back from the success that you want for you career and your life?
