Playing Small...Busting My Own Limited Thinking

The word "underestimate" has been coming up for me lately. As a coach, I often feel that my clients underestimate their contributions to the world.

Yesterday, the coach became the student. I have been working on "birthing" a beautiful collaborative book entitled "Elevate Your Voice".This is a project that I have worked on for literally 9 months with an exceptional group of 13 other women.

What I learned yesterday was that I had a limiting belief about how "big" this book could be. I had diminished my own light and the light of others. I had framed this book as something I had completed. Something I could check off a box for...but yesterday blew away my expectations.

I was reminded that it can be easy to play small and set our expectations low. But the magic comes in the #BHAG's. And, I also know now that it can be incredibly fun and empowering to shoot for the stars...

This book will make a difference in the lives of others. It wasn't just something to complete but truly a way to elevate my voice and that of other women so that we can serve others.

I am overwhelmed with pride today...
