Honestly, it’s because I’ve been where you’re heading. I vividly remember the early days in my HR career when my deep introversion cost me not 1, 2 or 3 but 4 job opportunities that I really wanted. I was a great performer, but I didn’t show up with the level of passion and gravitas that some of my peers did and as a result, I would be ignored and overlooked for great opportunities. I wasn’t visible enough to be seen as valuable and I had not developed my leadership voice in a way that would allow me to be heard, respected and chosen.
After being fed up with seeing less qualified and less skilled people be chosen over me, I realized that I was neglecting to focus my efforts in the three areas that mattered most: Vision, Voice & Visibility. I also had a very interesting revelation that while you absolutely must always deliver excellence, what gets you chosen over your peers is being masterful at packaging, positioning and delivering what you do in a way that disrupts patterns and creates a burning desire for change.
I was promoted from HR Assistant to HR Generalist 6 years later I earned my seat at the Executive table.

Mental fitness is necessary to manage negative thought habits and patterns that live deep in your unconscious and derail your performance and overall happiness. This is critically important because the way you think influences the way you lead. Since the brain is the control center of our human experience, when you commit to mastering your mind, you’ll get in the driver’s seat of flipping the script on limiting beliefs rather than allowing negative thoughts to hijack your confidence, performance, and ability to lead well.
