#002 : Being yourself is a choice. Ambition versus intuition, courage and creating feedback cultures
I spoke to Dewi Kuipers this week, kicking off with some amazing advice her mum gave her as a young girl that’s shaped how she has shown up authentically through-out her life. Dewi is a HR manager and Gallup certified strengths coach who has broad leadership experience from her work at a variety of global fast growing companies such as OnLogic and West Coast Supply Group.
What you’ll hear about:
Everyone’s journey to authenticity is unique
You’re in charge. You never have to do something you don’t want to
Not following the crowd
Setting your boundaries and values
If people don’t like you, they’re not worth your friendship or attention
Authenticity makes you know yourself, so you instinctively know what you want or don’t want
The importance of intuition
Living to your core values and strengths
Having the courage to quit, when things aren’t working out
Building open and transparent cultures
Tips on how to recruit and build teams with a strong feedback culture. Grounded in openness and honesty
Understanding everyone’s needs and goals are different. So supporting authenticity within companies is not a one size fits all approach
Weekly Challenge : This week, make at least one decision listening to your gut instinct versus your head.
