Challenge Text: I'm going through a coaching exercise and I've been asked to reach out to people I respect and admire. If there's one trait of mine that you could take on board, what would that trait be? I would appreciate the feedback and of course I can return the favour!

Key Takeaways

1. What’s your superpower? Can you list two things that make you uniquely you? It could be your sense of humour, or ability to see potential in others!
2. Knowing how you process information can be useful. This can help you communicate more effectively with self and others. And in some cases, it can be a label that helps you make other connections with your other forms of thinking.
3. You can try to reframe your thinking around weakness and limitation by asking: How does this serve me? OR how does this create space for what I view as strengths to come to play?
4. You can also take note and collect data around a limitation you may want to change. And build habits OR systems that support the limitation. Give yourself the tools to not be beholden to the limitation.
5. Also note that not having judgement towards the limitation might make it easier to access the tools or systems you need. That’s where viewing it with neutrality will help.
6. When faced with a situation or limitation that produces emotion, we start assigning meaning to those feelings very quickly. Try taking time to physically feel those feelings, and once that happens, then assign meaning to them. Remember this is a practise.
7. Try out the exercise given, where you reach out to 50 people and ask them to provide you with 1 aspect of yourself, they’d take on board.
8. Use the feedback to understand the threads across areas that makes you, your superpower and then use it as fuel!
9. Instead of Self-love, or Self-loath, try "Self-Like". This feels like a more accessible and a softer place to enter than the other two extremes.
10. Being positive and embodying what you want to see in the world will wire your brain to start seeing more of that in your space.
11. Making sure that the wiring is working for us is also important, actual positivity vs. denial are two different spaces.
12. Sometimes we’re using language; a conscious construct to express things that we cannot articulate. Which is where art and symbology or even grunts and physical movement comes in to help us express what we feel.
13. Reframe the parts of you that feel as if they’re in conflict with each other as two sides of the same coin – all our experiences culminate to create a person that is us, who brings something unique to the table.
14. Remember that lasting change has to be slow and incremental. So any advice or ideas you take on from this episode can be implanted with ease and grace!
