I'm diving deeper into something I call "deliberate insecurity" - a strategy I practice in my executive leadership practice.
It might sound counterintuitive, but I truly believe it's the key to thriving in today's world of constant change and AI buzz. Forget trying to avoid feeling insecure – I'm talking about intentionally stepping into those uncomfortable zones to build real mental muscle and emotional resilience.
Here's a summary of what I talk about:
- What Exactly is Deliberate Insecurity? I'll break down what it means to intentionally embrace uncertainty and even potential failures, because that's where the real growth happens.
- Navigating the Future of Work: We'll tackle the anxieties around AI and automation head-on and focus on what YOU can do to develop the skills you need to stay relevant and fulfilled.
- Building Your Emotional Capital: It's all about pushing your boundaries, facing challenges, and building that "emotional capital" that will serve you well in any situation.
- Actionable Steps You Can Take Now: I'm not just talking theory. I'll give you practical things you can start doing today, like pursuing challenging projects, reaching out to new people, and sharing what you're learning.
- Being Vulnerable and Real: I encourage you to be open about your journey, both the wins and the struggles. That's how we connect and learn from each other.
- Taking Risks and Making an Impact: Let's talk about taking calculated risks, contributing to your organization, and finding mentors who can guide you on your path.
