When we share our story, it empowers others who are on the journey. Whether it be faith, family, or career, there is someone questioning their next idea or through in how to proceed. This is why I seek opportunities to present at conferences. It gives me a chance to encourage others along the journey of life. When we walk the path alone, it is easy to let imposter syndrome creep in -- that voice that is telling you "you're not good enough," or "you're not worthy enough," or "what if someone figures out that you're not as smart as you think you are?" When we share our story and listen to others' journeys along the way, we find community. We find opportunities to connect in this work that can sometimes feel lonely.
What is your story? I challenge you to share it with a colleague over coffee or a group aspiring to do the work you do. You'll be amazed at what you'll learn about yourself in the process.
