The story behind the picture.
Looking at myself up there presenting I get a flashback to me 7 years ago when I had to put my life on hold.
An unexpected windstorm swept through my quiet suburb turning my world upside in an instant.
I had to resign from my job to focus on my family and the rebuild of our crushed home and hearts.
3 long years of wading through the process, I went to step back into my professional life, yet something didn't feel right.
I found myself in a career crisis.
I had all these questions- who am I now, what do I want to do, where do I begin.
I knew deep down I wanted something more.
But what was that something.
I began taking steps forward.
🚶♀️Rediscovering my unique career journey, unpacking my situation and taking stock of my life now.
🚶♀️Redesigning my career and painting a really clear picture of who I was now and what I wanted my career to be.
🚶♀️Rebuilding the parts of me I needed to get me there. My confidence, self-belief and self-worth.
I had to trust the process and myself as I kept taking steps forward.
I gained momentum, stayed open to opportunities and started saying yes to the things that scared me.
Before I knew it, I was up there, presenting to a room full of beautiful people about how to develop personally and professionally to bloom in your career.
This is what I get to do every day now.
I am so glad I put in the hard work, effort and had the courage to keep taking those steps forward.
What is your story?
Where in your life do you need the courage to take steps forward?
