Here are 2 secrets to trusting yourself as a leader or founder. Before I share them, please know there are many ways to trust yourself, yet these 2 ways have a deep unlock, as I like to describe, for you as a leader to understand your relationship with trust.
1. You have a relationship with trust:
Yes, you have a relationship with trust. To be in relationship with someone or something means you are presently conscious and aware of it and are currently experiencing it, as well as your overall experience and analysis or evaluation of it. In other words, how you are relating to it.
The it here is trust.
Trust isn’t something you build, lose, destroy, or earn. It’s a firm belief in your own reliability, truth, ability, or strength. Think of trust as a relationship you have with yourself, shaped by your willingness to trust yourself at any moment. Trust is easy to choose when you are grounded in your self-worth.
Your relationship with trust is based on your willingness to choose to trust, or not to trust, at any given moment, and is based on the quality of your relationship with trust. This is the reason trust is essential when it comes to leadership.
2. How You Do One Thing is How You Do Everything:
I use this paradigm in my coaching practice and I think most of you know it. Your approach to trust in one area of your life reflects how you handle it everywhere. If you trust yourself in one aspect of your work or life, you have the ability and sovereignty to trust yourself universally. This means trust isn’t a foreign concept to you; you already practice it in various areas of your life.
These insights might seem abstract, yet they unlock significant clarity for leaders and founders. Many of my clients have overcome feelings of insecurity and feeling like an imposter by understanding these secrets, leading to massive clarity and relief that they’ve cracked the code to trusting themselves.
I have a short, complimentary exercise to practice and unpack both of these secrets so you can begin cracking your code to trusting yourself. If you’d like to receive the exercise let me know in the comments, send me a message, or, request via email leadership@evolveeq.com
