When we don’t know, deny or doubt our value ...

... we prevent people from experiencing our thoughts, ideas and purpose.

Many of us spend so much time - err, waste so much time - in cycles of doubt and denial of our own ingenuity.

⏹ When we say ‘I’m not creative’, we're in denial and doubt of our value.

⏹ When we say ‘It’s not very good’, that's denial and doubt too.

⏹ And when we dismiss an idea before we’ve even spoken it or shared it, that's another negative hit to our value.

So let's zip it. Ssshhh!

In workshops and sessions with teams, I’m often saddened at the number of people who openly dismiss their own work and ideas ... usually just before they’re about to present them! 'This isn't very good', or 'This is a crappy idea' - hey, no more of this stuff, ok?

Hold off on verbally denying the value in your thinking or ideas.

If you think your stuff is worth less, who’s likely to think it’s worth more?
