Dear Wonderful Woman,

How are you doing?

I'm well.

Why is so hard to change, to go after what you truly want and desire in your career?

Your version of career success is unique and personal to you.

Daring to believe that it is possible and that people like you can have exactly what you desire takes courage.

And beyond that it also takes unpacking some of the stories that we were raised to believe about our opportunities, the challenges we may face and what's acceptable in your community.

At the end of the day you only have one life to live.

So deciding to create what you want in your career confidently is something that you must do.

When you decide to make a commitment to being clear and unequivocal about what you want and why.

Fear is something that will definitely come up and with that you must acknowledge it but not let it drive your career journey, to a place where you're only playing small.

To be your own cheerleader is also about being resilient.

It's also about building a resilient growth mindset, being courageous, dealing with the ick, embracing failure as part of the journey and surrounding yourself with people and communities that are rooting for you.

Today I want you to ask yourself, have I truly given myself permission too:

1 Own my biggest career dreams

2 To create my own personal version of career success

3 Commit to backing myself, being my own cheerleader and giving the world my greatest impact

Your authentic, unique voice, experience, skills and story matter.

Let us hear your voice, share in your wins and root for you as you journey to achieving your career dreams. 😍🙌🏾🔥

Hit reply and let me know what do you need to give yourself permission to do in your career right now to finish 2023 strong?

Warm Regards,

Ekua
