After more than 100 coaching conversations, I came to realise we are our biggest barriers.
We are often our harshest critics, putting ourselves down before anybody else.
When I asked my coachees,
“What’s really standing in your way and the results you want?”
I often hear, “I CAN’T … because [reasons]’.
– A high potential manager avoided promotion because “I CAN’T lead”
– A team leader shunned tough conversations because “I CAN’T manage”
– A mid-career executive rejected an overseas role because ” I CAN’T adapt”
It is not their lack of knowledge or ability.
It is their BELIEF that they can’t.
This is why I am passionate about supporting others to own their ‘I CAN’.
‘I CAN’ is the mindset of truly believing in our ability to learn, adapt and grow.
It is a process that requires a critical mindset shift –
to get your harshest critic to start trusting.
That’s YOU.
This requires beyond shouting “I CAN’ in front of your bathroom mirror.
Your transformation from ‘I CAN’T’ to ‘I CAN’ requires you to
⏩ 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 – the desire to own what you said you wanted, badly.
⏩ 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 – the commitment to face the discomfort of growth.
⏩ 𝗧𝗿𝘆 – the courage to put words into action.
This is not just fancy Growth Mindset theory.
📌 It is THE mindset that turned me from a ‘no hope student’ to having a fulfilling career and now as a Coach.
And I’ve seen how an ‘I CAN’ mindset changed the results for my clients in their business and life.
The reason I am sharing this is because …
𝗩𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀,
If starting today,
your response to every challenge is ‘I CAN’ instead of ‘I CAN’T’.
– How would you feel?
– What would you achieve?
– What career and life opportunities do you see now?
This is not toxic positivity or blind optimism.
It is trusting yourself to create the results you want.
