In this episode, Cindy Esliger explores how we can dare to be more at work and avoid slipping into the conformity we think is expected. We’re conditioned to believe we need to keep our heads down, fit in, and work longer and harder than anyone else in order to succeed. But we were hired because of something unique that we brought to the company. Cindy dives into how we can reclaim the parts of ourselves that we’ve been hiding for a more authentic and rewarding work experience. Constant hustle and overachieving without acknowledgement doesn’t always lead to feeling more fulfilled. Especially not if we’re stifling our creativity and actual personality in order to do so. Instead of blending in so we appear more palatable, Cindy encourages us to start daring to be more with small steps. Perhaps we say what we’re actually thinking or the ideas we truly have in a meeting. Perhaps we use our natural humor to liven things up when people’s attention is waning. Start small. And keep going.Work can still feel energizing and challenging the way it did in the beginning if we don’t allow ourselves to be dulled by performative norms and the exhausting pressure to be proper and polished at all costs. We do it to belong, but Cindy suggests that belonging isn’t blending in. Belonging is about being seen as who we are and still being accepted. She shares advice on reframing how we show up at work and offers small steps we can take to facilitate our journey towards daring to be more.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Daring to be More at WorkAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
