Frontier Airlines’ Post

I have not clinically died, nor have I been run over by a snowplow, but this guy has! I encourage you all to watch until the end, because the message is not "everyone needs to run super fast/far" nor is the message "you need to push yourself to the absolute limit". Brooks has taken the stance that everyone has that moment where you no longer are the best, or the top, or as good as you'd like to be, AND THATS OK, as long as you're taking the next step towards wherever you want to get to, that's a win. I recently took my annual Physical Fitness Test for the Marines, one of two tests every Marine is required to complete (and pass) annually. I was (and still am) very disappointed with my performance but after feeling sorry for myself for a few hours (yes hours), I reminded myself that I could do something about it, and set to building my plan to achieve my goal score next time. What are your goals, do you have a plan to get there? #resilience #goals #Marines #planning

🌟 Embracing Authenticity in the Professional Journey, love America ferreras talk. In a world that often celebrates conformity, I've come to realize the true power lies in embracing our authentic selves. The Authentic Self: It's not just a buzzword—it's a journey. Embracing your authentic self means acknowledging your unique strengths, quirks, and the experiences that shape you. 💼 Professional Authenticity: In the professional realm, authenticity is not a liability, it's your biggest asset. It's about bringing your whole self to the table, contributing with passion, and inspiring genuine connections. 🤝 Connecting Beyond Titles: Titles and roles are important, but they don't define us entirely. Let's connect beyond the professional veneer. Share your passions, your journey, and let's build real, meaningful connections. 🌐 Diversity of Authenticity: Each one of us is a mosaic of experiences. Let's celebrate the diversity of authenticity—different backgrounds, perspectives, and journeys. It's what makes our professional tapestry rich and vibrant. 👥 Building Authentic Networks: Let's not just network; let's build authentic connections. Share your stories, listen to others, and create a space where professional relationships go beyond transactions. 🚀 The Power of Vulnerability: Being authentic requires vulnerability. It's about admitting not just our successes, but our challenges too. Let's create a culture where sharing and supporting each other's journeys is not just encouraged, but celebrated. 📣 Your Turn: What does authenticity mean to you in your professional journey? How do you bring your true self into your work? Share your thoughts and let's inspire each other to embrace authenticity in the professional realm! 💬 #Authenticity #ProfessionalJourney #EmbraceYourself #RealConnections

So powerful.. well said.

So, um, Bonnie Therese and I did a thing today…. It was so much fun to bring concepts of change leadership to the CEO Retreat participants of Associations North Yes, there are many leadership lessons from Ted Lasso. #changeleadership #cleardirection #leadbyexample #empowerothers #communicationiskey #reflectandadapt

The clarity and ability to reach the pure essence of the issue is brilliant. A Must listen.

Their intentions are clear

“Change will come if each of us have the courage to question our own fundamental values and beliefs” It is important to not resist who you are in order to “fit” what the system believes about you! If people are uncomfortable because you don’t “fit” what they believe who you “should” be (due to racial, gender and other biases & judgements), help them get comfortable being uncomfortable around you :) To me, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging means I care about your “mind” and your “heart” and nothing else! #DEI&B #identity

Having identity crisis? You need to listen to this. We live in a world where we're given a certain standard to achieve. In order for us to be accepted by the society, we have to follow rules, norms, and social expectations. Being our authentic self is the least society expect us to be. Why? Because society love standards. Something they can understand. Something they don't need to guess. Something they can measure and put numbers on. Identity crisis happen to those who know they're not being true to themselves and it's suffocating them for living as someone else but also at the same time too scared to be authentic because they're afraid of rejection and being isolated. I, for example, is exactly someone like that. I'm too afraid to embrace who I really am because I know how the people around me would think of me if I have show them my true self. I try to achieve every standards that people expect from me. I thought it can make them acknowledge me. I've been doing it for almost all my life. Sad thing? I realize in the end, I will never be enough for them. I will never be able to achieve the standard given to me because it's just not who I am. Instead, I'm losing myself trying to get acknowledgement that I will never get, and I live a miserable life, away from my authentic self. So, I decided to break the cycle and tell myself, "you know what? enough is enough. If people don't care about how much effort you put in order to make them acknowledge you, then why should you kill yourself for them?". From then on, I make peace with my authentic self and try to get that person back to my life to make my life less miserable than it already is. Do you have such experience? Share with me on comment.
