HONESTY&COURAGE






In this video Roger Hamilton talks about the importance of TRUST during these troublesome times. He emphasises the key characteristic of a true leader/entrepreneur: TRUSTWORTHINESS.
The theme of the month is honesty and I was socked to see how relevant the topic suddenly become. Roger mentions that it is simply not enough to be a ‘good provider’, to bring in the money, what makes one a true inspiration is to DO GOOD.
How do you do good in the world and make money as well? The answer is simple: KNOW THYSELF!
The knowledge of who you are and what your inherent gifts are, the recognition of your true passions and your mission of your existence make it rather easy to do good in the world. What makes you a trustworthy leader/entrepreneur and what makes you stand out is not your product/service but your authenticity.
Great leaders easily bring people together under an umbrella of common vision but what keeps people together is the authentic, non-manipulative, open communication of that leader.
So, what is your character like? Who are you when nobody’s looking?
I am inviting you to join me to investigate what we can do for ourselves in order to emerge from these dark times more aligned with our Essence and dreams.
This short course (5+1 sessions) has two main purpose: one is that you gain deeper awareness of yourself – your thought and behavioural patterns that may or may not support you in living the life you would wish for yourself; the second aim is that you start discovering YOUR ESSENCE, the CORE of who you are and building on that, you can start looking at what YOUR PASSION, YOUR MISSION, YOUR TRUE VOCATION maybe.
In this podcast I talk about the importance of being honest with ourselves, see where we need to attend to our needs with more love and care.
AUDIO VERSION
I wish I could explain in simple terms what a difference it makes when we become HONEST with ourselves. Nobody else needs to know about the TRUTH of my fears and struggles but Me. I must rip off the veil of my illusions from my teary eyes and finally see MY-SELF yearning to be restored. She calls out for my healing attention. “See? This is where it hurts!”
Without HONESTY, I am just a puppet in the Circus. I pretend that I am all together, all is well, and I am busy with my successes. Yet, everyone can see my aching, open wounds … but me.
It takes COURAGE to allow the Truth to surface and all my illusions of who I pretend to be come to light. The reward, however, is plenty. My fears of being found out dissolves in my Love and Care for MYSELF. Who I am beyond the layers of deceit is way more wonderful and precious than the person I pretend to be.
The pain I experience as the result of separation from the ‘I am’ disappears in the recognition of the Essence of who I am.
From a Coaching point of view:
When you have the courage to face the truth and ask, “What is the ONE thing that is most awry, off the mark, or simply not working?”, it helps focus your mind on the real problem. It illuminates the truth about what is generating pain, robbing you of full enjoyment of life or keeping you from moving forward as you wish to do.
Asking “What is the ONE thing that is most confusing?” brings even greater clarity. It’s only when we shine a light on what we don’t understand, that we are able to seek the information that will allow us to act with wisdom.
…thoughts on how what I do have changed over the years, … why I use art and playful games instead of endless questions in my work … and how these courses can support you as they have supported me along the road of discovery and recovery
