People often say life only makes sense when you look at it backwards. But I believe if you slow down in the present you can have the future you desire.
Unfortunately in most cases this is done from a place of regret and missed opportunities. Often when we look at achievements we struggle to identify the enjoyment of the achievement we remember just the effort, struggle and failures along the way.
As a twin that survived infancy I have always treasured life, but like most when I lived my life at 100 miles an hour in the corporate world I became lost in the struggle and drive to become successful.
On the sporting field growing up I was a different individual I had belief in myself to be the best I could be, to fulfil my potential in every soccer game I played to be the best player on the pitch with the aim to score in every game I played.
I had superb self awareness and analytical ability on a football pitch, I was fast and took advantage of my gifts and both scored and assisted in making many goals. It got me noticed for a final youth Ireland team trial and a football trial with an a top english division 2 team the UK.
Knowing what motivates you identifying your passion, building your self - awareness and drive will help you work on your ability to step outside your comfort zone
My sporting career crossed my corporate career but confidence in myself was different in each sector. I never suffered Imposter Syndrome on the football field.
Suffering mental exhaustion working 84 hours a week in 2010 was the catalyst to change my life and find myself again.
I slowed down and regained the confidence in myself, identified my passion for my career and started mentoring younger people to improve their mindset and self awareness so they could fulfil their potential and enjoy the journey.
Having confidence to step outside your comfort zone may mean you experience set backs but you will learn from it and be more confident to move forward.
You can do it and a coach like me can help you believe in yourself if you are at the start of your career or going for that senior promotion.
Don’t wait to look backwards to make sense of your life, take action now I am here to help.
