You have to make this decision for yourself.
All of us have mindset habits. Some good. Some bad.
Just like all of our habits, we decide which mindset habits to nurture and invest in.
Your skills and technical knowledge are just the tip of the iceberg. You won’t be truly valuable and irreplaceable until you get your Attitude and Self-Image in the right place.
Sounds hokey? Let’s look at the science:
There is a network of neurons in your brainstem, the Reticular Activating System (RAS), that acts as the primary gatekeeper of focus.
The RAS controls your wakefulness and regulates your selective attention. While your unconscious brain can process over 11 million data points per second, your conscious brain is limited to processing only 40 of those 11 million signals. Your RAS determines which 40 data points to focus on.
Your self-image is programming your RAS to look for proof of who you think you are. Your brain is very powerful, it will find whatever it is you’re looking for.
Having a weak self-image and the wrong attitude WILL CAP your potential.
Once you decide who you are in your career and what your potential is, you find every reason to reach that self-image.
Get your attitude and self-image right, and your competency will shine.
You don’t have to do this alone. Partner with an Executive Coach to build the right attitude and self-image.
