Self-Worth
As we progress in our careers, it’s vital to recognise a fundamental truth…
"You don’t soar to the level of your hopes and dreams, you stay stuck at the level of your self-worth." - Jamie Kern Lima
In business, especially where financial empowerment is crucial, the appreciation and cultivation of our self-worth is not just beneficial, it’s essential.
Here’s why:
‣ Decision-Making: Our self-worth influences every decision we make, from the risks we're willing to take to the commitments we engage in.
‣ Negotiations: How we perceive our worth affects our negotiations. Are you undervaluing your services, or are you pricing them to reflect the true value you deliver?
‣ Resilience: Strong self-worth allows us to face challenges head-on, learn from them, and continue to grow professionally.
‣ Stewardship in Leadership: By fostering a culture that recognises and enhances the self-worth of every team member, we embody the true spirit of stewardship, ensuring well-being and ethical practices that benefit all.
It's time well spent reflecting on how we value ourselves and our contributions.
Are you truly recognising your worth?
And my dig deeper question to you is, how might this recognition, or lack thereof, affect your professional journey?
"Worthy" by Jamie Kern Lima is a must-read.
