  1. I think it's important to highlight both. I think it's more important to work on exploiting your strengths. And I would, so we do a lot of diagnostics. We use behavioral profiling and all of that kind of stuff. And all of that will bring up both. And I think it's important to really be aware of your areas of development of development. But ultimately, if I'm sat on the start line of the world championships and I'm focused on my weaknesses and all the things I need to avoid, my confidence is fragile. Chances of performing unrest slim. And so in that moment, I absolutely need to have on the tips of my fingers what my strengths are. And I need to know them and I need to be able to exploit them. And I think the more you work on those, the better

  2. One of your strengths is building relationships. Where's the evidence of that? Look at all these people what do you do about that?

  3. Well, so you work on identifying those strengths. What are those strengths? So we do this all the time. We work with clients on what are those strengths and where's the evidence of those strengths. And when they start to see the evidence of those strengths, well, you know, so I'm working with a client and so one of your strengths is being an authentic leader.

  4. That allowed you to achieve those successes because that's what isn't measurable against society and is transferable to other domains.

  5. A trophy or society Because you're compared to, oh, I got this award against all of these other people, and I won this trophy and I want past this grade. And it's always against somebody else and a society rather than looking at the intangible attributes.

  6. The non tangible stuff. Because if we go through life only assessing Success on the tangible stuff. Then our confidence, our self belief, actually, and they're two different things, will be quite fragile.

  7. You were gathering evidence, you were looking at your strengths, which is part of the puzzle. You may not have had the experiences and the evidence of the achievements and the certificates and all of that. But what's more valuable is what you had.

  8. Because quite often someone will go, oh, well, I achieved that, but it was because the weather was good on that day, or I achieved that because my team, my team did it really. It wasn't me. So it's about starting to unpick actually, what role did you play in that success and what are the attributes that allowed you your strengths, your attributes that allowed you to achieve that? And then we start to build up the bank of successes and the strengths and the attributes which we can transfer into any scenario.

  9. And so, when you think of something that you messed up, you're seeing yourself doing it, right? You're imagining it in your mind right here and now. And so the trick is to consciously recall the positive experience, the past successes. And if there's nothing in the bank exactly of that experience, there's chances are there's something similar There's always something similar. And so I would work with clients to identify what are all of the successes that you've had, not just in that specific scenario, but let's look at lots of different successes and then let's pick out what What are the attributes that allowed you to achieve those things?

    2021-10-21 · The Diary of a CEO · Moment 28 - How To Overcome Your Limiting Beliefs: Anna Hemmings · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  10. Absolutely. It perpetuates the doubt because you're reminding yourself of, oh, remember last time when you did it, you cocked it up and you messed up and you didn't cock it up.

    2021-10-21 · The Diary of a CEO · Moment 28 - How To Overcome Your Limiting Beliefs: Anna Hemmings · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  11. Yeah, exactly. And I think that is a big part of where we get our confidence from is like our past experiences. Yeah. So whenever we do something, we start to build a bank of memories. And when we're at the next situation that is similar. We can choose to draw on the bank of negative experiences where we cocked it up, or we can choose to draw on the bank of positive experiences where we succeeded and we did it really well. And the trick is, and you know, if we, and if we're not conscious about it, chances are we might pick the experience of when we failed. And then that's when we start to regurgitate all those thoughts and feelings of embarrassment and anxiety and nerves. And that doesn't help us.

  12. Right now, that I can't achieve this, or that one of my limiting beliefs was that I'm not very good at sales. You know, I had to, you know, I run a training consultancy after, you know, find clients. So, what's a more helpful belief and starting to unpick what would be a better way of seeing this? What are my strengths? And what would be a new belief that would serve me better?

    2021-10-21 · The Diary of a CEO · Moment 28 - How To Overcome Your Limiting Beliefs: Anna Hemmings · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  13. A huge question. How do we overcome our limiting beliefs? It's actually something that I work on a lot of coaching clients. Identifying beliefs that are so, you know, we would start probably with what are some of those limiting beliefs and start to unpick how are those beliefs? How are they serving? I wouldn't be interested in necessarily where they've come from. I would be interested in how they are serving us right now and how are they not serving us? Because sometimes we're believing them because they're serving us for a purpose. They're helping us in some way, but more often than not, those beliefs won't be serving us. So starting to unpick that, you know, almost like one of the pros and cons of having this belief here.
