Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Myself:
Lots of noise!!! Most of it was probably told to me unintentionally. I have always been quiet and perceived as shy. I didn't necessarily feel like I could be a leader, that I should follow the folks who were outgoing and appeared to be so confident.
How I responded:
To put it simply, by putting myself out there. I'm definitely an introvert. I learned to appreciate that about myself and to value the strengths that introverts have. We're very reflective. I spent a lot of time reflecting about what's important to me: what are my values, what are my passions? I learned as much as I could about my areas of interests and talked about them with people. Speaking about things I'm passionate about built confidence in me and showed me that I can bring value.
