In transitions we are welcoming instability for a time but through that we are re-examining our assumptions upon we define our self concept 4) If we choose transition, we invert the mountain – we expand as we go up, and it is repeated, regardless of the circumstances. We only have to make the choice of choosing the next trailhead. 5) Emotions can serve as an oracle, not an obstacle to our success 6) HAIL™ is a tool to help reframe our emotions – so our emotions don't have such power over us on a daily basis. It diffuses an emotions power over us. 7) Storytelling is a way to begin to think about what our truth is and to connect in a current way with our voice or our truth. 8) You need people around you who can create a safe environment and ask – why not? They are essential for your growth. 9) Never have we ever need everyone's voice as we do now. Everyone's voice matters. Engaging people to use their voices is essential right now. _________________________Take the Ikigai Clarity Assessment and find out which of your four Ikigai dimensions may be out of alignment.Schedule a Clarity and Next Chapter Call with KavitaNew episodes every Monday and Thursday.This podcast explores career and life transitions, helping women find clarity, confidence, and purpose through Ikigai and self-discovery.
