Permission to Stop Toning Yourself Down | Laurens | Ep 958

"I've been modulating the intensity out of fear of overdoing it." – LaurensJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Laurens, an Agile management consultant and graphic facilitator, in a rare live throwback coaching conversation that goes somewhere most podcasts never reach. Laurens has spent his life being extraordinary for others and this episode exposes exactly why that's been costing him. The reframe that lands: being selfish isn't a betrayal of the people you serve. It's the prerequisite. From owning your intensity to giving yourself permission to need something, this episode is for the outlier who's been told they're too much and secretly knows they've been holding back. Watch what happens when you stop modulating.Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference.
