Practicing The Person You Want To Be: How Taking On Personal Challenges Makes Me A Better CEO
from The Inner Game Of Entrepreneurship With Cera Byer · host Cera Byer
This episode is about practice — the quiet, daily, unglamorous kind that shapes who you are when it’s time to lead. Every day, whether you realize it or not, you’re rehearsing the identity you bring into your business. Reliability. Avoidance. Follow-through. Flakiness. Devotion. Doubt. All of it is what you're practicing. So if you've been practicing being the kind of person who doesn't follow through, or the kind of person who plays small, you can start practicing something else. In this episode I share how taking on personal challenges became the place where I practiced being someone I could trust — long before it showed up in my company. I give myself challenges so that I can practice showing up again and again, especially when it's inconvenient, uncomfortable, or humbling. This is the story of how I went from thinking of myself as someone who didn’t finish things to becoming a leader who knows she’ll do what she says she’ll do. If you’ve ever wondered how to build the kind of self-trust and internal reliability that scaling actually requires, this episode gives you a real, lived look at what that process has been for me — and how the way you practice in your life becomes the way you lead in your business. You're invited to join me in my next challenge — dancing every day in 2026.
