As we grow and mature, however, we learn that the world can be a very painful place. We learn that not everyone is on our side, and not all situations are going to go our way.Over time, then, we also learn to protect ourselves. We build walls around our hearts, we convince ourselves that we never really loved that person who hurt us anyway, and we become in denial. Even worse, we begin to believe and internalize negative thoughts and feelings about ourselves.For myself, - as a stay home mum taking care of the kids, i’m always show to be tough, independent, the handy person, mother who knows it all….. However I was negative, have lots of self limiting beliefs, negative thoughts and feelings about myself, emotions and even suicidal at times. After joining SRW, i was encouraged by Genecia to share my story about my fears, my mistakes , all of these exposed my vulnerability which I was very relevant to show. I have always wanted to show the best version of myself to others even when im hurting inside. But deep down, I was unhappy. As you truly learn to accept and love yourself, you will find it easier and easier to show true vulnerability. If your sense of self-worth is strong, then you will no longer need others to define it or prop it up for you.You will be able to walk away from those who treat you with disrespect and attract those who treat you well.However, getting from here to there is never easy. Whatever path you choose, finding freedom from the fear of vulnerability is a truly life-changing experience.Connect with me through Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin. If you would like to get your voice heard and be recognized as a leader online, I will like to invite you to schedule a call with me at www.askjoannelee.com/ask. (forward slash) spell out www_dot_ask_joa_nne_lee_dotcom forward slash askI look forward to seeing you in my next episode where i will be sharing with you more tips and ways to activate the leader in you. This fear of vulnerability often leads people to cause pain to others.Hence It is important to learn from past mistakes and to always strive for personal growth.However, it is equally important to learn to forgive your own mistakes. How often are you quick to forgive someone else's mistake, or even truly bad behavior, while continuing to beat yourself up for a mistake that you made?As you truly learn to accept and love yourself, you will find it easier and easier to show true vulnerability. If your sense of self-worth is strong, then you will no longer need others to define it or prop it up for you.

Hi I'm Joanne, welcome to the leader Activated. In this episode, I will be sharing with you on how to effectively work from home.I used to think like this. as a mom, I want to be with my children and seems like a dream come true y being able to stay and work from home. you don't have to commuteworking from home - some people like it while others do. seems easy to do it - especially for the guys but for the ladies especially mummies, it will be tough. Advantages of Working from HomeFlexible schedule. ...Custom environment. ...Cozy clothes. ...It's easier to make calls. ...Knock off some weekend to-do's. ...No office distractions. ...Zero commuting. ...Save money.Disadvantages of Working from HomeWillpower - to stop distractions. Difficulty sticking to a routine. The order you do things at work is almost never the order you do things at home. It can be tough to mirror your schedule and processes once outside the office.lots and lots of distractions: taking those little napsBoredom. no more colleagues to have pantry convos. Conclusion: Sometimes, The grass is always greener on the other side.When you’re at work, nothing sounds more amazing than a toasty day indoors with your favorite blanket. When you’re at home, you reminisce about making jokes with your co-workers and wonder if the coffee machine made good coffee that day.Key takeaways:-Be disciplined Make sure there are no distractions, I made myself a corner and get set up my working station, I function best when mimicking the office environment as much as possibleSet an alarm of 30 mins interval - this helps me to focus on the task on hand and allocate enough time to do the task, this means no checking of the phone, texts until the time is up. Stick as much as possible to the routine just like work.Either way, it’s important to choose the environment you’ll be most successful in. As you begin to work longer and build more experience, learning to focus in any surrounding is a valuable life skill, and will only help your professional career in the long run — especially as remote-first companies are gaining traction. If you’re still newer to the workforce, start by simply finding out where you do your best work and why.Some important things to consider are what environment you stay focused in the longest, how long it takes you to get back on track, and how you best communicate. If you’re self-motivated, adhere to a routine well, and enjoy minimal distractions, then working from home is the right choice for you.If you thrive on social interactions, feel inspired by seeing others working, and stay on track best if others see you, then working from the office is the way to go.Occasionally there are projects that require more quiet time or more collaboration and resource planning. It’s important to be able to mix it up, depending on where you think you’ll be most productive!I hope that by sharing the above tips and my stories will give you some inspirations on your working environment and how best to work. Connect with me through my facebook, linkedin and instagram handler @askoanneleeI look forward to seeing you in my next episode where I will be sharing with you more tips and tricks on how to activate the leader in you.

But that is where we are wrong.Remember that things in this world are doable. We just need to step up and take action. Many people have proven to do the impossible. The only recipe in achieving this is by taking action, having the courage and never to give up. Change your mindset and do it.Make impossible things possible. It is up to you to take the challenge. People prove it, thus you can do it.Key Takeaways:Do what is necessary and get it doneIt’s pointless to get yourself ready and in the end, you don’t actually like it.Do research about the things you want to try.It is always impossible unless others do it.Why wait when you can be the one to do it?Key Resources:Visit Me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/askjoanneleeConnect With Me on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/askjoanneleeVisit Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/askjoannelee/Tune in to My Podcast: https://shor.by/leaderactivatedshow

If we keep on offering our services for free it will lose it’s value and people who will really need it won’t have access anymore. Using your knowledge and skills to help and guide others towards success and making a living out of it is not  being greedy, it’s giving value to who you are and spending your time and resources with people who are really serious in being successful.Key Takeaways:People don’t value free things because they don’t have to sacrifice for itPeople pay for the things they see as beneficial for themIf people pay, it will be a win-win situationValue your time tooBe wise in sharing your knowledgeKey Resources:Visit Me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/askjoanneleeConnect With Me on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/askjoanneleeVisit Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/askjoannelee/Tune in to My Podcast: https://shor.by/leaderactivatedshow
