Be true to yourself

“It’s much easier to be fired for being illogical/unconventional and right than being unimaginative and wrong”.

This is also true in other contexts of any kind of group constellations. 

Conformity is religion. Dogma. Deeply rooted in the worlds belief system. 

Except when you read job ads’.

You never see an ad for a job that says; ” We are looking for a follower, somebody who does not ask questions of any kind, someone who does not think for themselves, someone who does not have their own opinions, someone who has common sense, someone we can use and abuse as we see fit, someone who is exactly what we already have in our staff, someone who does not stand out in any way.

Isn’t that interesting? Pick a job ad, any job ad and I promise you that you will read the exact opposite of what I wrote here above.

So far all is well.

BUT,

And yes, then there is a big BUT. Huge. 

What is then the reality out there in the real world, far away from the job ads’….? 

All the opposites of what I wrote above, how are they working out, fitting in, at the work places…? Well received? Encouraged?

Not so much, huh…

Those who have been following my work for a while, those who know me, more or less, have read or heard my words over and over again:

Be. True. To. Yourself.

There is nothing more important than this.

Everything you see from me is about this.

Everything I teach is about this.

Every client I work with gets to hear this. Through both ears. Repeatedly.

The strategies for this, to be true to yourself, are endless.

I have an infinite toolbox of them that I am giving out in every client session I am in.

Come get some!

Be. True. To. You.
