Truth & Dare
When you start something – a business, a project, a new job – it’s easy to listen to the noise. ‘I can’t do this’. ‘That’s not right’. ‘I need someone to help me’. ‘Are you sure you want to do that..?’ ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’. ‘It’s a terrible time to do this’. ‘I should play it safe’…
From the work we do to the career-defining decisions we make, these voices have the power to delay, derail and destroy opportunities.
So why do we listen to them? This is a story of the lies we’re told, the lies we tell ourselves – and how the truth makes daring possible.
