I love to challenge a person's beliefs. Why? Because we must challenge these beliefs and adopt new ways of thinking and acting to change our lives.

I hope that you are not one of the many women who are spending a ton of time desperately looking for what's MISSING and what you don't know.  Or assuming that there has to be a whole bunch of STEPS to figure out and plan in advance. Or imagining that you can't have or be or do something until you have somehow proven that you are WORTHY and good enough and allowed. What I find true for many women:

• You spend a lot of time looking for what's missing and what you don't know, you're going to continue to find that things seem to be missing (from your knowledge / your life / from what's within reach for you) and that you don't know things! Hmm...sounds like a really empowering way to move forward (NOT!)
• You assume that the way life works is that there are a lot of steps to figure out and plan in advance, so there will ALWAYS be more steps to figure out and plan in advance. You'll never be done, never be there, continually *know* that there is endless toil ahead of you before you can possibly get ANYWHERE even NEAR to your there.
• Your mindset is that you can't have or be or do something until you've proven you are worthy and good enough and allowed then you will spend your entire LIFE seeking to prove that and finding that you always fall short. And to whom exactly, pray tell, are you trying to prove it anyway.

Let's apply a little reality and logic today so you can see just how reckless you're being with your LIFE by allowing yourself to entertain these treacherous beliefs.

You already have everything you need to serve. Each of your achievements is evidence. Yet focusing on what you haven’t yet created leaves you with a blindspot.

During my first few years in business, I discounted all my achievements because I had this set definition of what “success” meant. It was a monetary goal I hadn’t yet reached. I ignored my advanced education, that I was sought after by leaders of Fortune 500 companies and built a movement around my message.

I needed to uncover the evidence in order to bust through that borrowed definition of success and step into helping others have those same wins. It is astonishing how many women are owning stories of lack and needing to be much more FIRST.

What combination of skills, strengths, and experiences uniquely positions you?  Do you ever get so caught up in moving on to the next goal that you forget to celebrate your wins?

The bottom line is that what holds a lot of women back from reaching their people isn’t a lack of talent or training. It could simply be how you communicate about your work.

So my TEDx Talk would be on "owning your amazing" because I wish that all women would:

• Consciously stop thinking something is missing or that there's something she doesn't know
• Wash her hands of the idea that there are endless STEPS to be first found and then climbed, or she'll simply continue to feel the need to seek and climb 'em ... forever ... and ever ... an EVER!
• Kill beliefs that she is inherently not worthy or that she has to elevate to some sort of mysterious level of worthiness approved by God-only-knows-who (and probably not HIM, since he created you and created you as perfect and already with the blueprint of everything you need to succeed inside of you.

Yes, I want to talk about owning your amazing on the TEDx stage.

Imagine…18 short minutes to fame.

It’s definitely a venue that is important to consider if I want to share my message with the world.  Especially considering most Tedx Talks have hundreds of thousands of views. Many talks have millions of views.

Yes, I can see myself stepping onto center stage after condensing my message to this point of focus.

What topic would YOU speak on in a TEDx Talk?
