Heather Monahan

I was blown away.

Okay, hang on a second.

So this is, we're stopping.

This is her post, but we're going to pause and I need to make a comment.

So it was our first meeting, thorough meeting going through what her issues were.

And after, you know, I always want people to empty their glass to me, right?

Anytime you sit with anyone, I want to find out what the challenge is, what the problem is, how I can help, how I can add value.

To do that, we have to ask really good questions in the beginning and really get that person to trust us and share with us what their thoughts, their perception is on the problem.

When I heard her describe her problems and she labeled it as an articulation issue, it was so clear to me she didn't have issues with articulating, right?

She was very clear and knew what she wanted to say, very smart, very successful.

It was so clear to me she didn't have the confidence that she needed.

You know, she was doubting herself.

That was what was so obvious to me.

Okay, let's get back to her post.

My response went something like, wait, what?

I've always been told I come across...

Very confident.

I'm known as a strong female.

During my time with her and reading her books, I've come to realize in certain settings, I was viewing myself as less than someone else.

Therefore, my confidence and voice never really showed up.
