This week I put my hand up to get some feedback on one of my roleplay calls from my mentor – in front of the group.
To say I was nervous was an understatement. I had recently resat the training after I had submitted the recording, so I was able to give myself a huge amount of feedback on what I had missed.
At the end of the mentoring session, one of the group members reached out to me privately on What’s App and gave me her feedback. She said “You are fearless”.
I was sharing this story with another colleague and confessed, that’s not how I would describe myself. In fact, in lots of ways, I have a lot of fear.
My colleague responded with, “You continually show up”. I couldn’t argue with that. I do show up and I put my hand up for coaching and feedback continuously. I don’t always like what I hear, however I do my best to take it on board and improve.
So I started thinking about the clients I have been coaching lately and how we celebrated those who showed up for their coaching and mentoring support call.
It was so inspiring to see the progress they are making towards their goals. They were all beaming with joy and pride as they shared their achievements and the action they are taking.

They showed up and they continue to show up.
One of the participants commented that he “always likes to show up because it’s a constant reminder of things he might otherwise forget. In other words, it keeps him in action towards his goals”.
The point of this week’s thought is to encourage you to continue show up.
No matter what that looks like for you, if you continue to show up and do the work towards achieving your goals, you are bound to be successful.
And I’m here, in your corner, cheering you on.
Let me know what you’re working on and what showing up means for you.
