Ever sat in a meeting, heart pounding, wondering, “What’ll they think of what I think?” You’re not alone. We filter ourselves to fit—quiet and kind, strong and sparse, or loud and fun. It’s your brand, built to belong. But here’s the sting: it’s exhausting, and it’s leaving half of you behind. From Bondi’s wild waves to the boardroom’s sharp edges, I’m calling it—time to ditch the mask and speak raw.
In my latest vodcast, I unpack how that polished brand can cage your real power—and how to break free. Here’s the juice:
- The Brand Trap: You mold your voice to the room—soft, stern, or showy. It works ‘til it doesn’t, draining you without a single push-up.
- The Cost: Swallow your truth, and it festers—boredom, frustration, a dying spark. Generic “be nice” fixes? Rubbish.
- Flip It: Be Do Have—start inspired, not waiting for permission. Let your inner voice roar over the noise.
- Speak Raw: Blurts from the heart win—if your intent’s gold. “We’re wasting time—because I want us less stressed, more cashed-up.”
- Own the Pushback: Someone’ll balk. Negotiate, don’t shrink—cowering’s for brands, not you.
- Home vs. Work: Bottle it at home for peace, sure—but don’t judge yourself. Balance it with an emotional shower.
This isn’t about chaos—it’s about power. Stop begging the room to spark you. Be the spark. Watch the vodcast below, then test it: one meeting, one raw truth, one future-focused intent. From Bondi to your next big win, this is how you own it.
Have a ripper day,
Chris
