Alex Cuttiford on LinkedIn: #personalbranding #tellyourstory #coaching (2024)

I'm not enough.How many of us have had that thought at times throughout our life and career.Often, when we are in the middle of a challenging situation we can revert to a negative self-concept script in our thinking.Cultivating a positive self-concept is one of the most powerful tools for taking ownership of your life and career.A positive self-concept = Resilience How do you cultivate a positive self-concept?1. Doing the internal work, identifying what are your patterns you revert to and why.2. Getting good people around you, frinds, mentors, coaches, a counsellor that can challenge you and encourage you along the journey. Personal growth is only healthy when its driven from a place of self acceptance.You are enough, stick at it!Thankyou to the amazing mentors and friends that have challenged me and energised me this week.Duncan Burck Lisa Stockman Tegan Winters to name a few.

Introducing my co-host...Bailey (AKA Bae Bae or Mr. Bae)From time to time you might hear him in the background or sniffing at the door.For all the dog/ fur baby parents out there you get it right...Interupting meetings and podcast recordings.But they make life so much fun!This recording with Mackenzie Hollow won't be out for a few weeks, but once i've edited out all of Baileys noise I can't wait for it to drop...Ps. Bailey had knocked over the recyling bin and started throwing boxes all over the lounge room.

The most important thing I ever did for my career....was taking ownership of its direction.When you take responsibility of your career you increase your resilience and adaptability to handle the hurdles along the way. When you outsource your career to your employer you are at their mercy for progression. What mindset shifts have people made that changed your career?#mindset #ownership #responsibility #progression

Would you back up your life and move across the world for a new role?Thats what Andrea Prince did when she moved to South Africa.Through that experience her world view was drastic broadened as she realised so many people where not getting the same opportunities she had despite being wonderful and inteligent people.Getting out of our confort zone is vital to building our career and growing as people.#growth #comfortzone #careerprogression #travel

What I mean when I say self, others and actions = career goalsSelf = Taking ownershipTo build your career requires the inner work to be done in order to:# Cultivate a positive self concept# Embrace a growth mindset# Develope emotional inteligence# Define your valuesOthers = we can't do it aloneWe need people in our life in order to grow, we need:# An inner circle: 3-5 most trusted people, that tell us the truth when it hurts.# Teachers: Mentors, coaches and leaders that stretch us# Network: People that align with our career aspirations and values.# Community: People that know us, love us and want to see us succeed. Actions = Career enhancing decisionsThe best ideas in the world mean very little until you take action.# Strategy: Make a plan to get you to where yo want to go.# decisions: Once you have a plan you have to make a decision, right or wrong starting is the only way to know.Side note: Personal branding is the bridge from self to others. Its our ability to communicate who we are, what we value, who we belong to and who we are best positioned to serve.#selfdevelopment #networking #action #personalbranding #growthmindset
