16: Discovering your inner potential

TRANSCRIPT FOR EP16
Welcome to Woman Leadership show. I'm Janet and in this episode, I will be sharing with you in discovering your inner potential. 

I did not expect I would be one day conducting training and have spoken in front of 1000 people in a townhall. 

Doing all the personality assessments will allow us to have a sense of are we extrovert, introvert, whether we are more visual person, auditory person, our strengths in communicating with others and our preferences . 

Getting feedback from others coaching, mentors at work, I now have mentor how to start a business. 

What we like to do from school time such as presenting on stage, performance, speaking, arts, cooking etc. This can be trained as well but if one likes to do it, one will do the extra mile to do it and become expert at it. 

We all try different things and through trial and error to realize what we are good at doing. For example, at one point I thought I would be tired of training but I realized I still like to train but more senior level and regional level. I was only bored and tired of training the same level and wanted challenges but I still love to train and facilitate programs. I get excited when there is opportunity to speak and share with wider audience and they can benefit and inspired to take action. 

I wished I could try more adventurous activities when I was much younger such as travel in backpack, attend as many external networking sessions, meet new people every week, read a book every week and learn new skill every year. What kept me from doing this was there is always tomorrow, procrastination, other commitments, work, laziness and just wanted to watch drama series. 

Now, though my priorities have changed to be more grounded and focus on family and faith, I would give myself space to set a goal to do something new and different. For example, I have started podcast which I heard about it but never thought of doing one. It is still related to what I enjoy doing sharing and speaking with others and now on a global platforms. 

I encourage you to try as many new things, get a coach or a mentor someone you can trust to hold you accountable for your progress and work towards your goal to unless your potential and leader within. 

I hope that through my sharing, it draws inspiration and personal reflection for you. I believe every woman can be a leader in your own way. I look forward to seeing you in my next episode where I will be sharing with you tips and ways to realize your full potential as a leader on Woman Leadership.
