"The Yes-No Spiral can be a chaotic, painful, out of control, overlapping, up, down, all wacky spiral. That's what we want to say no to. Or it can be a life-affirming, curiosity-driven, uneven spiral of growth and change. I recommend the latter" - Nicole Trick Steinbach
Many of us have experienced the process of identifying our "no's" and "yeses" only to discover a significant gap between the two. It can be disheartening and confusing, so this episode walks you through how you can close the gap through bravery.
It takes bravery to dive into the unknown and create a life and career that truly fulfills you. The greater the gaps, the more we grow and develop our skills of courage and resilience.
I share a client example of how you can embrace the Yes-No Spiral, build the skill of bravery, and grow your career with the Build Your Brave framework.
Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all template for career success. While there are best practices and helpful resources, it's crucial to make the journey your own and tailor your actions to suit your unique path. This is where personalized coaching or collaborating with others can be invaluable.
