I never considered myself as a thought-leader in my industry.
Even sharing this statement now, a little voice in the back of my head tries to warn me “Umm - arrogant much”?
But in the space of six months, I have learnt that there is a MASSIVE difference between:
• Arrogance,
• The fear that comes from a large culture of tall-poppy syndrome, and:
• True, genuine confidence in myself and in what I can offer.
I’ve had to stand back, observe, and allow myself to stop the self sabotage to dictate what is really good:
• That I am a confident leader in my craft of photography, and through my way of approaching business,
• That I do have an opinion worth sharing, because it is genuine, unique, and true to my values, and,
• That my worth is not defined by what others think about me, but is defined by who I am, and offering that vulnerability to others.
So, a massive thank you for impacting this chapter of my vocation everyone.
I can (with great thankfulness) say you have helped me understand myself better through your lives.
And, more than anything, I can say that I NOW KNOW I have something great to offer! Xx.
