 Are you actually surprised at how much you’ve
achieved and how far you’ve come?
 Are you much harder on yourself than you would ever
be to a friend?
 Do you tend to not want to outshine others or cringe
when someone else “self-promotes”?
 Do you find yourself dwelling on perceived “failures”
more than you celebrate your successes?
 Do you think your work should speak for itself and
prefer not to have to talk about your achievements?

Own Your Greatness
There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a
quickening that is translated through you into
action, and because there is only one of you in all
of time, this expression is unique. And if you block
it, it will never exist through any other medium and
it will be lost.
– Martha Graham

It’s not what you know or who you know,
it’s who knows what you know.

attention to yourself but as ways to serve others
• When you take stock of the value you provide,
you’ll feel comfortable sharing accomplishments
• You are the custodian of your gifts and they are
meant to be shared
