Knowing who you are is who you are ....

Knowing who you are is who you are….

 In 2010, I was approached by a local community leader and long time family friend about my interest in participating in a leadership enhancement program hosted by our local university. I was completely in the dark as to any knowledgeable reference to his offering. I had not heard of the program and I knew of no one that had gone through the program. I begin to search for the answers I needed to support my decision. As I began to question known leaders in the community, I was not able to get a clear and define understanding of the journey I was about to embark upon.

 So what did I do…..I was accepted and engaged in the program. I knew that I personally felt that there was a need in the quality of my leadership offerings to others. At the point of the time line in my life and the activities that were birthing in my business endeavors I knew the clock was ticking. The program was one of the most rewarding interruptions I have experienced in my life, second only to God.
 One of the most impacting segments for me was the introduction of myself to myself.
 You see we all move through life gathering and affixing to “stuff, people and things” which inadvertly converts us to who we become.
 I later came to find out that a lot of who I thought I was I wasn’t, but I also was able to find out who I really am and that is the factor that is reality.
 And he is a pretty cool guy…..I like him, I know who he is, and It is easier for me to make him better. 

Allow me to share this excerpt from a doctor that spoke to one of the sessions we were exposed to…..
Maybe it will make more sense to you . Robert Kegan’s Theory of Adult Development Presented by~ Dr. J Barbuto
 
 In summary , I share this information because in order to move through life in total optimization of your efforts and endeavors, whether it is of you or service to others KNOW WHO YOU ARE. And if you don’t know who you are PAUSE and find YOURSELF.
 If you do so you can serve God more effectively, You can serve YOU more effectively, and You can be of more value to OTHERS effectively.
 Much Success
