COLLECT YOUR INSIGHTS
In my Authentically You program many (many!) entrepreneurs went through the assignments and told us they changed how they perceived themselves forever.
Here are they as your reminder. You can do it now, or weave them through ‘The Real You Experience”.
Treat the extra assignments as a bonus. You can do it, but you don’t have to!
DAY 1
Find 10 objects
Find 10 or more objects that are deeply meaningful to you but not necessarily to other people and create a tableau with it.
2. Make it beautiful (for yourself – or for your cat or dog 🙂
3. Photograph your tableau and share it with the group.
This is IMPORTANT there’s no ugly, no imperfect, it’s NEVER not good enough.
Don’t ever start with an apology. Be proud of what’s in front of you.
4. Give other women feedback:”When I look at your tableau I feel….”Use your curiosity, love, color, joy, etc. There’s a unique kind of energy in those objects and in the photograph, try to ‘feel’ into it.
When 2 (or more) people reacted to your tableau, tell a little bit about your objects.
5. Why are you doing this assignment?Because this Challenge is all about the realization that your audience will react to HOW you make them feel.Your presence will attract your Soul Client. Showing up matters!
Everything matters, your words, your images and your energy
DAY 2
Make a selfie from Head to Toe
This requires courage. And I hope – and encourage you!! – to do this. I will make one too. And remember what happens in the group stays in the group.
How to make a Selfie?
Option 1 get the free app GoCam by Crunchfish. It lets you make a selfie from a distance with hand gestures.
Option 2 use a selfie stick Or a tripod if you have one.
Option 3 Photograph yourself in front of a mirror.
Option 4 Ask someone to make a head to toe shot of you.
Got another option?
Share it with the group.
Make sure we can see you (turn on the lights! baby!)
IMPORTANT
This is not about posture, clothes, body weight, beautiful surroundings etc. This is an exercise in showing up and receiving POSITIVE feedback on how you make other people FEEL.
Try to go far far beyond Likes and Dislikes. Go straight for that heart to heart. See and acknowledge the light, courage, love, distinctiveness in each other and feel the connection!
If you need encouragement reach out and tag me in the Facebook group.
DAY 3
The three words assignment
1. Find three words you feel describe you and find out how the world sees you.
You’ve read and written a lot of words the past two days. Today you write three words that you feel describe you.
Don’t overthink it. It’s a start.
If you think it’s a corny word, let it be corny – who cares – this is just your word for now.
Do you feel limited by just ‘ONE word’?
Find an expression that describes a feeling or description.2
2. Find 6 people to give you their 3 words for you
Look for differences and words that have a relationship or connection with each other and for synonyms.
When someone says you are innovative and other people say you are: fresh, unconventional, unorthodox, off-centre, unusual, unfamiliar, unprecedented, avant-garde, experimental, inventive, it’s safe to assume that peoples perception of you is that you are truly an innovative person. And that word should definitely go on you Authentically You Sheet.
…
MIND YOU
Be prepared for surprises. My son’s three words for me are: co-operative, lovingly, amazing (aaaaw)
This are three words I would never come up with myself. But if 5 people would tell me how well I fit their team, than that’s how the world sees me.
.3. Who to ask?
Find different people who relate to you in different ways.
A partner, a dear friend, children, family members, colleagues, neighbours, people in our group. Reach out today.
4. Share your 3 words in the group!
DAY 4
How ‘The World sees you’ when they look at your social media.
1. Find a buddy (or buddies) in the group and befriend her so she gets access to your personal Facebook account. And vice versa. Or share your Instagram account.
You don’t have to befriend someone for that, but tell you’re about to study it anyway.
Now, look, feel, be open en curious. Ask yourself: “Who is this person? What are her hobbies, what does she care about. Is she very political, is there art, who’s her family?“And give each other feedback.”What I feel when I look at your feed is:….. “”What I see when I look at your feed is:….. ”
Now remember to look at the grand total of someone. No judging here, just how does she make you feel and what do you see.
Avoid political discussions, if someone is pro-or anti ‘whatever’ just say: “What I see is that you’re pro-whatever. If someone beliefs something you don’t belief: you say: I see you belief……”
You will be surprised what people see when they look at you.Write the feedback you get on the Authentically You sheet and share your findings in the group.Like “What so-and-so saw and felt when she looked at my feed was…….. and that was new/surprising/ eye-opening/etc. to me”
Feel this is too much because you don’t want anyone in your personal space at the moment? Share a website or ask someone to google you. I want you to feel safe.
DAY 5
Make a short video where you share: The Benefits of working with me are….
Share 3 benefits of working with you. DON’T tell us HOW you do it.
Tell us what will happen to you us as a RESULT of working with you.
Feel free to stumble, choke, look wide eyed into the camera and go: “Shit I don’t know what I wanted to say”!I know you do better than I did, because I told you WHAT I did instead of the result.
So it might be something like: “As a result of working with me your clients will see and understand your unique quality so they will see you as the Go To Person and hire you to solve their problems.”
“As a result of working with me you will be able to understand your Zone of Genius and use your many passions in your business and bypass doubt and fear…“Maybe you can make this really short. It’s a lot to ask, so play with it.Once again. This is not about perfection. It’s about showing up and share your energy!I’m really looking forward to actually hear and see you! This is so exiting.Tomorrow we meet for the Webinar and for your Personal Branding Sheet
