What does it mean to Show Up Strong?

How we approach winning and losing is how we navigate life.

What does it mean to Show Up Strong? 

Showing up strong isn’t just physical strength, mental strength, business, finances, or our personal life, it’s an all encompassing approach to all aspects of the way you navigate the world around you. Analyzing and adjusting the role you play in every situation to Show Up Strong® with your winning strategy in everything you do. It’s the ability to get back up every time you get knocked down, knocked out, detoured, road blocked, or stuck in neutral.

We all have a winning, losing, and neutral strategy that motivates us to do the things we do. Each of us has our own way of making things happen, both positive and negative. There is no one size fits all approach to showing up strong. 

Like professional athletes, every business and person at the top of their game has someone to help them uncover the barriers to their greatness. The blind spots to what we see and do every day, that have become a part of our auto-pilot subconscious habits. You’re here for a reason. You know you’re more than capable of being at the top of your game and getting what you truly want and you know the only thing holding you back from doing it, is uncovering those positive, negative, and neutral habits. 

  • You might have a product or service that has greater potential, but you don’t see it. You’re too close to it.
     
  • You may have an approach to marketing that isn’t speaking to your real value and landing with the right prospects.

  • There could be a subconscious barrier blocking your path, but it was born of a strategy that you don’t need anymore.
  • Perhaps there’s a fear of going after what you really want.
  • You could have people you love, care about, or feel you need to keep around that are, in reality, a bucket of water that keeps putting out your fire.
  • What if you have a skill, natural talent, or dream you’re not pursuing due to the comfortable (albeit hard earned) golden handcuffs you live in?

Whatever “it is” or if it’s a whole ecosystem that’s been infected, you can start with one thing at a time, but I promise you, once you start changing the way you approach one thing, you’ll start to notice how to redesign your approach to anything. When you make the decision to stop at nothing to resolve what’s holding you back, you have broken down the first barrier.  The hardest barrier.

Imagine handling any situation with agility and resilience, no matter how challenging. Maintaining dignity and grace while remaining tactical and focused. Being powerful with the ability to sustain and nurture (com)passion for life, business, the people around you, and yourself.

Confidence, without arrogance. Discernment on steroids. A specialized form of engagement and detachment. Staying true to yourself, while succeeding in the real world.

Showing up strong is taking ownership of the roles you play; your approach, impact, health, results, legacy, business, career, and your life. 

Taking a strategic approach to the way you show up in the world and navigate the world while being fluid to allow for growth and change. It’s learning to balance getting what you want, while considering how you go about getting it will have a ripple effect. 

Keeping a balance of drive and determination with emotional intelligence and responsibility.
