The show came to life with an exchange of emotions between the artists. Dancers, singers and guitarists responded to the stimulus provided by their peers. They presented their own interpretation to the audience while remaining in complete harmony with each other. As each artist took center-stage, others cheered and encouraged them with exclamations of “Ole!”I noticed how beautifully they were demonstrating the attributes of a high-performing team:1.

"Thank you for SEEING me" This - in a nutshell - is how we don't just survive, but THRIVE as we follow our path in life. Sometimes you need that one shining light - a mentor or guide by your side to really sponsor and SEE the unique SELF that you are becoming. I struggled with Visibility in my career and then my business for several years - in fact it led to me retraining entirely as a trauma informed transformational coach and hypnotherapist precisely for that reason! - and it's still one of the main triggers for why women decide to work with me now...I didn't understand how I - as someone with a lengthy background in marketing and acting (!) - could be confident and comfortable up on a stage or gesturing at a powerpoint presentation and still struggle to "put myself out there" when it came to starting my own business.I had to take a deep dive into healing all of the ways early developmental trauma (childhood abuse/ narcissistic abuse, emotional neglect, bullying etc) could lead to a deep Fear of BEING SEEN - and SEEN as my true, authentic self. And then understand how that upbringing had also created a myriad of layers to stop me SEEING myself! To SHOW yourself you must KNOW yourself - and some of us went into hiding a long time ago to keep SAFE.We also need caregivers to be our mirror and reflect back our unique, authentic essence- the little tender, essence of us that is growing. But not all of us received that attention.The impact is we land into adult life pretzelling ourselves for others approval, people pleasing to stop love or attention being withdrawn and overfunctioning to feel safe and in control. Most women I work with are high achieving, powerhouses succeeding in their corporate career or transitioning out into their own business - you wouldn't think on the outside they struggled with something like presenting themselves or their message... and yet....It's what's going on in the inside that's a struggle. The creeping anxiety, or dread the night before an investor panel pitch or the boardroom meeting that regresses you to feeling like a little girl in the playground and not a powerful woman in charge of her own destiny...with no idea why...If this resonates with you I'm doing a short, deep (but very concise!!) talk on the three origin pillars of the Fear of Being Visible at the Fully Booked Fempreneur Festival at 14.20 tomorrow Wednesday March 13th 2024. You can book a FREE place here: www.cassiehicks.com/fffThere's a whole host of amazing women speakers offering their gifts for free, and talking about everything from the energetics, mindset and strategy to running your own business..Do join me or feel free to DM me to organise a virtual coffee chat over zoom and I would be happy to connect. www.radiantwomanchat.com

It’s amazing the heights that people can achieve, the impact they can drive, when they have even 2 people who see them and support them. When mentors help others walk their own path and find their very special gifts, it can unlock powerful positive change. We all have our own unique gifts. Catalysts can walk a very lonely and sometimes traumatic path. Partly it’s from not knowing oneself or understanding the power of the unique gifts Catalysts embody. And partly it’s because most people don’t stop to bring curiosity to understand those in front of them. Especially if the “don’t fit in the box”. So this week, make the time to bring your curiosity, empathy, and support to someone you don’t understand. Discover or help them find their own special gifts. Then give them the support, encouragement and space they need to activate their superpowers. #Catalyst #catalystmovement

Be brave enough to live your life on your own terms and never feel the need to apologize for it. Embrace your uniqueness, challenge societal norms, and choose the road less traveled instead of following the crowd. Stay true to your beliefs, and don't conform to others' expectations. Don't try to fit in; instead, embrace your unconventional nature and march to the rhythm of your own drum. #inspiringwomen #inspiringstories #inspiringjourney

Little Monday Transformation When you think you can’t, you won’t. When you think you can, you will. Be you. Ignore the chatter. Ignore the distractions. If it’s not meant to feed you, improve you, or make you better - be done with it. It’s not about Inspiration, it’s about transformation. Stand tall, lead the way and take others with you.
