This label has been with me for the last 5 years.
It dates from when I did the brilliant Co-Active Training Institute Fundamentals coaching course, from an exercise a couple of days in.
In small groups each person had some time in the spotlight, and everyone took it in turns to acknowledge them.
To name the qualities they saw that shone out into the world.
To share the qualities they wanted to see more of, that could come to the surface and be more visible.
It was incredibly powerful to be seen in this way.
This label came from the last part - an archetype to sum up the noticings. An alter ego to play with for the rest of the day.
It was an invitation for me to be a little less responsible and polite.
To be louder and more in your face.
To pay less attention to the rules and roam more freely.
I keep it visible to remind myself that it’s OK to loosen up - as a responsible eldest daughter who likes getting it right this can be hard to remember :-)
It can be freeing to test out a different way of being and see what happens.
To let go of who you usually are - underneath the roles and the labels you have accumulated along the way.
To explore what it feels like to try on an alter ego and see how your impact changes.
Who would your alter ego be?
And what would it be like to put it on and have a play?
Wishing you all a wonderful week,
