KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM DR. STEPHANIE:
- Identity work is leadership work. You cannot have leadership without understanding who you are and leading yourself first.
- Everybody wants to know their purpose, people don’t need to be convinced that they have one.
- What is the message your life is called to speak?
- Our impact is US, we are the gift to the world!
- We exchange the greatness for who we are for assimilation.
- You have to do the work for leadership development and it will then increase your capacity to appreciate other people’s difference.
- When we know ourselves, we know how our “philosophy” will impact other people.
- If you don’t know your identity blueprint, you become unconscious to how you impact the world around you and interpret the world around you.
- Redefine what unity means. For most organizations, unity is centered on a social identity theory, all come together around a social understanding and that creates relevance. Unity is coming together to go towards the goal, toward the end, for organizational productivity.
- We are existing, we need to learn how to live!
- If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crushed in other’s peoples fantasies of me and eaten alive.
- When you exist in spaces that weren’t built for you, remember that sometimes just being you is the revolution.
