"Do you ever that sense of fear in your stomach when you try something new? Me too. That fear means you’re learning. You’re growing. You’re expanding and moving out of your comfort zone. That comfort zone feels safe because it’s what we know — it can also trap us in the status quo. The imposter syndrome, fear, procrastination, insecurity means you are in the fear zone. You cannot chase your dreams, grow, or live your purpose in the fear zone. You just can’t. What you want is on the other side of fear. It’s on the other side of your comfort zone. It’s found in the learning zone. It’s found in the growth zone. The only way to get out of the fear zone is action. It’s doing. It’s creating daily habits. It’s setting routines. It’s becoming. It’s doing and moving forward even when it scares you. Lastly, your body doesn’t know the difference between fear and excitement. Next time you get that feeling in your stomach, tell yourself that it is excitement. You are excited to apply to that job. You are excited to speak in public. You are excited to ask that person out. And sometimes, you just need to do it anyways. Do it afraid. Do it scared. Do it while your hands tremble. I promise you, the next time you’ll be a little bit less fearful. And then it becomes habit and finally who you are. You got this, Raindrops! Who’s entering the learning and growing zone with me? Let me know in the comments!

Micromanagers destroy trust and create anxiety and fear. They: ↳ Control every step, leaving no room for creativity. ↳ Demand constant updates and reports. ↳ Second-guess every team decision. ↳ Obsess over imperfections. ↳ Hover over every detail. Leaders who trust empower their teams. They: ↳ Create safe spaces to take risks. ↳ Value diverse perspectives. ↳ Encourage innovation. ↳ Show genuine care. ↳ Enable growth. Trust builds teams.

5 models I swear by to be more strategic (especially when the stakes are high.) I wish I could tell you, "The smartest decisions I’ve made came from instinct." But that would be a lie. They came from having the right tool. At the right moment. No one has all the answers. And being strategic isn’t about pretending to. It’s about knowing how to think for the most impact. Here are 5 models I use to think more strategically: 🧠 SWOT Analysis See what’s working. Spot what’s holding you back. ➟ Use before: big moves or career pivots. 🔁 Second-Order Thinking Think past the obvious. Spot long-term impact early. ➟ Use when: decisions have ripple effects. 🛠 VRIO Framework Find your edge. Identify what sets you apart. ➟ Use to: pitch your value or prioritize strengths. 📐 McKinsey 7S Fix what’s out of sync. Align how you strategize, plan and act. ➟ Use when: progress stalls or things out of sync. 🎯 Impact vs Effort Matrix Work smarter, not harder. Focus where results are most impactful. ➟ Use when: you’re overloaded or stuck. Being strategic isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about knowing how to think when it counts. The right model can change how you lead, plan, and win. Reshare to help someone in your network. And give me a follow for more posts like this.
