Dear Women of The NETWORK,
How has this year started for you? At The NETWORK, we are continuing with the intention of helping you to make 2023 your best year yet. Our upcoming February event is an invitation to Discover Your Power If we call them powers, strengths, or abilities, we all have them—but some of us are more aware of them than others. Discovering what they are and using them will make a difference in our personal and professional lives.
Unfortunately, time and time again, all kinds of studies and meta-analyses come to the same conclusion: a tiny percentage of the population uses their strengths in their professional or personal lives. This also means companies are not entirely using their employees’ potential.
It is equally important to be aware of limitations and blind spots and not let them affect your performance or drain your motivation. Sometimes we spend too much time and energy trying to improve our limitations or weaknesses. Yet, working to bring our powers or strengths to performance levels could give us the satisfaction we need to improve our lives.
That reminds me of a famous quote attributed to Albert Einstein, but whoever said that was a genius: “If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Hopefully, after this event, you will feel confident that you already have more powers than you thought. Furthermore, you will be convinced that focusing on developing your powers instead of losing too much time trying to climb “the tree” will give you more satisfaction and increase your motivation.
Keep an eye on our website and social media, as every month; we are planning our networking events around themes which will contribute to making 2023 your best year yet!
Yours in Networking,
Mariana Florea President. The NETWORK
