Thanks for posting. I’m glad it was helpful. So many people limit what they choose to do professionally, and we often do it subconsciously. I know that I’ve limited myself, and sometimes I realize months or years later that I avoided doing something without even realizing that I was doing it. I may avoid a speaking situation and blame it on not feeling well or not knowing the subject, when in actuality I was probably doing it because I was worried about stuttering. Or I may avoid a phone call or a conversation without realizing that I’m doing it. I’ve done it a lot less now that I’ve been really starting to pay attention, and I try to make an effort to speak up in meetings and volunteer for presentations.
