So this week, a theme running through some of my Executive Coaching sessions has been: Be Yourself.

You know that irritating advice you always get when you are about to do something that scares you? ‘Oh just be yourself’. Surely it is perfectly obvious there is no one else we can be other than ourselves. As Oscar Wilde said ‘Everyone else is taken’.
And equally, many times we find ourselves contorting ourselves into a person that fits in or pleases others.

Your greatest critic is you. Please be yourself and please yourself.
