Red Bull’s Post

Last month, the circus gave me the perspective I needed.   I saw two shows in June and left feeling inspired, almost giddy.   The audience gasped as people spun, balanced, swung on silks, bars, trampolines, and more. "This is their job," I thought. Having a nephew who is in the circus, I recognize the grueling schedule, the incredibly hard work. It's not all fun and games for sure… but there is something so special if you have ever seen one of these shows.   As time has passed since the last show, I realized that I'm still thinking about it. And thinking about that sort of job and how effortless it all looked - and what I took away from witnessing it.   1. The #confidence! The time, skill, dedication and showmanship undertaken to participate in the likes of cirque du soleil is awe-inspiring. All of that practice, falling down and getting back up-- the show must go on. Knowing you got this thing.   2. #Teamwork makes the dreamwork. Truly. The #trust we see between these folks on stage. They are literally entrusting their safety in each other. The slight nod indicating "I'm ready to toss you/catch you" - wow.   3. Everyone has a 'core skill' but no one does only one thing. The juggler is also a 'base' for acrobatics. The clown also sings. The tumbler also walks the tightrope. A #range of skills builds the team and has people work with each other in different ways.   4. Lastly (that I'll mention today) -- the #joy. Watching people in their element, with people they trust. It just felt GOOD to be in that energy.   All of these elements - confidence, teamwork, trust, skill-building, joy -- they are the pieces that make our work special, too. What would you add to the list?

Inspiring speech to which I relate deeply… I did not think school was for me, I was even told I would not get my high school degree and do nothing with my life —> I am multilingual, graduated from both a US university with Honors and a French business school with Distinction. I did not think a career was for me, even after international experiences, still I could not find a job in my field at home —> I left abroad to start again from scratch with no money, I randomly entered the IT industry and in 6 years I was promoted 3 times from Junior to Head of 2 departments, and in the process multiplied my salary by 4. I did not think I had the knowledge to be in the IT industry, even for a “support” role as Marketing and Comms —> I ended up being “certified” by the engineers around me and allowed to handle hardware tests by specialized media on my own, sending them the products directly, advising them and answering their questions alone (SSD, memory, peripherals and more). I did not think doing interviews was for me, let alone training others to do it, despite what people think because of my personality —> I have spoken to BBC News and countless other TV news outlets or regional media across EMEA, and I have trained dozens of C-Level Executives and Senior Leaders sitting next to them or behind the camera. I did not think entrepreneurship was for me —> I have left everything I knew and my comfort zone to start a business from scratch. I did not have money for it as I had just made a large investment, I did not even promote it, and after a year I have several clients who trust my expertise and pay me to help them with their businesses. Whatever you think of yourself is often unconsciously biased and influenced by others, by society standards and sometimes even by people with bad intentions. Do not let anybody tell you whom to be or anything influence you to be someone you are not. We are perfect the way we are and we can do anything our heart and soul desire! We just need to believe we can 🙏🏽 And just like Da’vine Joy Randolph (congratulations for that well-deserved win!), I also personally want to thank those who did “see me” and always told me “I was enough” (family, friends, teachers, colleagues); and kept me going. #authenticity #motivationmonday #beliveinyourself #dare #BeYourself #AuthenticityMatters Credit to Clarene Mitchell as I used her beautiful post as a basis to write mine; it was nicely put together. 👏🏾

I appreciate you, Clarene Mitchell for sharing this and extending the invitation to BE YOURSELF - even on LinkedIn. I gasped in disappointment and despair at the embellishment of skills, abilities and #accomplishments here on LinkedIn. #Authenticity is challenged when individuals find themselves in a state of panic or desperation - then #impostersyndrome creeps in. It's important to #BE YOURSELF - individuals are drawn to YOU not who you wish to be or pretend to be. Stay true to your skillset, #capabilities and outcomes. #plagiarism of idea, #innovation, thought and execution peels off. BE YOURSELF. #authenticitywins #oscars2024

So many aspects of breakthrough technology comes down to new or more accurate implementations of existing concepts.
