I am spending two days in Arizona with Kailash Sozzani- an amazing, highly intuitive, heart-centered woman.  She is also gifted in identifying what “colors” bring out your authentic personality and in coaching around any resistances that come up when you “step into who you are really are”.

Let me give you an example.  Most “autumns” command attention when they enter a room and have a lot of energy.  Many are happy being in the spotlight.   

I completely saw how the clothes she put me in (which also had the flare and “uniqueness” of pieces that I like)- felt really good to wear.  However, I was resistant to the “be you you are all the time”- which for me, would include wearing my leopard heels not only for a night in Manhattan but also for a DAY event (!), because I have always felt I needed to minimize who I really am in the day time.   

There are all kinds of reasons we shrink ourself- perceived social norms (who wears leopard heels in the DAY?  Crazy people?:), not wanting to step into our power, not wanting to outshine others, and so on.

And the point is- as I have learned from Kailash Sozzani- we need to be ourselves, all the time, no matter what!  The alignment that comes from full authenticity is an essential  piece of being able to command higher fees and charge what you are worth.

And I can tell you, this fresh perspective will stay with me forever.  And it feels GREAT not to have to pretend anymore.

So, if you come to Kendall SummerHawk’s October Money, Marketing and Soul event- you will see me in… my leopard heels- with a big smile on my face!
