Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves... Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God, of Godess, All that is.
Your playing small dos not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God, of Godess, All that is within us.
It is not in some of us... It is in everyone.
As we let our own Light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we liberate ourselves from fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
[Nelson Mandela]
competences
If you want to read in a business-world-bullet-point-style about what I am competent in, then this is the wrong place. Go to my linkedin or xing profile. That will save you time. If you want to read about me conquering the fear of darkness and shining as brightly as Nelson Mandela, you will also be disappointed. I want to write here, again in the form of an essay, about my professional experiences in various fields; and that's basically everything competence is about: experience. I agree though with the psychological concept that Mr. Mandela is putting forward: one needs to fearlessly go beyond social convention to excel.
I have had the luck, but also the challenge to delve into several quite different working environments: teaching, legal services, electronic manufacturing, sales management, HR management; in a private enterprise, public authority and NGO. each one of these working environments shaped a new experience and contributed to what I am today. therefore competence in my broad sense of understanding does not only imply certain specialist skills, but also the holistic understanding of the world that we are living in. take this as my first competence: I am a generalist who naturally tries to get the big picture.
