Mindset Unlimited is the brainchild of Alexandra Legouix and Matt Keel, who run festivals and events celebrating health and wellbeing.
Last weekend, I had the honour of speaking at their Unfiltered event, where I talked about unlocking the potential you were born with, by identifying the inner dialogue that might be holding you back, often unconsciously.
We also gained some great insights during a panel discussion with George Anderson, Janine Pardo, and James Llewellyn on how to navigate the ever-changing demands of life while keeping our mindset in check.
One key point I shared was this: We don’t truly know our own potential. We know we can do and be more, but others often see more in us than we see in ourselves.
Someone in the audience asked, “How can we know if we are reaching our full potential?”
I suggested this simple exercise:
1️⃣ Ask five people who know you well, those you trust and respect this question:
“Based on what you know about me, what do you think I could achieve if I got out of my own way?”
2️⃣ Once you ask, stay silent. Just listen.
3️⃣ When they finish, ask: “Anything else?”
4️⃣ Then simply say: “Thank you!”
Now, take that insight away and reflect, can you start to see what they see in you?
