What are you proud of? I am sure you will find countless answers to this question. My experience as a leadership coach and team developer shows me that there is a huge treasure hidden in these answers. Being proud is first and foremost an expression of joy about something that you are, have achieved, or have done. Becoming aware of what you are proud of means becoming aware of your skills and identity. Reflecting on this topic is a powerful and invigorating tool that I also like to use in my work with clients. The brilliant thing about it is, it creates a collection of your very own competencies, skills, and abilities. A collection of examples in which you have already successfully used all of your diverse resources. And thus generates an awareness of all the skills you have to cope with future situations. In this blog parade, I invite you to embark on a journey of discovery of your resources and ask yourself the question: What are you proud of?

Key questions for the blog parade

We can be proud of many things. I would therefore like to provide you with some questions that you can use to address this topic.

• What have you achieved that is special to you?
• What kind of personality traits of yours are you proud of?
• What things are you proud of that you had no influence on? (e.g. origin, etc.)
• What challenges have you overcome in your life?
• Have you ever done something new for yourself without help?
• What fears have you overcome?
• When were you particularly courageous?
• Did you do something even though it wasn’t easy for you?
• Did you defend your convictions and boundaries?

These questions are just a few ways in which you can approach the topic of being proud. Of course, you are also welcome to ask and answer your very own questions!

One more tip: If you have the feeling of not being able to find more answers, ask yourself or have someone ask you the following question: “What else?” (My favorite question 😉 )

I look forward to your blog article!
