Latest / Chatting with The Experts with Paula Okonneh / Moving from Overthinking to Aligned Action
Transcript
- 0:03Hello and welcome to Chatting with the Experts podcast, where I speak
- 0:06with phenomenal, amazing, fantastic.
- 0:10I'm running out of adjectives, women from Africa, from the
- 0:13Caribbean, and in the diaspora.
- 0:16These women are experts at what they do and they share my mission,
- 0:20which is to educate, empower, and encourage women globally.
- 0:25Today's topic is Clarity, Identity, and Courage, Becoming
- 0:31Who You Were Meant To Be.
- 0:34And my guest who will join me in a minute or two says, what if the
- 0:38real barrier is not lack of clarity, but rather lack of alignment.
- 0:46She will share how identity, self-trust, and courage shape the decisions that
- 0:52we make and the lives that we create.
- 0:55And this conversation will challenge you to stop waiting
- 1:00and rather to start moving.
- 1:04She is the founder of EvolveLumina.
- 1:08She's a confidence and amplifier coach and a strategic engineering
- 1:13and operations leader, with over 18 years experience in the energy sector.
- 1:20She empowers teams, women and professionals to gain clarity, build
- 1:27confidence and take courageous action through coaching, leadership frameworks
- 1:34and transformational programs.
- 1:37Her bio is impressive, ladies and a few gentlemen who will join us.
- 1:42So I'm gonna do this.
- 1:43I'm gonna invite her to join me right now.
- 1:47So welcome to chatting with the experts, Esther Wokoma.
- 1:53Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
- 1:55Thank you for saying yes.
- 1:56I don't take it for granted when any woman or man, I have a few men who join us.
- 2:01So whenever anyone says yes to being a guest, I'm thrilled.
- 2:05So thank you for joining me today.
- 2:07Is there anything I left off from this, your impressive bio?
- 2:10No, you did everything.
- 2:12You said everything.
- 2:13Thank you so much, Paula.
- 2:15I'm really glad to be here.
- 2:17And one thing I've consistently seen, whether in leadership or coaching, is that
- 2:22many people don't actually lack clarity.
- 2:25They lack alignment and self-trust.
- 2:28They know what to do, but they are not doing it.
- 2:32And sometimes it's not because they don't want to, it's because something
- 2:37else is louder in that moment.
- 2:41And...
- 2:41we've all had those moments where we know exactly what to do and still don't do it.
- 2:47So how do you help us?
- 2:50Because a lot of us go down that road.
- 2:52I know I still go down that road in some things.
- 2:54I mean, some things I'm totally clear on and some things I'm like, ah, so how do I
- 3:00move from overthinking to aligned action?
- 3:04Okay.
- 3:05So sometimes the real issue is not what's competing with that clarity, because it
- 3:11could be fear, it could be self-doubt, external expectations, or even comfort.
- 3:19Mm-hmm.
- 3:19Because sometimes we know what to do, but doing it will disrupt our comfort.
- 3:24And we're like, maybe not today.
- 3:26So the question is not always, what should I do?
- 3:31It's what's stopping me from doing what I already know, and that's where
- 3:36identity becomes really important.
- 3:41I'm musing over that.
- 3:43That's where identity becomes really important.
- 3:49Okay, so let's drill in that.
- 3:50So the role of identity and confidence, how, help me, help
- 3:54me, help me go through that.
- 3:55How does that identity become really important?
- 4:00Help me with that.
- 4:02Okay.
- 4:02So it's important because your identity shapes your decisions.
- 4:06Mm-hmm.
- 4:07If you don't see yourself as confident...
- 4:10mm-hmm.
- 4:10You'll hesitate.
- 4:12Mm-hmm.
- 4:13It's like trying to be a different person.
- 4:16Mm-hmm.
- 4:16Your mind will pull you back to who you think you are.
- 4:20Mm-hmm.
- 4:21So for example, you could act like a CEO in one moment.
- 4:25Mm-hmm.
- 4:26Everybody's looking at you, wow, this is a fantastic person.
- 4:29And then you go right back to, Hmm, I'm not sure I can do this.
- 4:34The next moment you're there.
- 4:36So it's not only about knowing, it's about who you believe you are.
- 4:44Because you will always act in alignment with your identity.
- 4:51So, alright.
- 4:52So I know you work with teenagers.
- 4:55Mm-hmm.
- 4:57You work with women, you work with professionals.
- 5:01So because every woman and every professional has been a teenager at some
- 5:08point, let's start with the teenagers.
- 5:12How do you help them see their identity?
- 5:15Because as teenagers, I remember myself as a teenager, I didn't quite
- 5:19know who I was, so let's start there.
- 5:22Okay.
- 5:23So a lot of times when I'm talking with them, I try to ask them
- 5:27what they are mostly afraid of.
- 5:30And a lot of times they're afraid of the expectations of people,
- 5:34what they think about them.
- 5:37And so that puts subtle pressure on them.
- 5:40And then I remind them that they are unique.
- 5:44They were created with a purpose and nobody else can do what they can do, so
- 5:51be you and believe that you are valuable.
- 5:55So every time I tell them, you are valuable, it is like
- 5:57a light bulb moment for them.
- 5:59You are unique and you are valuable, and people are waiting to hear your voice.
- 6:03And so when people start to see that.
- 6:07See who they are, their confidence that's building, and they stop overthinking
- 6:12or second guessing themselves.
- 6:15Gotcha.
- 6:16So you start with the teenagers.
- 6:18That's why I asked you that.
- 6:19So when the teenagers, you re keep reminding them they are who they are.
- 6:24They are valuable.
- 6:25The world is waiting for them.
- 6:27After all, they are the generations who will take over from the
- 6:31present generation at some point.
- 6:33So the world is indeed literally waiting for them and so walk in
- 6:37who they have been called to be.
- 6:39Yes.
- 6:41All right, let's go to the women now.
- 6:43I'm a woman.
- 6:46So for the women, a lot of times it's about hesitating.
- 6:51Mm-hmm.
- 6:52So you want to do things.
- 6:54You know that you are capable.
- 6:56Mm-hmm.
- 6:56But then you stay stuck because of the hesitations around
- 7:01you're second guessing yourself.
- 7:02You're doubting yourself.
- 7:04And then I've also been there where, you know, I needed to, I know
- 7:08what needed to change, but I kept hesitating, not because I lacked
- 7:13clarity, but because I wasn't trusting myself to make the right decision.
- 7:19And so that's what happens to a lot of women.
- 7:21The self trust, you're not trusting yourself and you're like,
- 7:25no, maybe this will be wrong.
- 7:26Maybe this will be perceived differently.
- 7:28You know, all the maybes, maybes, maybes, and then you don't do what you need to do.
- 7:32So it's building back that confident in themselves that you
- 7:38can do what you say you can do.
- 7:41It's not about not knowing what to do.
- 7:43You know what to do, so let's get you to believe in yourself and let's do it.
- 7:49Building back that confidence.
- 7:50I love that.
- 7:51Building back that confidence.
- 7:52And then let's get you to be what you called to do and, and do it.
- 7:58Okay.
- 7:58So there's certain frameworks you must put into play.
- 8:01Yes, yes.
- 8:03And so it's, so I call it the three C framework.
- 8:06So it's clarity, confidence, courage.
- 8:10So clarity to see who you are.
- 8:13And confidence to believe in it, and then courage to move.
- 8:19So I take people through that framework.
- 8:21Yeah.
- 8:22And then so those are the pillars.
- 8:23And then it's built on a Rice Framework.
- 8:26So when you're reviewing, you are identifying, you are stepping
- 8:30forward and you are expanding.
- 8:32So by the time you expanding, you're like, yes, the self leader
- 8:35in me has reason and I'm moving.
- 8:39Loving it.
- 8:40Loving it, loving it, Esther, so I missed out on the first clarity.
- 8:45I know.
- 8:45Confidence and
- 8:47Courage.
- 8:48Okay.
- 8:48And courage.
- 8:49What's the first?
- 8:50Clarity.
- 8:51Clarity.
- 8:52So
- 8:52Clarity.
- 8:53Clarity to see who you are.
- 8:55To see who you are.
- 8:56Okay.
- 8:57Yeah.
- 8:59All right.
- 9:00Confidence to believe who you are.
- 9:02Yes.
- 9:03And then courage to move into who you are.
- 9:07Yes.
- 9:09I love that.
- 9:11Absolutely love that.
- 9:13And that's where the confidence amplifying coaching.
- 9:18Business, I mean coaching coach.
- 9:21Yes.
- 9:21That's where you are.
- 9:23That's who you're that,
- 9:24yes.
- 9:24Yes.
- 9:25That's where it came from.
- 9:28And then I know you talked about, you know, I was in corporate and everything.
- 9:32Yes.
- 9:32And then because you paused and you had this smile like, wow.
- 9:36But then by transition it was more about deeper alignment.
- 9:41So I had spent about 18 years in a junior and operations leadership.
- 9:44And on the outside everything looked strong, results,
- 9:47responsibility, progression.
- 9:50But what I kept seeing not only in myself, but in others,
- 9:54was that people were capable.
- 9:56People could be capable.
- 9:57And you still feel stuck.
- 10:00Mm.
- 10:00So you have the skills, you have the experience, but
- 10:04there's still that hesitation.
- 10:07There's that self-doubt.
- 10:08There's that lack of clarity around who you are truly
- 10:12meant to be and what you want.
- 10:15And so that stayed with me.
- 10:16And so that transition into coaching was really about answering that deeper
- 10:21question, how do I help people move from knowing to actually becoming?
- 10:27And so that's how evolved when I was born, to help people gain clarity,
- 10:32build confidence, and take courageous action in alignment with who they are.
- 10:36It's really about who they are, because remember, God created every
- 10:39one of us for a unique purpose.
- 10:40And so remembering who you are and believing in it helps you move forward.
- 10:48You are very perceptive because yes, I did have a smile because when we,
- 10:54your, your bio is so, as I said, very impressive where you, not you go, but
- 11:00reading it as you know, the founder of EvolveLumina, your confidence,
- 11:06amplifier coach, but you also.
- 11:09Came from a background of strategic engineering, operations leadership.
- 11:14It, you know, there's like, hmm.
- 11:16There's a transition there.
- 11:17So you are doing this based on your experience in a way, because you had,
- 11:24as you said, everything pointed to success, but there was still that bit of
- 11:27a gap and, and you identified that gap.
- 11:31And so you are working from that gap in helping people say, this is who you are.
- 11:36Mm-hmm.
- 11:36And because this is who you are.
- 11:39I can help you be who you are, but because I recognize that, because that was me.
- 11:44Yes.
- 11:46Yes.
- 11:48Esther, I get it now.
- 11:49I get it.
- 11:49That's why you're so good at what you do.
- 11:52Thank you.
- 11:54Yeah, because it's, it's conviction.
- 11:56I'm aligned so I can see it when I'm talking with them.
- 12:00And you mind talking with people, especially from the teens to, because I'm
- 12:04talking with women a lot and I see the questions they're asking, so that's why I
- 12:07want to help teens to prevent, you know, us getting to that point where you are.
- 12:15You almost wanting to give up.
- 12:17Like I'm making all the efforts, I'm doing everything, but it's not working.
- 12:20You know, so let's help the next generation, you know, and not be where
- 12:26some of the women and professionals are.
- 12:30I love what you're doing.
- 12:31I really do.
- 12:33You know, when you start with this, with the teens as we said a few minutes ago,
- 12:37that they are the generation to come.
- 12:39They're going to step into our shoes, but when they know who they are.
- 12:44I mean, they've been created, as you said, in God's image.
- 12:48They have a purpose.
- 12:49He's got a purpose for them.
- 12:50But if that's not realized early enough, when they don't even know who
- 12:56you know, they can't see it and someone else can see it, if they're not guided
- 13:00properly, then that gap is there, and then there's that dissatisfaction and
- 13:06that niggling feeling of failure to launch, failure to launch, failure to
- 13:11launch because they're not in the right.
- 13:14Um.
- 13:16You know, it's like, what do they say?
- 13:17Fitting in a square into a round hole.
- 13:19Round hole.
- 13:20Yeah.
- 13:21Yes.
- 13:21And that's where you come into play because you are like, okay,
- 13:26there's a round hole and you are round, so let's fit you there.
- 13:29As opposed to...
- 13:30exactly,
- 13:30you are square.
- 13:31There's a round hole.
- 13:32I tried to fit you in there because this is what you should do.
- 13:35Because that is where we think you should go, whereas that's
- 13:38not you in the first place.
- 13:39Yeah.
- 13:40And so that's why I also remind them that, you know, they have the passions,
- 13:43they have what they like, and those things were placed there for a reason.
- 13:47Mm-hmm.
- 13:47So you could translate those passions into, you know, fulfilling your purpose.
- 13:53So what are you good at?
- 13:54What do you like?
- 13:57Not what somebody tells you you should like, but what do you like?
- 14:02So you like helping people, you like teaching people, you know, how do we
- 14:04translate that into, you know, something you're going to do to help the world,
- 14:09to help you know, the people around you.
- 14:12And it's always very exciting when you see them light up and like, yes.
- 14:20So, as I talk with you, this is what I'm hearing.
- 14:23Talking with you, I know you said teens, women professionals, but when
- 14:28you talk about teens, you come alive.
- 14:32You really come alive.
- 14:34That's the Esther I see
- 14:38playing on your word, Lumina.
- 14:40You illuminate.
- 14:42When we talk about teens, and I've seen that there's another young
- 14:45lady I know when children come, when did she talks about other things?
- 14:50Yes, yes.
- 14:50But when it comes to children, she comes alive.
- 14:53I saw that with you.
- 14:54We talked about teens and I was Woo.
- 14:56Women, yes.
- 14:58Professional, but teens.
- 15:00So that seems like that's your sweet spot.
- 15:02That's my sweet spot because you can mold them.
- 15:05There's an excitement they come with.
- 15:08There's that energy.
- 15:09And it's sad when you see, you know, them drifting because a lot and they're trying
- 15:15to fit into a mold that is not them.
- 15:19But when you are talking with them and they're very, what I like love about
- 15:23them is that they see it as an ease.
- 15:25So the filters, they don't have the filters like we already have put in.
- 15:28So they're saying this, like in one of the sessions I was having with the team
- 15:31during Next Gen Rising once said that, I already don't think it will work.
- 15:37So why do I need to make the effort?
- 15:39Why do I need to put in the effort?
- 15:41So imagine that mindset from its team and how that would translate.
- 15:45And so I had to reframe, you know, the mind and no, put in the effort.
- 15:53You can do it.
- 15:54You are already good.
- 15:55So because you failed it one time doesn't make you a failure.
- 15:59Yes.
- 15:59It's an event.
- 16:00And so overlook that event and bring the real you out.
- 16:05So it's exciting when you see that.
- 16:07Uh oh look.
- 16:11Got tears in my eyes.
- 16:12Yeah.
- 16:13It's an event.
- 16:14I love that.
- 16:16As opposed to that's where you are.
- 16:18So just, you know, accept it.
- 16:20Yeah.
- 16:20But knowing that.
- 16:22Even that experience does not define you.
- 16:26It was an event.
- 16:28There will be other events.
- 16:29So this event that could have been, you know, that happened then,
- 16:33but it doesn't mean that that's gonna be the next event you go to.
- 16:38And so that comes, I'm going right back to the name of your business.
- 16:41Evolve.
- 16:43Yes.
- 16:43Lumina.
- 16:44So you are a founder of a...
- 16:48this almost sounds like a movement.
- 16:50So that they are evolving.
- 16:52Movement.
- 16:53Yes, yes.
- 16:54Or making them evolve, like, you know, and the bright lights that is in you.
- 16:59Let's make it glow.
- 17:01Ah.
- 17:03Loving it.
- 17:04Loving.
- 17:05Really, really, really.
- 17:08And then the confidence amplifier.
- 17:11Ah, I love it.
- 17:14I love it.
- 17:15I love it.
- 17:16And so coming back to, so then you talking about that teen, I'm just thinking if
- 17:24you weren't there, how they might have walked around in that wrong thinking and
- 17:29you know, and sometimes I remember as a teen, you walk around in that wrong way of
- 17:34thinking and then you start overthinking.
- 17:37Exactly.
- 17:39Yes.
- 17:40And a lot of people are overthinking.
- 17:43So you're thinking, you're researching, you are planning,
- 17:47and you are still not moving.
- 17:49Yes.
- 17:50Because you're in the wrong space in the first place.
- 17:53You are overthinking the wrong thing.
- 17:55Yes.
- 17:55You're overthinking.
- 17:56And at some point it's no longer preparation because you know how we
- 18:00come with what we're like, oh, we're trying to get everything together.
- 18:04We're making sure we are fully prepared.
- 18:06You know?
- 18:06So at that point, it's no longer preparation.
- 18:08It's avoidance.
- 18:10Yes.
- 18:12Yeah.
- 18:12It's avoidance and you don't think your way into confidence.
- 18:17Yes.
- 18:17You act your way into it.
- 18:21Mm-hmm.
- 18:22Mm-hmm.
- 18:25So how do we do that?
- 18:26Because if we don't think our way into confidence, when we act our way into
- 18:31it, so we are moving, in other words, from overthinking into alignment.
- 18:35How do you help us?
- 18:37How do you help the teen?
- 18:38Let's go to the teens because I know you love the teens.
- 18:40How do you help those teenagers move from overthinking into that aligned action?
- 18:45Because there's a movement in that we are moving from
- 18:48overthinking into aligned action.
- 18:51Give us a tip.
- 18:52Okay.
- 18:53And so that's where consistency comes in.
- 18:55Mm-hmm.
- 18:55So it's in those daily or small habits that you make consistent.
- 19:00So those 30 minutes every day you put in.
- 19:03So that's why I encourage them.
- 19:04You're not waiting to have like three hours block and then you read,
- 19:07but that daily and consistent 30 minutes today, 30 minutes tomorrow
- 19:12on becoming a better person.
- 19:15You, so you're learning something new, you're doing your assignments,
- 19:18you're focusing on building that skill.
- 19:20So that consistent effort is what would build you.
- 19:26And so that takes me into the confidence and consistency.
- 19:30Mm-hmm.
- 19:31So where people think that confidence comes when they feel ready.
- 19:35Mm-hmm.
- 19:35So they're waiting to be ready.
- 19:38But if we waited to feel ready, most of us will still be waiting, including me.
- 19:44We'll still be waiting.
- 19:44We won't start.
- 19:45I won't start.
- 19:45If what we'll be like, we will just sit down because they're like, oh, I don't
- 19:49have, some people will go like, oh, I don't have the master's, I don't have
- 19:52the PhD. I don't have the qualifications.
- 19:55They'll give all the reasons why they can't move forward.
- 19:58Mm-hmm.
- 20:00Because they were waiting.
- 20:01Right.
- 20:03So that's, that's really what I encourage people don't wait to feel ready
- 20:07because confidence comes in the action.
- 20:09You get better.
- 20:11You know, like there's a statement of people somebody has made
- 20:14where great is the enemy of good.
- 20:17So you're waiting to be good and then you don't start because you're
- 20:21like, oh, I need to be great first.
- 20:23But then start from where you are, be good.
- 20:25And then with your consistent practice, you become great.
- 20:31So true.
- 20:32The longest journey starts with that first step.
- 20:35Yes.
- 20:36Step one, step two, and you're closer.
- 20:38Step three.
- 20:38Exactly.
- 20:39And so that's what I remind them.
- 20:41So you're building confidence through the small, repeated actions.
- 20:45And so you give yourself a promise, you fulfill it.
- 20:49You tell yourself, I'm going to study for 30 minutes every day.
- 20:52You fulfill it.
- 20:53You are building that self-trust, so you're beginning to believe in yourself.
- 20:56That once you say you do something, you do it, and then you move it to
- 21:01maybe one hour you're studying for one hour, or if they called you to come and
- 21:05speak somewhere, you are going there and you know, you do the first one.
- 21:09They're like, oh wow.
- 21:10So that's self-trust coming back.
- 21:11Remember always said, I said about the women where we don't trust ourselves,
- 21:15we don't think we can make the right decisions, but then those consistent
- 21:18and repeated, you know, small actions help you build self trust.
- 21:22It's so true.
- 21:24So true.
- 21:25Oh my word.
- 21:27I could keep talking to you forever, but everything, every
- 21:30good thing has to come to an end.
- 21:32But before we go, I gotta show off your book, my copy showing off on both ends.
- 21:38So I bought your copy.
- 21:39You gotta book.
- 21:40Tell us about this.
- 21:41Yeah, so on your story, it's a 31 day confidence impact journal.
- 21:47And if you notice on the cover you see my daughter, she's also a teen, she
- 21:51also has published her book as well.
- 21:53And so this is about, yeah, she has like three books now
- 21:57and they're all bestsellers.
- 21:59Yes.
- 21:59I'm gonna be zooming it in and out.
- 22:01Can you see it?
- 22:02Is it the right way?
- 22:03Yeah.
- 22:04The right way?
- 22:04Yes.
- 22:04Okay.
- 22:04You can see it?
- 22:05Yes.
- 22:06So this, this book came about, you know, with conversations, not the
- 22:11regular conversations where you're like sitting down to wait for conversation.
- 22:13So conversations in the kitchen, conversations when I'm dropping her in
- 22:16school, and just creating the space where she could ask questions, where I could
- 22:22encourage her to believe in herself.
- 22:24Mm-hmm.
- 22:24So it was still tied to confidence, clarity, courage.
- 22:28Mm-hmm.
- 22:29And she's very curious, and I think that's why I like teens a lot because
- 22:33their curiosity is interesting.
- 22:36They would ask you questions where you are like, Hmm, okay, that's a good one.
- 22:41And you don't do the generic answer.
- 22:43You're like, okay, so let's, let's discuss it.
- 22:45Because they'll just tell you, no, that's not right.
- 22:48You know, they're very bold, this generation.
- 22:50So for example, recently my daughter told me that.
- 22:53When I'm talking to you about my day.
- 22:56Mm-hmm.
- 22:56I don't expect you to do coaching in that moment.
- 22:59Listen, because I've already had a long day.
- 23:02I've been with people like I haven't really liked, and so I
- 23:05don't want to come and start here.
- 23:07Oh, you should have done this, you should have done this.
- 23:09And I just listen.
- 23:11And then later we could do the coaching.
- 23:14And so that space created that space where you could reflect.
- 23:19You could, you know, think about what you want?
- 23:25Mm-hmm.
- 23:26And what's stopping you?
- 23:27What's making you stay in that hesitant state or lack of self-trust.
- 23:33So those were reflections.
- 23:34And then there's a guide every day where there's a poem that you reflect
- 23:39on and then you ask yourself, how is it tying to the mindsets that you have?
- 23:45So this is me trying to build clarity into people and make them reframe their
- 23:50mindset to believe in the possibility, to believe in who God says they are.
- 23:57And take those courageous actions in alignment with who
- 24:01they are and live with deep joy.
- 24:03You can see that I'm always happy.
- 24:04I'm always smiling.
- 24:05Yes.
- 24:05So I, I want people to, you know, live in that deep joy.
- 24:09Yes, yes.
- 24:10Yes.
- 24:10That's part of your bio, part of your bio.
- 24:12It says create meaningful, impact and live with deep joy.
- 24:19Yes.
- 24:19And I align with you on this because I tell everyone, well, who wants to listen?
- 24:24I choose joy.
- 24:25There's so much sadness in the world.
- 24:26There's so much unhappiness.
- 24:28There's so much destruction.
- 24:30You know, the news.
- 24:31You just turn on in the news, and you can hear so many things to be distressed and
- 24:36despair over, but I choose to be joyful.
- 24:39So I love you.
- 24:39Exactly.
- 24:40I like what you said.
- 24:41It's a choice.
- 24:42It's a choice.
- 24:43It's a choice.
- 24:45And, I'm gonna end with this.
- 24:46A young man was speaking to me recently and he said to me, Ma, happiness
- 24:51is based on the circumstances, but joy comes from within.
- 24:56And I said to him.
- 24:57That's why I like you because I choose to be joyful.
- 25:00It's not based on the circumstances because many of times the
- 25:03circumstances, I've not been happy, but I am joyful in them.
