THE STATE OF BECOMING

“THE STATE OF BECOMING”
Angela Moonan, Corporate Storyteller
Two minute read
_____________________________
“Tell me the facts and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.”   
- Native American proverb
 
Leadership is an inside job. Soft power is on the rise. The chance to integrate hearts with minds in the business world is becoming a greater reality with each passing day. We live in exciting times indeed!

True story
Last week my daughter came home from an after-school meeting with her guidance counselor. The purpose of the meeting was to review McKenna’s college checklist and ensure she had her ducks in a row for graduation. The guidance counselor said “McKenna, I want to remind you that once you get to college you’ll be living in the real world with real world responsibilities.” My daughter, who’s a high honors student, photographer, babysitter, and all-around great young adult replied  “I empathize with your position however with respect, what world have I lived in these last eighteen years?”
 

We live in the real world from the time we’re born. This I’ve taught my daughter. I applaud her for her forthrightness and for suggesting to the high school guidance counselor to consider a new, slightly different point of view. When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. As Corporate Storyteller that’s my desire… to help leaders consider the world through a more integrated, empowering lens.

Story is at the heart of who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going. When consciously woven through the fabric of our organizations, story becomes the golden thread that binds together the magic inside the company, with the world outside its’ walls. Has the world changed in the last year? The last week? What we know for sure, is that change remains our constant, true north.

The easiest way to and through change, is through evolving our own story… what we tell ourselves, our employees, and the world. Change our story, and we change our life, and ideally, the lives of many.

As a catalyst and advisor to leaders, corporations, hospitals, professional service sectors, artists, I collaborate with some of the brightest human beings. Seeking an inspiring, new point of view, through our work together, these change-makers discover insights they would not necessarily have developed on  their own. Outside of my beautiful daughter, the opportunity to do such work is the greatest blessing  of my life.

In the real world, the only world there is, we’re always in a state of becoming… and this change happens one person, one leader, one community member at a time. I’m thrilled to be living at this time in our history, to have a voice and play my part in empowering leaders and change-makers in becoming THE difference.

Leadership is not owned by only by a person. It can be the act of a whole. We always struggle in life, mostly in our works. We meet different person with different perspective, but what is important is we make sure that our mission is clear and do the job correct and efficiently. I agree that we are always in the state of "becoming". We should be thankful of that because every failure, progress is a sign of success. What is more important is we do our job happily with a healthy environment.
