Rimjhim Mukherjee - The Storyteller Who Sells’ Post

Things I don't do anymore: • pose all day for the perfect selfie (nobody looks perfect all the time) • stress myself to post when I'm not inspired • tell people how burnout I am but try to project the "I wake up looking glorious" image As human beings, we have our good times, and also our down times. Putting up a show for social media is exhausting. So, instead, I: • Share a learning point about my day, if I get one • Turn my failures into insightful stories that encourage, when I get it • Take a break from posting, when I need to • Be real, because it's ok if you don't like me The point about social media is not to promote fake perfection, because 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁.

Let’s talk about doing things that scare you. You may have noticed I’ve upped my LinkedIn posting game lately after years of avoiding social media. Truth? Social media posting has always terrified me. Putting myself out there to be publicly judged? Yeah...hard pass. But after hearing for the hundredth time that I needed to engage on social media to support my upcoming book launch, I decided to give it a shot. Yesterday, I connected with the incredible Madeline Sukhdeo, who asked me: “How did you find the confidence to start posting?” I burst out laughing and admitted: I don’t feel confident at all! I’ve just have a lot of practice doing things that scare me. When I’m faced with fear, these three strategies help me do it anyway: 1️⃣ Take the next best step. Instead of getting overwhelmed by what I don’t know or what could go wrong, I focus on the next action I can take. One step at a time. 2️⃣ Be authentic. I reflect on my core values and focus on what’s uniquely mine to say or do. Authenticity keeps me grounded and aligned. 3️⃣ Reframe it as an experiment. I treat whatever I’m doing as a learning opportunity. I focus on intrinsic success (Did I learn? Did I grow?) instead of getting caught up in external metrics. Here’s what I’ve learned so far: Confidence doesn’t come first—action does. The more you do the thing that scares you, the more courage you build. What helps you take that leap? #CourageOverComfort #LeadershipGrowth #Authenticity #PersonalDevelopment #LearningMindset

Choose carefully who you ask for advice. Trust your gut. Ask everyone and you will get 100 responses, all different. Not that anyone is wrong or incompetent. However, they will look at your problem or question with their lens with their own personal prejudices and experience. So, while seeking advice and guidance is essential, it's crucial to consider the source and their level of understanding. Only those who have experienced similar challenges and struggles can truly comprehend what you're going through. Advice from someone who hasn't been in your shoes might not be relevant or effective, as they lack firsthand experience. In the end, you know your own situation best, and it's essential to trust your instincts and make decisions based on your unique experiences and insights. When I am in doubt, I go for a walk with the problem statement and come back with a solution after 45 mins. It really works. Try it ! I'd be happy to hear what do you do when you are faced with dilemmas or problem statements !

🔑 Trust Your Heart and Gut Above All Voices 🔑 In today’s fast-paced world, we’re constantly surrounded by advice, opinions, and noise from every direction. While feedback and guidance can be invaluable, there’s one voice that often gets overshadowed—the one within you. Learning to trust your heart and gut can be one of the most powerful tools in both life and business. These internal instincts are the product of our experiences, values, and intuition. They guide us when logic alone isn’t enough and remind us of our core truths when the path seems unclear. 📌 Surround yourself with mentors (Lindsay Stanley Lee Cuthbert ) but remember that your most reliable compass will always be within. When you learn to listen to your heart and gut, you’ll find that the right decisions are often the ones that feel right—beyond just making sense. #PersonalGrowth #TrustYourGut #Intuition #Authenticity

Default mode may be to catastrophize things...think about all reasons something could fail. Good exercise to identify potential weaknesses but it's only one very skewed version... A new exercise I've brought back to Fridays is thinking about, "what if this is amazing?!" What does that story look like? Then I envision where we are as a business and in a "choose your own adventure" manner, I write the chapter for success and write the separate chapter for failure. It's not always that black and white but for the sake of the exercise I tease them apart completely. Consider trying this with your teams. Challenge them to include all the reasons, trends, behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, etc. that are part of the failure and success stories. It's almost like writing award acceptance speeches or port-mortem presentations before the moments occur. Lots of learning in this exercise. Lots of great conversations and then planning to follow on how to write the ending we want and what's needed to achieve it. --- Would love your follow 🔔 if you enjoy posts on #insights, #brandbuilding, and living a #wellplayedlife

Self-reflection, introspection, self-awareness. Making the time and effort to refocus our minds through these kinds of activities gives us the opportunity to meet the challenges of today’s world. Possibilities and opportunities exist all around us in expected AND unanticipated places! We must first look within ourselves to DISCOVER where our strengths exist and what might be holding us back, and embrace the spirit of GROWTH, using the tools of Trust, Opportunity, Respect, Communication and Humanity (TORCH) so that we can better understand and motivate ourselves and those around us, and then help others to do the same. Throughout this month’s challenge, I will be posing questions to help you – read each day’s question and honestly consider and answer them. Keep a journal so that you can study what you learn about yourself and how you can put that knowledge to effective use. The first day of this month highlights my quote from The Art of Connection, 365 Days of Gratitude Quotes by Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, and Influencers, a project I am very proud to have participated in and has allowed me to meet and learn from so many incredible leaders. You’ll see more quotes from some of my co-authors sprinkled throughout June’s calendar. Your FIRST CHALLENGE for June is to think about and answer these questions: “What are you grateful for today? What did you learn, and who will you thank?”  #JohnVerricoLLC  #ShareYourFire  #June  #Calendar  #Challenge #Discover  #Grow #torchtip #motivation  #trust  #opportunity  #respect  #communication  #humanity #speaker  #trainer  #coach

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐖𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐫? Let's be honest, how many times have we had a fantastic idea, a burning desire to try something new, only to immediately dismiss it out of fear? Fear of failure, fear of judgment, fear of disappointing ourselves and others. We watch on the sidelines as others take the plunge, the ones who dare to experiment, to push boundaries, even though a part of us wishes we had that same courage. Sometimes, instead of cheering them on, we find ourselves holding our breath, worried about their potential failure. But here's the truth: growth and innovation only happen when we dare to move. In our professional lives, just like in life itself, courage and experimentation are the keys to unlocking our potential. Standing out from the crowd requires a little boldness to break the mold and do the unexpected. Maybe some things require practice to perfect, but others? Those breakthroughs often come from being the first one brave enough to try. So, as we push forward in this new month, let's ask ourselves: Is there something you've been holding back on? An idea, a dream, a skill you've longed to develop? 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤? 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀—𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘆 Ever caught yourself dismissing someone’s opinion because others have labeled them as “unreliable” or even “foolish”? I have, and I learned a valuable lesson from it. Some of the most surprising insights I’ve gained have come from listening to people I initially underestimated. It’s easy to write someone off, especially when their views challenge our own or come from a place we don’t immediately respect. But when we pause, stay curious, and truly listen, we open the door to perspectives that might just change the way we think or approach a problem. Listening isn’t just about hearing what’s said - 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. Sometimes, the breakthrough idea or a much-needed reality check comes from the most unexpected sources.
