Fuel or Brakes Yesterday, I asked an expert for advice. After a few months where I’ve had to step back, I realised my personal brand had gone a bit missing. Not only that, someone with the same name as me, also in the leadership space, had started showing up more strongly. Nothing wrong. Nothing stolen. Just a reminder that the world does not pause when you do. So I asked how I could build my own brand presence again. The response? Maybe I should just support “your amazing husband” Matt instead. I don’t disagree, he is amazing and I love supporting him but… Now, I had a choice. I could have heard that as a reason to stop. I could have let it confirm a doubt. I could have made it mean there wasn’t space for me. Or I could let it light a fire. And it did. Sometimes the thing someone says can become the brakes or the fuel. The words might be the same, but what we do with them is ours. Today’s POWERUP: not every comment deserves to stop you. Some are there to remind you how much you still care.
