EverMore Edit: Why Not You?

Dear Readers,
In February, we’re taught to channel love outward to partners, friends, and families. But what would happen if we also turned that love inward?
What if we showed love to ourselves and the experiences that built us?
Despite what childhood may have led us to believe, careers are not magical end posts where you’re just suddenly who and what you want to be. Instead, we try things on, test environments, meet new people—it’s all one grand experiment.
So, we’re constantly learning about ourselves. But sometimes we forget to show tenderness to the people we’ve become through the joys and disappointments. We posture on–and off-line as if actors on a stage.
We only let others see what we allow them to, but forget everyone’s doing the same, making comparison a futile art that we’re all a little guilty of. The thing comparison steals is our unique story—if we’re imitating others or being who we think we should be, we’re not attracting authentic opportunity into our lives.
So, during the month of love, we’re going to be a little mushy and sentimental, we want you to abandon the limiting stories like—you’re not enough or too much.
Maybe you’ve counted yourself out before—for a role, conversation, risk, or you looked at someone else's path and thought, "They have something I don't."
But here’s the mushiness….why not you? Why not your path? Why not the strengths you've earned, the scars you carry, the experiences that made you?
Take a moment to fall in love with who you are—even the parts that make you cringe—what can you appreciate or just accept as a way to value yourself? Valuing your talents opens the door for others to see and value them as well.
This month, we’re inviting you to look at your career as a body of work that helped shape you—the scars and the strengths. The throughline is your unique story. One, that we hope makes you say—Why not me?
xoxo,
EverMore

Our very first article was on our hopes, divinations, and research for the future of work by 2030. One major hope we have is that...
we stop asking each other — What do you do — and start asking — Who are you?

a note from a seedling
The thing I need help on and want to talk through is not “how do I do my job?” It’s instead “how can I be a better manager?” No one trains you on this.
"By chatting with my EverMore coach, I was able to clarify and articulate something I was having trouble understanding myself, which made it easier to help my team." There's still time to join them on the beta.
