I can engage people in conversation

Today I took some small and concrete steps towards being more visible. My new actions started when I noticed six people had supported me by commenting on my first FB about this project. I responded to their comments (which was unusual) and then went on to do more.

100 days being visible project

I personally replied to every comment on my FB post about starting this 100-day challenge. I took notice of (emotionally let in) the fact that friends were being supportive of me.

I posted Day-5 to my business FB page and my personal page. Posting Day-1 had a focus on me and my taking a bit of a risk; posting Day-5 felt more like a comment in a conversation about something in which you might be interested.

MS (Multiple Sclerosis) “May 50K” fundraising promotion

I created an update post for FB and thanked those who have donated. I publically increased my goal from running 51 to running 84 km in May. I tried to write my post in a style that was not about demonstrating I am okay as a human (i.e. showing off), nor about pretending that I am not up to anything or that I do not care about causes such as fundraising for MS.

FB personal profile

I added a background photo to my FB profile without struggling to get the ‘right’ photo. I just picked one. This may sound unremarkable, but my profile has not had a background photo since background photos were introduced as an exciting new feature many years ago.

Blog on leadership presence

I did what, I said yesterday, I would do; when I sat down to write I first spent time getting present. I sat quietly and meditated until my mind settled and I felt present enough to write without self-judgement. I adopted the strategy that it is more important to get any first draft written down that it was to write a good first draft. Tomorrow and on Monday I will rewrite the draft and have a final version ready to submit to my colleague on Monday evening.

Knowledge

I learned or relearned today something I seem to have been hiding from myself: I really want to connect with people and engage in conversation. I have also learned that conversing may not be as difficult as it has seemed.

Progress

I not only wrote my sixth blog today but took small and distinctly new actions in the domain of being visible. That’s incremental progress.
