On Wednesday evening, I ran my CTI Cheat Code Zoom call.

This was one of the bonuses I offered for anyone who bought Michael Neill’s program Creating the Impossible via me in January.

On the call I shared four unorthodox ideas (“cheat codes”) for getting the most out of CTI (or really any program like CTI - or even 1 on 1 coaching).

Once that was done, I opened things up. 

That’s when I got this question:

“I’m curious how it is for you in your own development conversations with the people managing you. You must have such a different mindset to them. How do you manage that? How honest are you with them?”

What a great question.

And I get it. I really do.

It’s probably not the best idea for me to talk about detaching from outcomes when a teammate is trying to come up with an all-singing, all-dancing project plan.

It wouldn’t be clever for me to preach how time is a mental construct when we’re forecasting income numbers for Q2.

And it might be a bit much to say I’m surrendering to the wisdom of the universe when my manager’s asking what role I’m aiming for next.

So I don’t. 

I’ve got my daily emails, my coaching and my Mindset & Clarity workshops for the more woo-woo stuff.

Instead, I use the right phrases, nod in the right places and generally play the part.

So when it comes to honesty?

I think I am being honest with my colleagues, but it’s a contextual honesty. I know what the moment calls for and I choose to show up in a way that works for me and for them.

Actually, I’ve done this pretty much my whole banking career.

Perhaps the only difference now is I know I’m just playing a part and I’m still in touch with who I am when I do play that part.

And this is a lot of fun. It genuinely feels like I’m an undercover agent disguised as a normal employee!

(normalish, anyway)

Perhaps you have your own version of this going on. 

But perhaps you feel less like a secret agent and more like a corporate chameleon, always playing different parts with different people at different times and exhausting yourself as you do.

Perhaps playing all these parts even means you’ve drifted away from the real you and you've forgotten what it's like just to be yourself.
