about Ultimate Leadership Camp
My colleague Gary says 'sometimes the universe is waiting for us to catch up." Gary also said "sometimes we forget that we have to do the 3 days in the tomb before we are reborn."
I just did my 3 days at Peak Potentials Ultimate Leadership Camp, coming face to face with my physical self and its limitations. I pushed myself way too hard and ended up having a physical and emotional meltdown. One wonderful man helped me through it and I was able to finally admit the extent of my abilities (far less than they were five years ago!), ask for help, and receive it. I ended up in a wheelchair and allowed three men to actually carry it (despite my misgivings about my weight being too much for them). I ceased feeling guilty for not being able to participate in everything, and instead saw how I could participate and contribute within my abilities.
My key takeaways are:
* I am a person with ability, and it's my responsibility to care for myself so I can be fully present for my team and myself - no drama.
* People come forward to help me when I ask.
Those were the big ones, along with many others smaller in scope. For example, it was men who immediately came forward to help me when I had my meltdown. They weren't afraid of me. Women initially were either angry or afraid. So now I realize it is possible for me to have what I want with a man.
When I am myself, I allow people to see my humanity and vulnerability. And finally I understand that if they like what they see then, they will love the easier parts of me. Instead of trying to "behave" all the time, I am committing to myself that I will be myself.
"Trust your intuition. The universe is guiding your life."
