Complicated by Choices Podcast #2

Gillian Davis, Founder of Overtime Leader

The Complicated by Choices Podcast

Seeking to understand humanity better through the choices we make.


REFLECTION AND GROWTH

While writing last week's article, "The Fourth Time I Might Have Died," I found myself reflecting on my work thus far for Complicated by Choices.

I realized that although I've already published a lot, I've been subtly discovering my style and striving to better understand what I hope to achieve with my work. This process has given me a clearer sense of my approach, the impact I want to create in the world, and, importantly, has instilled greater confidence in myself.

This personal growth has allowed me to let go of the insecurities I felt when pressing "publish" and, fittingly for today, when conducting interviews for the podcast. Initially, I was hesitant to ask guests to be vulnerable, even though they knew the purpose of the podcast was to delve into the complexities of humanity, necessitating vulnerability from both them and me.

By reminding myself of the advantages that these open conversations bring to me, my guests, and our audience, my confidence in embracing my role as an interviewer has been bolstered. I believe this newfound assurance will lead to more engaging content and valuable learning experiences for everyone involved.
