The Power to Change Our Story

Published: April 10, 2020, 8 a.m.

In recent episodes, Steve stresses the importance of using this time to slow down and get connected with people, but what exactly does slowing down look like? In this episode of ReEnergize, Steve invites friend and mentor, John Berkley, President of Competitive Edge, to coach us through just that. John recites poetry and refers specifically to the different masks we put on for others. If we really slow down and stop to think about our influences and passions, are those authentic to our true selves or are we following someone else’s lead? John tells the audience how he went all through grade school without a date and before going to college, he was determined to change his story. By recognizing the unhealthy mask he’d been wearing, John formed a strategy to take the mask off. “People don’t realize they can take the masks off,” says John. We all have the power to recognize our masks and change our stories.
