Why Waiting for Clarity is Killing Your Progress | Leadership Development | Author Jillian Reilly

Описание: What's holding us back from personal growth and becoming our possible selves are the stories we tell ourselves. To break through, we need to give ourselves permission to act when we don't have the answers. Discovering your purpose feels like it should be an inside job. But what if real personal growth doesn’t happen alone at all? In this conversation on What Do You Know To Be True?, we explore why growth, meaning, and motivation are only possible when we give ourselves permission to engage with the world and with other people.

If you’re asking questions like…
➡️ What's holding me back?
➡️ Why am I afraid to take the next step?
➡️ What would be possible if only I could live more into my potential?
…this conversation offers a powerful reframe.

Personal development isn’t about waiting until you have clarity or confidence. It’s about being willing to act, experiment, and learn, even when you don’t have the answers.

My guest, Jillian Reilly, shares why giving yourself permission to grow is one of the most essential leadership and life skills today.

Drawing from decades of work in global change, leadership development, and coaching leaders, from working on the first elections in post-Apartheid South Africa to helping people with HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe, she challenges the idea that growth happens through introspection alone.

We talk about why discovering your potential is relational, not solitary. Why comfort zones keep us small. And how acting without having all the answers becomes a gateway to adaptability, creativity, resilience, and purpose in a rapidly changing world.

This episode is especially relevant for coaches, leaders, org development professionals, and small business owners who help others unlock their potential and are navigating their own questions of meaning, direction, and impact.
