Coach and author Victor Dedaj shares why we avoid our own reflection, how people-pleasing and limiting beliefs keep us small, and the gentle practice of becoming honest with yourself again. About the Guest: Victor Dedaj is a New York-based success and wellness coach, motivational speaker, and former finance performance analyst. He is the author of You Can Become Successful and a Canfield-certified trainer. Key Takeaways: Trying to be who others want is exhausting; being yourself draws the right people. You can't fix what you won't honestly look at. Over 90% of what we fear never actually happens. Roles can become a comfortable place to hide from your fuller self. If you don't ask, the answer is always no.
