Have you ever felt like a BLACK SHEEP?

How to be YOU, UNAPOLOGETICALLY ;)

Do you ever feel like you don’t belong where you currently are? It could be your job, relationship, the city you live in, or even the country you live in.

Have you ever felt like a black sheep in your world?

Let’s continue with all the letters of Creating Your Authentic Brand. Last week, I shared the letter “A,” and this week I invite you to focus on yourself. Own who you are and do it UNAPOLOGETICALLY. Yes, our letter is “U.” It includes both YOU and you being UNAPOLOGETIC.

You can watch the keynote speech about The Code of Authentic Branding here.

Being different in the environment you’re in or not feeling like you belong where you are in your life is very hard. Think about when you had so many thoughts, ideas, and/or feelings you wanted to share but couldn’t. Or when you wanted to be loud with excitement and happiness but were afraid to be yourself.

This is often because you were so focused on O.P.O.’s (Other People’s Opinions) — thanks to Shiny Unsal for creating this acronym. 😀 You were afraid to act in the way you wanted; you were uncomfortable owning who you are because you were scared of being judged and not accepted by society.
