81: The Power of Dreaming Big and Setting Audacious Goals

Embracing Only: Workplace Culture & Career Development for BIPOC Leaders

Episode Highlight: On this episode of the "Embracing Only" podcast, we delve into the power of dreaming big and setting audacious goals. This discussion covers goal setting, mindset shifts, the importance of directing our attention to what we want to grow in our lives and taking responsibility for the role that we play in our own suffering.
We are also introducing My Sister’s Shoulders - Olivia’s new community for ambitious women of color to connect, breathe, heal, and strategize for success.
Key Discussion Points:

01:39 Reviewing 2024 Goals: The “new year, new me” belief is not helpful. Rather, it is about being consistent with your goals throughout the whole year and reviewing your progress every few weeks.

05:26 The Power of Dreaming Big: The corporate system is not designed for you to dream big. You need to step outside of that system and dream big for yourself.

10:10 How to Figure Out Your Dream: Don’t consider your environment as the input to your dream. Dream first and then find or create an environment that aligns with that dream.

14:35 The Power of Audacity: Audacity is a common trait in successful individuals. This audacity is what will allow you to make decisions without worrying about failure or the opinions of other people.

17:30 Watering Flowers, Not Weeds: Wherever you focus your attention is what will grow. Paying attention to the weeds in your life does nothing except make you feel bad.

23:10 Introducing ‘My Sister’s Shoulders’ Community: A community for women of color to take a collective breath and figure out how to rest in an impactful way, how to dream in an impactful way, and how to thrive in authenticity.

In Summary: Archita and Olivia challenge us to take responsibility for our own suffering and to dream audaciously. They urge us to stop watering the weeds of our fears and instead nurture the flowers of our aspirations.
