Today, I want to address a challenge that resonates with many of us: the quest to understand our identity. Are we invincible or invisible in our lives?
The Global Challenge of Identity
In my experience of being on the radio, hosting talks, and engaging with people from all walks of life, I’ve observed an escalating challenge that many are facing today: anxiety and depression. At the core of these struggles often lies a profound question – “Who am I?” Knowing who you are and where you’re going can empower you to overcome any obstacle.
From Invisible to Invincible: A Two-Part Journey
Over the next few articles, I’ll delve into two transformative concepts. The first is transitioning from feeling invisible to recognizing your unique journey and personal achievements. The second is about becoming invincible in your mindset. If I can instill the belief in you that you are truly invincible, then I’ll consider my goal accomplished.
My Personal Journey: Overcoming Invisibility
I’ve faced my fair share of challenges, from being bullied as a youngster to feeling invisible. But I’ve learned that the moment you start feeling invisible, you’ve lost your sense of self. Invisibility metaphorically means feeling unseen, unnoticed, or overlooked. Have you ever felt this way, even in your workplace or as a parent?
The Power of Identity
Understanding your identity is crucial. Identity is unique to you and evolves as you grow and learn. It encompasses your beliefs, values, cultures, and roles that define you as an individual. Lack of awareness of your identity can lead to feelings of invisibility.
The Journey to Self-Awareness
We all start somewhere, and self-awareness is the first step. As a coach, one of my key roles is to help you understand and belief in yourself. Your inherent abilities are often suppressed by external factors like society, schools, or communities. My passion lies in helping you transition from feeling invincible to invincible.
Embrace Your Uniqueness
We are all born unique and gifted by our creator. You don’t need to aspire to be like someone else. Instead, strive to be the best version of yourself. Understanding your identity and embracing your uniqueness will enable you to stand out and contribute meaningfully to any group or organization you are part of.
Breaking the Mold: A Real-Life Example
I’ve conducted leadership programs where I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformation that occurs when individuals understand their unique identity. Initially, participants tend to stick to familiar groups. However, as they begin to understand and appreciate their uniqueness, these groups break up, and individuals start to shine in their own right.
Your Path to Invincibility
I want to help you create an authentic identity that is free from external expectations or societal pressures. By embracing your uniqueness and authenticity, you’ll gain the confidence and resilience to face any challenge head-on.

I encourage you to spend some time reflecting on who you are. Write down your strengths and weaknesses, and remember, your strengths are uniquely yours. Spend some time in front of the mirror and ask yourself those tough questions.
