"Mirror, mirror on the wall... Yes, I see me; warts and all"
 
When you look into your mirror, what do you see?
 What do you think others see?
How do you know that what you see is the same as others see you?
 
 
 
The story of Snow White...
 
I have been telling this story for many years now. It is a true story about myself.
 
You see I used to look in my mirror and see Snow White. I saw myself as a results-oriented hard worker; a people-person who was fun to be around.
 
What I didn't see was how others viewed me. To them I was obsessed with work/winning; aggressively task-oriented through driving people; as for fun it was on my terms only.
 
So where I saw Snow White, others saw Wicked Witch of the West.
 
What a shock when someone finally decided to share this with me. My immediate reaction of course was one of denial, blame and justification. Initially what a bitter pill to swallow!
 
But as my mother would say, "Where there is smoke there is usually fire."
 
So I took some time to reflect on the feedback I had just received, and so my journey began.
