David Corbin grew up seeking approval, which made him hyperaware of others. He learned to transform that survival skill into genuine service and leadership, arguing that observing people with a desire to help rebuilds self-esteem from the inside.
On today's slider, Chief Illumination officer David Corbin dishes out some great advice on heightening your self awareness to improve your self esteem and hone your skills. I want to know about the boy Dave, because all of this amazing brilliance, this intuitive something had to come from somewhere. Where's the wellspring pain? Seriously. A lot of growth and genius. I don't claim to be one, but a lot of growth and genius comes from pain. I grew up as a kid with low self esteem, didn't feel I was worthy and I fought to see where am I, where could I be? Thank you. Through that heightened sense of awareness and observation. And you and I talked about this a while ago. Observation is key, whether it's in sales, marketing, management, leadership, the power to observe, fueled by the power to serve with love is critical. And I just simply took everything I learned as a kid and about, you know, trying to get people to like me and trying to get attention from my father and that expanded me. And then when I actually learned to be happy with myself and to like myself, those skills didn't go away. So I wasn't using those skills to either manipulate or to get people. I was now using those skills to serve. It's a trip how we learn. And you know, you look a lot of comedians, they started out with low self esteem, a lot of actors that way and then eventually when they cure for that low self esteem, they still have those skills, they bring it into their acting, into the comedy from observation. So it's trippy. So I kind of grew up that way.
