Put yourself into scenarios where people look at the world differently than you do. Go on a trade mission. Talk to people you disagree with. Catch yourself when you hear the words come out of your mouth "doesn't everybody think like that?" and think about what you're assuming. Be curious about your own version of your status quo

Remember that your champion is investing some of their social capital in putting you forward. A mortgage broker will need reassurance about your ability to repay. A manager needs to see you can do your job. A referrer needs you to be visible so that they describe you accurately.

Often the information needed is readily available. Embassies can talk to you about moving country. Banks and mortgage providers can specify the documentation you need. There are countless videos explaining how to get started with the stock market. A manager can candidly tell you what you need to build your earning potential if you ask in the right way and in the right environment.

You have achieved major things in your life! You have clear achievements, overcome setbacks, challenged circumstances, have an array of personal and professional accolades. If you need to hone your inspiration of dip into a pool of resilience, look into your own history.
