How to Be Consistently Present as Your Most Authentic Self with Elvira Marie Chang

Elvira Marie Chang is a CliftonStrengths-based Educator, Course Creator, & Gallup Certified Strengths Coach. In her own words, “she gets to focus on people – what's best about them, what's possible for them, and how that ripples outward and forward.”

In this episode of Fully Alive, Elvira encourages listeners to create a life (and business) where who they are is the same at work, at home, in community, etc. During our time together, Elvira and I discuss what it means to be fully present, as your most authentic self, without artificial boundaries.

Some highlights include:

• Recognizing, defining and embracing your individuality and talents, so that you can positively impact all aspects of your personal and professional life
• Responding to situations and events in a way that make yourself and others feel seen, heard and safe
• Showing empathy and understanding to others by focusing on their individuality and uniqueness
• Seeing how your beliefs, needs, patterns of thinking and values shape who you are and connecting those to your talents

If you feel unsettled, like you’re not fully living, Elvira offers this:

“ We haven’t really valued or seen ourselves for who we are because we are too busy comparing. We haven’t created that life or environment where we are constantly using our talents and our natural wiring in the sweet spot.”
