What if the secret to authentic presence isn't about trying harder, but about a simple shift in how you see the world around you? This week, we gather Around the Fire to share May Chang's discovery of what it truly means to be "awesome."
We all want to be called "awesome," but most of us are chasing it in all the wrong ways. May Chang's journey from corporate identity to authentic entrepreneurship revealed something unexpected about what creates genuine presence and impact.
The Identity Crisis
After years in corporate life, May faced what many professionals encounter: stepping out and losing her established identity. What followed was a two-year journey of self-discovery that would completely transform her understanding of what it means to show up authentically in the world.
"The crucial thing is not to rush the whole process of discovery," May shares, "as you want to get it right the first time round."
The Sunset Revelation
But May's biggest breakthrough didn't come from business books or coaching programs. It came from watching something that happens every single day—something most of us barely notice anymore.
"WHEN THE SUN SINKS IN THE OCEAN, ARE YOU IN AWE?" she asks, before revealing how this daily miracle connects to authentic presence in ways that will surprise you.
What she discovered about the relationship between being awesome and being in awe might change how you approach both life and business.
Beyond the Surface
May's story shows us that authentic awesome-ness isn't about impressing others or perfect performance. It's about something much simpler—and much more powerful.
What daily phenomenon are you taking for granted that could transform your entire approach to showing up in the world?
Join us at our next "Around the Fire" Monday sessions with May Chang and other amazing humans to discover how the "Awesome-Awe Connection" can revolutionize your presence and impact.
