Episode 96 - The Disdain of the Illegitimate - a podcast by Rebecca Clark

It's getting ugly out there.

All the judgements. All the dis-empowerment. All of the de-valuing and dis-regarding.

And, I'm just talking about your work.

One of the biggest thoughts coming up in my discussions with leaders, employees, and business owners - "They don't think my work, my contribution, my pursuit ... is legitimate."

What is legitimate? Who thinks they get to decide what legitimate is?

Have you looked up the definition of legitimate lately?

It may surprise you.

If you want to offer up your best work, you may have to be equal parts legitimate and illegitimate.

Take a look at yourself. All of us have played our roles on both sides of this equation - dishing out the comments and the eye rolls to what work someone is doing (or not doing) and the the role of recipient of the behaviors and comments.

It's time to stop it. It's time to be wrong about how you jump to conclusions about legitimacy, validity, and credibility.

It's time to stop the disdain from something different than what you understand.

Opportunities await for the illegitimate.
