🔒 Armored Leadership The Illusion of Perfection 🚪 Have you ever felt that you need to be “perfect” to be recognized or accepted? That every mistake casts a shadow over who you are? This is the trap of armored leadership: a defensive stance that elevates perfection as the ultimate goal, only to leave you exhausted and stuck. 🎭 Perfection is like wearing a flawless, ornate mask to a ball. On the outside, everything seems dazzling, but the mask keeps your true self hidden. No one sees who you really are. As you dance to impress, you feel the strain of the mask and the fear of it cracking. This isn’t freedom; it’s a relentless battle to prove something no one truly needs—except you. ⚡ What’s the problem? Perfection doesn’t protect it conceals. It fuels pleasing, performing, and overachieving in a constant bid for external approval. It focuses on others, not yourself, making you dependent on their validation and keeping you out of the arena of authentic leadership. 👉 Perfection: Avoids mistakes but blocks growth. Fuels shame, judgment, and fear of criticism. Traps you in a self-destructive cycle of self-judgment. ✨ The truth? Perfection doesn’t exist. It’s not the key to success but a veil of fear and insecurity. Real strength lies in bold leadership: embracing failure, learning, and growing in the light of your own imperfections. 💬 “Authentic leadership isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being brave enough to be real.” 🌟 Become a Bold Leader Are you ready to take off the armor of perfection and show up as your true, authentic self? Join the Euro Wellness Leaders group and discover how to grow in leadership, self-confidence, and vitality. 👉 Connect with me, Annick Verboven, and let’s set a new standard for bold, powerful, and liberated leadership.

Welcome to the Euro Leadership Coaching Newsletter – Edition 7 Published by European Wellness Artificial Intelligence Worldwide Leadership, led by Annick Verboven Lead with Boldness: The Leadership Blueprint for 2025 As we prepare for 2025, consider this: Are you ready to leave behind traditional leadership and step into the extraordinary?

Everybody is Innocent We were all children once, filled with innocence and curiosity. As we grew, we faced challenges, some big, some small. It was during these early years that we began to develop beliefs, values, and a conscious mind. How we are raised, the people we meet along the way, and the experiences we go through shape us into who we are today. How we respond to these experiences is what truly defines us. It’s not the event itself, but the meaning we attach to it that determines our path. We each develop patterns in our systems based on how we interpret the world around us. Some of these patterns serve us well, while others may limit us. As we reflect on our lives, it's important to remember that everyone is doing the best they can with the tools they have. We all carry baggage, and we all carry innocence. Understanding this is key to healing and moving forward. Compassion for ourselves and others is a powerful way to break old patterns and embrace new opportunities for growth. By changing the meaning we give to past events, we can rewrite our stories. We can choose to release old beliefs that no longer serve us, and adopt new ones that empower us to live authentically and with purpose. 💬 "We are all innocent, shaped by our experiences, but not defined by them. The key is in how we choose to respond." How have your past experiences shaped the person you are today? What new meaning can you give to your journey to create the future you desire? Share your thoughts or send me Annick Verboven a message. Let’s break free from the patterns and grow together. ✨

🎄 The Holidays can be the loneliest time after a toxic relationship 🎄 After leaving my abusive relation, I remember sitting alone during the holidays, feeling like the walls were closing in on me. On the surface, everything seemed calm, but inside, I was overwhelmed by hurt and isolation. A toxic relationship is like a beautifully wrapped gift under the tree. From the outside, it looks perfect, even magical. But when you open it, there’s nothing inside. Afterward, you’re left holding the emptiness, wondering why it feels like your fault. I wanted people to see how deeply I was hurting, to reach out and care. But I also pushed everyone away, too scared to show my vulnerability to everyone. It’s a cruel cycle: hiding to protect yourself, yet feeling devastated when no one checks on you. The hardest part wasn’t the loneliness—it was the belief that I wasn’t worthy of love. That belief didn’t start with my relation; it had been with me since childhood, whispering lies about my value. I see this same pattern in my clients: the inner child, still wounded, still waiting for someone to say, “You’re enough. You’re loved.” Healing started when I stopped waiting for others to prove my worth and turned inward instead. I had to nurture that younger part of me that was terrified of rejection and show her that love begins within. This holiday season, if you’re feeling unseen, unloved, or broken, I want you to know this: You are worthy, always have been, always will be. 💬 "The greatest gift you can give yourself is the belief that your value isn’t tied to anyone else’s actions or approval."

Love, connection and being enough When love feels absent, thoughts arise like: Maybe I’m not worthy of love. I often see these feelings in people who’ve experienced trauma, survived destructive relationships, or struggle with boundaries and self-worth. We create countless stories about what we need to achieve to be “good enough”: I’ll be good enough when I lose 20 kg. When I stop drinking. When I save my relationship. When I’m smart enough. When I earn more money. When he calls me back. When everyone likes me. But the truth is: You are already worthy. Without the “if,” without conditions or doubts. Living from your full humanity means realizing that you are already enough—right now. Not if, not when, but now. Let go of your list of conditions. Feeling a sense of connection begins within you. It’s not something you need to seek from others. The feeling of being “enough” starts in your own heart. Love is the opposite of shame. It’s time to let go of the behaviors you’ve developed to adapt to others. Stop being the chameleon who constantly adjusts to meet other people’s expectations. Learn what love and connection with yourself truly mean. Dare to show your vulnerable side. It is in this vulnerability that immense strength resides. This is where true connection begins and where you discover the deep truth of being enough. Allow yourself to experience the love and connection you deserve. Take the first step today: let go of conditions and embrace who you truly are. 💕 Are you ready to learn more about self-love and connection? I’m here to guide you on this journey.

Welcome to the 13th Edition of the Liberate from Narcissism Newsletter Published by Annick Verboven, Founder of Topfit na Narcisme en Trauma and European Wellness Artificial Intelligence Worldwide Leadership Narcissistic Behaviour Explained: The Illusion of Confidence Narcissistic behavior is often misunderstood. Many believe that narcissists are simply full of themselves, but the reality is far more complex and rooted in deep insecurity. At the core of narcissism lies a profound emptiness—a lack of self-worth masked by an inflated ego and external validation.

Today, my Date with Destiny begins. Last year, fate had other plans for me. A severe fall just before the event prevented me from attending. Perhaps there was a reason for it. Today, I’m deeply grateful to finally be able to experience this life-changing journey. I can’t express how excited I am because I know the transformation Unleash the Power Within (UPW) brought into my life. "Meaning is emotion, and emotion is life." For a long time, my life felt like survival, living in the past. But what I've learned is this: our emotional force—this incredible power we all have—is shaped by habitual emotions. Think about it: are you fueled by fear or faith? By frustration or love? By stress or excitement? Even when the unknown feels daunting, you have the power to choose. Life is unpredictable. Join our community at Euro Wellness Leaders for insights, support, and guidance on your healing journey. https://lnkd.in/eVns7sVy Situations change, plans fail, pain happens, and people aren’t always loyal or loving. Despite what happens in the outer world, you can decide how you want to feel. This isn’t about denying reality; it’s about creating your own. I’m stepping into this journey ready to embrace growth, transformation, and the opportunity to rewrite my story. Let’s do this. 💥 Connect with Annick Verboven if you want changes in your Life.

Identity: Who Are You? Your identity isn’t static—it’s a dynamic force, shaped by your roles, experiences, and the archetypes you embody. We’re all a blend of these universal characters, each with their own strengths, struggles, and lessons. The question is: Which archetype is leading your story right now, and how is it shaping your life? Some Archetypes of Identity are: The King/Queen A leader with vision, authority, and the power to create order—but prone to isolation or corruption if unbalanced. Ask yourself: Are you ruling with integrity, or are you weighed down by the crown? The Warrior Brave and determined, ready to fight for their goals—but sometimes too rigid or aggressive. Ask yourself: What are you fighting for, and is the battle worth it? The Magician A transformer and innovator, turning challenges into opportunities—but at risk of manipulation or detachment. The Victim Acknowledges pain and seeks safety—but risks staying in a cycle of powerlessness. Ask yourself: Are you ready to turn your pain into strength? Ask yourself: Are you using your wisdom to create, or are you trapped in illusions? Quote on Identity: "We all wear masks, but the truest identity is the one that dares to change roles and rewrite the script." – Annick Verboven ➡️ Share in the comments: Which archetype resonates most with you right now?
