𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩

For a long time, I struggled with the idea of openly sharing how I could help others. I feared that talking about the potential transformations someone could experience by working with me would come across as arrogant, even self-important. After all, isn't it a little egotistical to claim you can change someone's life?

But then, I heard something that completely shifted my perspective: “It’s not arrogance, it’s ownership.”

At first, this phrase didn’t make sense to me. It took a moment for it to sink in. Ownership? Isn't that just another way of saying "pride" or "ego"? But what I realized was this: when you own what you can do and the difference you can make in the world, it’s not about puffing yourself up. It’s about standing confidently in your ability to serve and make a real impact in people’s lives. It’s about acknowledging the truth that you’re here to help, and that the work you do can genuinely change things for others.

Let me share with you why owning your potential to create transformation is so important — not just for you, but for the people you’re meant to help.

1. Acknowledging the Power Within You

When you avoid sharing what’s possible with your work, it’s often because you’re downplaying your own value. You might feel like you're "not worthy" to claim that you can truly change someone's life. But in reality, doing so denies the incredible power you have to make a difference.

When you truly own your ability to create change, you embrace your power. And by doing that, you give others the chance to embrace their own transformation. You are allowing them to see the possibilities that lie ahead, and the real change that can happen when they take that leap with you.

2. Clarity for Your Clients

People come to you because they’re seeking help. They’re looking for something — clarity, peace, direction, healing. When you step into your full potential and openly share what is possible through working with you, it gives them the clarity they need to say yes. Without this, they might remain confused, uncertain, or even feel like they’re not ready. But when you confidently express what can change in their lives, you empower them to make an informed decision to begin their own journey.

3. Ownership is a Sign of Confidence, Not Arrogance

There’s a big difference between arrogance and confidence. Arrogance is about inflating yourself, while confidence is about trusting your abilities and owning your worth without fear or shame. When you own your impact, you’re not putting others down to lift yourself up. You’re simply acknowledging that you have the tools, skills, and insights to guide them toward the life they desire.

Confidence in your role allows you to show up for your clients with clarity, passion, and purpose. You can walk alongside them in their transformation with a steady sense of certainty. And when you share with them the potential for transformation, you're showing them what’s possible.

4. Empowerment Over Self-Doubt

The fear of sounding arrogant often comes from self-doubt. What if I’m not as good as I think I am? What if I fail them? These doubts can hold you back from fully stepping into your mission. But remember: the people who need you are waiting for you to show up. Your work has the potential to help them heal, grow, and thrive.

The truth is, by not claiming the impact you can have, you’re doing a disservice not just to yourself, but to those who are meant to work with you. They need to hear what’s possible in their lives because it gives them the courage to step forward. And as they do, you can walk with them in the fullness of your power and purpose.

5. Your Story Is Your Legacy

At the heart of what we do as transformational coaches, spiritual teachers, and healers (or whatever you do) is the understanding that we are here to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. This is our legacy. When you embrace your ability to change lives, you’re taking ownership of the story you’re creating. You’re telling your clients, "I can help you get from where you are to where you want to be." And that is powerful.

It’s about giving yourself permission to be proud of the work you do, knowing that it can truly transform someone’s life for the better.

6. Step into Your True Power

The reality is, every single person who works with you is looking for someone who believes in their potential, even when they don’t. When you take ownership of the transformation you can facilitate, you lead by example. You show them that it’s possible to trust in your own gifts, and you inspire them to do the same.

So, next time you find yourself hesitating before telling someone how you can help, remember this: It’s not arrogance, it’s ownership. Own the difference you can make in someone’s life, because by doing so, you help them own their transformation, too.
