Your True Title is Not What You Think

The old saying goes that you have three names: The name you were born with, the name you are called by others, and the name you call yourself. The next time you tell someone what you do, consider the deeper name, the inscription that sits behind your "title."
I was speaking with a client the other day about her book. And she's in this phase that's so rich where a person really considers "what is this actually about?"
It's in the proposal process and "What is this really about?" "But what is it really?" We were getting to the title.
It's about the title of things - and how do you name something? And so in this conversation and this exploration of titles I got to looking up what the word "title" means and the etymology of title. So title actually interestingly comes from the word "titulus," the the latin word titulus, and one of the meanings of titulus is actually "inscription." It's an inscription and that is very rich because a title is not something that comes from outside.
You might be called something you might be "CEO" you might be "Founder" you might be Director of such and such but that's a totally separate thing from your inscription, your true gift, the gift you're bringing to the world. And I think this idea of inscription, of medicine, of that inner title of that finding and defining that gift that you're bringing, especially to this time, is very ripe.
So I want to support you and appreciate you in your journey to holding not just that title that everybody calls you, but that title that's a little quieter that that inscription, that inner writing that tells you not just who you are but really, that title that sings whenever you're doing the work to which you're most called #leadership #storytelling.
