Hey everyone, Benkimer Radio. Good morning! Hope you're awesome, hope you're doing well.

Hope the day ahead of you is looking good. So today, I was having a little chat with someone at a seminar at the weekend.

I went and taught to a big group of personal trainers and we were discussing our flaws. Our flaws as people because a lot of people are

held back by what they see as their flaws that because of these imperfections they can't do something

because the image is that the person that they maybe look up to or aspire to has it down. You know they don't have these floors and that's what

you know it doesn't hold them back and that is a big problem with social media.

Social media paints the perfect picture. You might look at

my social media and think, oh, bend this, bend that, and reality is I to an extent paint a more perfect picture because that's what we're sharing of our

lives. We're quite often sharing the good bits, the highlights, the things that we are most proud of, whether that is a personal

or professional thing.

And I'd like to think I attempt to anyway, keep my social media pretty real with what I'm sharing. I like to

share the highs and the lows and maybe because I'm such a generally positive person

that maybe I don't share enough of like my down days or

frustrations but then how many people want to listen to people's down days for me

I'd rather keep it reflective like all you know had a bit of a bad couple of days like

here's the summary here's the highlights rather than you being down in my emotions because no one in my opinion really wants to see that on social media but we do want to see

sort of insights of real life so anyway what am I rambling about?

The personal trainer that I was talking to

was struggling with sort of becoming his best self, essentially,

like that he felt people would look at him and think he's not fit enough or strong enough

for any of that stuff to be a personal trainer and the reality is every industry needs diverse groups of people in it.

So whatever industry you're in, whether it's fitness or accounting or HR or social care or whatever. We need diversity throughout the world.
