Enhancing Leadership Skills

Prove or Improve?

by

In a 1:1 conversation with an emerging leader this week: this key topic came up.

This is a deeper place to take your thoughts on those days you are questioning yourself.

It is super important to NOT prove yourself if you are committed to up-leveling your people, emotion management or leadership skills.

What do I mean by this?

Think about it. When you are in ‘PROVE’ energy, you actually WEAKEN your position.

You are chasing approval, you are chasing being valued from the outside in.

Worried about what other people think of you!

There is a way better process to put yourself through.

That is the inside-out process of being dedicated to your own improvement.

That’s the reason this post says Prove vs Improve.

Improve has more power and a much better quality energy to it.

If you’re into ‘improving’ your leadership savvy?

Join us over at eCoachglobal (Only if you’re serious though).

I’ll see you there.

Do you choose your thoughts consciously?

by

Owning that you, me, we CAN choose our thoughts is huge.

It means that we are at choice and can choose the WAY we think.

Taking personal responsibility for our own thoughts has a direct correlation with what we create in our own lives. The types of experiences we create in our own lives.

We decide the extent external factors impact us. We choose.

This goes deeper than “Positivity” this is about day to day decisions. Day to day choices, to choose the way we think.

Some people don’t even realise that they CAN choose the way they think. Do you?

When did you first realize that you could actually choose the way you think and the thoughts you think?

Where / when did you discover this?

P.S No matter what thoughts pop into your head? YOU get to discern them.

You get to decide which thoughts to act upon, which thoughts to ignore.

Today I am present to whatever I experience

by

Being PRESENT is a gift.

You know the saying right ? Yesterday’s History. Tomorrow’s a Mystery. Today is a gift, that’s why they call it The Present!

Be where you are and you will have a much more connected life.

Be WHERE YOU ARE…..Here are the benefits:

  1. People around you will feel seen
  2. Your listening will increase
  3. You will remember things better
  4. You will burn less energy
  5. Worry reduces

Can you think of any more?

Our clients report many benefits from being more present to what they experience in the moment of now. At work and at home. Inside ALL relationships with others.

P.S The only thing you get from looking back? Is a sore neck.

So, please be present and be HERE, the past has gone.

No matter what has gone on, all we can do is deal with now.

It is important to think in relative terms of NOW. Now, today. Here, now, today. Be here, now. This is key for a positive mindset.

Are you Thinking Possibilities or Limitations? What’s working or what’s Not?

by

There are always more options and possibilities than you might be able to see right now.

The way to “see” those possibilities is to believe you will see them.

The way to “see” those possibilities is to understand that there are possibilities that exist , even if you can’t see them yet.

Focusing on the clear path rather than obstacles is a skill in itself. It is a skill to develop via practice and discipline.

Ask yourself today “What possibilities exist that I can’t see right now?” Remember the secret is to condition yourself to begin to “see the unseen”.

How? Keep asking yourself this question, “what possibilities exist that I can’t see right now?” then…Let it go like a balloon – and notice what solution based thoughts enter your mind space when you are relaxed.

Would you like more support? Visit us at: #ThePositiveThinkingJourney#TheReinventionProject

Let’s keep going down this path…this one is GOLD! We love it!

Think about what IS working! What IS going well! What IS going smoothly?

If something isn’t that obvious to you? Then try harder. Focus your thoughts on what IS working, even if it’s a little thing.

Do you agree it’s way to easy to focus on what is NOT working (especially when you are a high performer). So this post is all about focusing on what IS WORKABLE. So take some time NOW to reflect on what is working and what IS workable from your perspective – rather than what is NOT.

So no matter what is going on, you get to see, hope! See options, light, potential and possibilities!

Thinking in itself is a fantastic resource.

by

How do you RATE your own THINKING as a RESOURCE?

The faculty of thinking is a gift. To think through things. To think about things. To think on things.

Thinking and the ability to problem solve is truly worth acknowledging and celebrating.

No matter the size of the problem before you: you can always INCREASE your own capacity to think through and lean into your inner resources.

Ok, so here’s some questions:

What are you thinking?
What are your thoughts?
What do you think (about)?

The simple purpose of these questions is to have you pay attention to your thinking. What is the quality of them? What are you ACTUALLY thinking about most?

Our resource of thinking brings us to choice.

Think about your choices. 4 little words that mean so much if you really ponder them.

Sometimes it appears we have limited choices. In times like this always tell yourself to “Think about my choices”.

Telling yourself this opens up your mind to spot the choices you may not have seen otherwise. ALWAYS THINK ABOUT YOUR CHOICES. Cultivate this thought and you will feel options open up.

This is how we use or thinking resource.

Let’s Talk Resilience

by

I’d really like to raise the topic of resilience.

What do YOU believe the PILLARS of RESILIENCE are in your own experience?

Where does RESILIENCE come from? Is it through experience? Is it from failures? Is it from things NOT falling in your favor all the time?

Is it figuring out WORK-AROUNDS?
How do you BELIEVE RESILIENCE is best cultivated inside your own ….

  1. Leadership Philosophy
  2. Business Models
  3. Communication Style
  4. Business Relationships

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. And most of all – you FEEL that talking resilience is of value right now?

In our work we talk about how VULNERABILITY is actually a STRENGTHENER. When mates are able to be vulnerable, it creates scars and scar tissue which cause tighter and better bonding afterwards.

I love the analogy of SCAR-TISSUE because it is something we can all relate to.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments below on what RESILIENCE means for you and your business right now…AND

How do you cultivate it to get through tough moments… ?

Intuition.

by

The moments of zero pressure, openness, spaciousness, quietness are the moments when INTUITION can rise up from within us and dance and play.

These moments cannot be forced. They rise up in their own. This creative force is what helps make us human.

The spontaneity FEELS good. It SITS well.

When we are intuitive, we can be productive. We can produce. We can connect.

When we are forced, we are rigid, we are robotic, mechanical.

Yet, sometimes like squeezing an orange, we can force out the best essence with self imposed pressure.

The conditions to cause intuition can be designed.

How can you create an environment that inspires your intuition to come out and play?

How can your intuition serve you to become more innovative?

How will you invent more?

What REALLY limits your imagination?

Some of the best ideas and inventions came from a genius locked in a room for days.

What is the most Consistent aspect of you?

by

If someone was to sit on the other side of you. Sit opposite you. Time and time again.

What would they see about YOU that is THE MOST CONSISTENT ASPECT of you?

This is a super important part of understanding your particular brand of leadership.

This is also super important for you to connect with the MOST uncomplicated leadership you can deliver.

Why?

Because the MORE AUTHENTIC you are. The MORE you, you bring to the way you show up as a leader?

The LESS COMPLICATED it needs to be.
