Personal leadership is a state of mind. It is about taking responsibility for your thoughts and actions and how you interact with others in your personal and business relationships.

Many tend to equate the word leadership with the act of leading a company or a team.

But really, leadership starts by first LEADING YOURSELF.

Being honest with yourself and then with your constituents.

Personal leaders embrace change and foster hope,

Encourage creativity,

And a can-do spirit.

Leadership, as it is often said, is like good art. We can’t always describe exactly what it is, but we know it when we see it.

Exactly what we need.

Like right now.

Promise yourself  that you will talk health, happiness and prosperity as often as possible. John Wooden.

Success doesn’t magically land in your lap. There are a number of factors that determine your level of success. Among the many, top achievers know that positive self-talk has a huge bearing on their success.

Never underestimate the strong belief you have in yourself and the value of positive self-talk.  You have to constantly remind yourself that underpinning  all the work, sacrifice, commitment to your goal, your belief system ultimately determines your outcome.

If you don’t believe it you can’t do it. If you do,  you can.

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay connected.

It’s not the light that we need, but fire; it’s not the gentle shower, but the thunder. We need the storm. Frederick Douglas.

There is power in words. One of the most powerful is YES!

Yes. It’s OK to put your work out into the world.

Yes. You are capable of doing good work and making a difference.

Yes. What you are doing  is important.

The future beckons…

At this moment in history there is no shortage of people eager to deny the truth, to exclude, to criticize, turn a blind eye, close off their hearts and say NO.

The ‘Yes’ crowd has always been in the minority but today, more than ever, there has never been a greater need for people to do the right things rather than doing things right: People to step up to the plate and say YES!

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay connected.

How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for someplace else. Buckmaster Fuller.

These are changing times. Society is undergoing a huge transformation. That’s what a pandemic does. It focuses the mind and the heart and forces honest, strategic thinking. Could a RESET be in order?

Stepping up your game is always scary. Getting beyond outdated, limiting beliefs and behaviours in order to fashion a new version of ourselves is always stressful.

Many have gone before you. It’s just that this may be your time.

Heading down a new road is not for the faint of heart. It’s all about sewing seeds of new expectations for yourself, letting go of conventional techniques, outdated dictates of society and rules of the market place. It will take a ton of courage, thorough research, thoughtful planning, hard work and sacrifice.

That’s a tall order, I know. It’s not for everybody, but you’re not everybody. In the words of T.S. Eliot, “If you aren’t in over your head, how tall do you know you are?”

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay connected.

I hope to see you here again soon.

It always seems impossible until it’s done. Nelson Mandela.

As the world begins to reopen and we all start to think about how to grapple with the new reality, all options are on the table.

So how do you get on to what’s next in these unconventional times? Where do you start?

Start at the beginning by taking responsibility for yourself. Establish what you really value and what you know, in your heart of hearts, you’re all about. And then determine whom you want to serve.

You get to decide how you live your life. The past is done. The future depends on what you do today.

The choice is yours. Even when it feels impossible, remember it’s not: Not if you want it badly enough.

In the aftermath of the pandemic, it is going to be amazing for those who are willing to do the work and heartedly embrace the future!

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay connected.

I look forward to seeing you back here again soon.
