Most people think of leadership in the corporate capacity. However, leadership starts with self-leadership. There are so many folks that are leading others, and cannot REALLY lead themselves! They do not know how, which is sometimes why many business fail. Wow, what a revelation!
Ask yourself these questions
- Who am I?
- What can I do?
- What can I do well?
- Am I living my purpose?
Self leadership has been defined in several ways, however, I like this one: "Influencing oneself to be the best they can be and achieving and obtaining your goals.
Self-leadership is the foundation for Leadership Development...intentionally!
Here are a few Self-Leadership Nuggets:
1. Focus on a worthwhile business or personal goal
You have to have some direction or goal, otherwise you going nowhere FAST!
2. Find your Voice
Sometimes this is hard to do; do not keep silent if you feel you have something worthwhile to say
or add to the BIGGER picture. Speak your truth, and be authentic!
3. Be resilient - otherwise defeat can rear its ugly head, and can do it quickly. Bounce back!
4. Finally, LIVE OUT LOUD and ON PURPOSE
You only have one life to live--Live it loving yourself first so that you can love others! Have
fun. Make that DASH in the middle of your life come ALIVE!
Remember, Success Is Your Destiny!
