This says so much. #leadership#success#influence
Somehow, after a break and the start of a new year we seem to fly much higher; see much further; want to tackle both new things and those tasks that we’ve been putting off.
MAKE A START BEFORE THE ENERGY WEAKENS. TAKING ACTION, FIRST STEPS, WILL SUSTAIN YOUR #MOTIVATION
Your morning thoughts set the tone for the whole day. Review your goals. Set your priorities. Check your to do list. Take 3 minutes to visualize yourself having a successful day. Now get going. You’re in control. #MakeTodayGreat.#success#leadership
A good leader isn’t one who barks orders or thinks they have all the right answers. A good #leader knows when to stand back and trust that their followers have what it takes to make decisions and do the job that they have been hired to do. #leadership
Thanks to Uber driver Olivier who drove all the way back to bring me my wallet I had forgotten in his car, and for good conversation. Shows you, Uber can be a pleasant experience
When emotions are high, rationality is low, bad judgements are made and what you say and do can have bad consequences. Always remember that the way you deal with an issue can leave a problem that lasts after the issue is long forgotten. So #breathe, breathe, breathe. #leadership
#Compliment people more. Many people have trouble thinking of themselves as smart, or pretty, or kind, or doing a good job, unless told by someone else. You can help them out. There’s nothing like a genuine compliment to make someone’s day. #leadership#JustDoIt
Success doesn’t necessarily mean you have millions in the bank or that you’re a super star. No! Do you have mental peace? Are you growing as a person? Do you feel satisfied with your life? Are you happy? These are the real indicators of #success#happiness
#Authentic life choices based on our #values will not always be easy, but they will always be worth it, because they will help us live with #integrity. Your #success might not look successful to people around you, but it will feel successful to you internally. #leadership
The best way to develop the traits you desire is to spend the majority of your time with people who already have them.The behaviors/attitudes which helped them to succeed will become part of your daily routine.Hang around them long enough & you’re likely to reach similar #success
Acknowledging achievements/hardships of 2020 is key to starting 2021 off in a positive headspace. Thinking about what you're grateful for is 1 of the most effective ways to increase well-being/satisfaction.It’s worth taking time to focus on what you've got.#gratitude#positivity
It’s a tragedy when
-a child’s only hope for normalcy rests on a miracle
-a person lives in rags amongst riches
-the color of another’s skin darkens the color of ones heart
The real tragedy however is if, despite my ability to do so,
I fail to help another in need #generosity
Take some time to think of 2020 - reflect on:
3 highlights of your year...feel good
2 lessons you learned......feel confident
1 commitment for 2021....feel motivated
Step into 2021. It’s your time to fly.
Yes! You can fly without wings, but you have to start by MOVING.#success
Your #passion is waiting for your #courage to show up.
The #hardchoices in life are very often the very things we need to do.
People usually think of all the risks of doing something but rarely ask the question, “What is the risk of doing nothing..of maintaining the status quo”.
My son sent this post card picture from Cape Town and I realised, if you really care for someone you experience life through them. I feel like a piece of me is literally there. Care more for your people & see life through their eyes. It will change how you lead. #leadership
