EMPOWERED LEADERS - Do Yourself A Favor - Slow Down
Welcome Back, Empowered Leader.
I'm so glad you're here, Reader!
Do Yourself a Favor, Reader
As the weather turns colder, and the nights are longer, December encourages us to slow down.
Yet, it can feel so foreign to slow down... especially here in the U.S. where the focus is all about doing more, faster. As a result, we face all the health consequences that come with the "more" mentality.
Do yourself a favor...
Stop for just a moment RIGHT NOW. First, smile. Then take a deep breath... slowly inhale, holding your breath for just a moment, then slowly exhale fully. Try doing this 3 times in a row.
How difficult was it to give yourself just a few moments? Be honest...
Can you commit to doing this each day? Grant yourself a moment to JUST BE... give yourself this gift. BONUS: send a quick note to your team and tell them to do themselves this little favor.
Would your team be surprised to hear this from you? Be honest...
The next time you run across something that resonates with you, send it to your team! It is great reinforcement for you and a great way both to show your team that you are human & that you remember they are human, too.
Remembering We Are Human
That is the key, Reader! You are human, your team is made up of humans... so why do we find it so hard to act like it?
EQ, authenticity, transparency... it's all about treating others like humans, not widgets.
So many workplace cultures focus on $$$ or results. Yet, as an Empowered Leader, you know that treating your team with respect leads to improved engagement, productivity, and retention (for the right people anyway!) Which ultimately leads to the improved company bottom line and a happier, more rewarding workplace culture.
If Emotional Intelligence (EQ) still seems like a buzzword to you, and you want to know more about what it is... or how to "do it", here is a free gift from me to you:

Welcome Back, Empowered Leader, I'm so glad you're here, Reader! I Have What? I had been expecting the depression diagnosis... it's why I had come. What I had not expected was the diagnosis for anxiety, too. Why? I had my own idea of what anxiety was... an image in my head of how it looked. I was wrong. Instead, I learned that my anxiety had been around for quite a long time. For so long that it was how I identified myself to be - normal, I thought. Now I knew differently. Until you know...
Welcome Back, Empowered Leader, I'm so glad you're here, Reader! Leading with Honesty vs. Being "Nice" Not all leadership journeys begin smoothly. Sometimes, honesty is the most effective tool for a new leader's growth. Reader, let me tell you a story, where my initial skepticism turned to success... I inherited a team where a promotion had already been unofficially promised to a team member. This individual, let's call him John, wasn't prepared for the leadership responsibilities the role...
Welcome Back, Empowered Leader, I'm so glad you're here, Reader! According to Gartner What is HR's #1 Priority in 2024? Hint: it's YOU! According to Gartner, "Leader & Manager Development" is the #1 priority for HR in 2024. You know that makes my heart happy... since this is my mission, too! Our front-line & middle managers in the world of corporate have struggled for too long. Being promoted with little to no training in leadership, stuck between staff needs and meeting the next corporate...
