6 Ways to Become a Better Leader
Hello Friend -
Do you want to know something? You are an AMAZING leader! Do you know how I know that- you are reading this right now. You are seeking out answers to be more effective, to learn, to grow and TO BE. That is powerful. So before you continue reading - acknowledge yourself for showing up here today.
Let’s keep it simple. There are many ways we lead in this life. We lead through managing a team. We lead our children. We lead our friends/inner circle. We lead our communities, neighbors and friends. We lead ourselves, everyday. We lead to change, to try something new, to grow and expand.
Follow these simple 6 steps below to become an even better leader, you got this!
Trust yourself. You have innate instincts and wisdom - tune into it and trust.
Switch it up. Humans are creatures of habit - so we must make an active effort to change it up from time to time. Surround yourself with new people, fresh conversations. Put yourself into a new working space; a space that has different views to the outside world, a different window and vantage point. From here - fresh ideas and new perspectives will come to you, I promise.
Shift your jealousy to inspiration. Feeling that ting of jealousy by watching another person seemingly having everything you want. Observe them. What qualities do they have and how can you emulate them. You can take it even further and share with them “I just want you to know the way you lead inspires me” include why - does it seem effortless, does their leadership seem fun, is it super successful? Get clear on what you see in that leader, express it and then, emulate them!
Embarrass yourself. No truly - do it. Embarrassment is something we have all felt and are all fearful of experiencing. It makes us human. So often we walk around projecting “perfectionism” - with embarrassment comes vulnerability and vulnerability IS strength. It makes you human and relatable. So sing in the elevator, share an embarrassing story… relate to the world.
Move your body. You are a human, not a machine. You cannot continuously “do, do, do, do” without crashing. And if you are thinking - “well that’s what I do and I haven’t crashed yet.” Take this as a sign. Eventually your body will show you it needs rest and at that point, it will not be on your terms and on “your” schedule. So do it now- you cannot work without a healthy body. It is not a waste of time - it is the foundation from which everything is born. Take care of you.
Laugh. Life is not supposed to be as serious as we make it. Find the joy. In every single day. Laugh, every single day. You have nothing to laugh about? - Fake it until you make it. For real - try it out with your partner, your kids, your friends - start fake laughing and I bet it will turn “real” after a few moments. Laughter is medicine.
Remember, you are already amazing. Bring these fun practices into your days and watch your energy change, watch people gravitate towards you, watch new clients buy your services, watch your team close more deals. Watch your world transform.
