Masterful Mindsets – How Are You Leading?
“Lead and They Will Follow”
Last week I hosted an online training to help people learn how to thrive during uncertain times. I wanted to provide the training because I felt it was so important to guide and lead others in a positive way. To give them a new way to think about the current crisis our world is facing and share some tools they could utilize to better navigate through this situation. Because right now more than ever, I believe we must all level up and be strong role models for others.
How you choose to show up each day, influences the people around you. Think about that long and hard right now… You may not realize how important it is or how influential you are. But you have the opportunity to influence people in your personal and professional life every single day. That’s powerful and it’s not to be taken lightly. Yet most people never ever stop to think about the fact that their words, energy and actions are influencing others.
If you are home with your family during this time, think of the level of influence you have that’s going to affect how they are handling this situation. If you are working from home and meeting with others virtually, what are they hearing and seeing when you connect?
Truthfully, whether you realize it or not, you’ve likely always influenced others around you. You don’t have to be a motivational speaker, a guru or someone who calls themselves “an influencer” on social media just to be influential… you are an influencer! We all are… So what kind are you?
How are you leading? What are you teaching others around you to think or believe? Are you challenging people to grow and behave in a positive way or are you a negative influence that role models bad habits and debilitating thoughts?
Influence is a topic that I’m very passionate about because in my career as a coach and in my personal life, especially as a parent, I have the opportunity to be a strong role model and highly influential. And I don’t take that responsibility lightly. It’s an honor and a joy to help someone think differently and challenge them to live their best life. So I try to be very intentional and in integrity with my purpose when I am being an influencer. And honestly part of how I practice that is in doing the best I can to live by and role model the same high performance habits I teach others.
Over the next few weeks, our new series will be all about INFLUENCE. So please be sure you are subscribed to my newsletter. You can do that AND get free access to the replay of the training, “How to Thrive During Uncertain Times” by CLICKING HERE!
