The Process of Self-Leadership

​

Episode 33 talks about the importance of focusing on self prior to publicly leading.

Remember the 2012 Atlantic article titled, "Why Women Can't Have it All" written by Anne Marie Slaughter? That article was read by more than 3 million women who somehow bought into the notion that women cannot have it all. Since then, there has been much hoopla about the topic with hundred of articles telling women why they can't have it all. Episode 32 of Ask Y Podcast by Dr. Yetunde challenges this very notion by asking, "Who says you can't have it all?"...according to who?

Episode 31 of Ask Y Podcast with Dr. Yetunde talks about learning how to identify different relationships and where to properly place people in your life. We misuse and loosely label people as friends when in fact they should be categorized differently. Episode 31 helps you to differentiate between associates, colleagues, confidants, friends and admirers. Everyone serves a different purpose in our lives and we should be careful not to expect the qualities of a friend from someone who may not have the capacity or intention to deliver on such expectations.

Ever look back at a terrible decision you've made and wonder, "What was I thinking?" Well, there's actually a chance you weren't thinking. Instead, you may have acting on emotion, not logic. In episode 30, Dr. Yetunde talks about how we tend to make wrong decisions in the midst of a "moment." She provides 4 ways that often cloud judgment and rational decision making. In order to create a habit of making sound and effective decisions, one must be able to balance logic and emotion. #askypodcast #dryetunde #selfhelp #puttingyourbestselfforward

You've probably heard the saying "Jack of all trades, master of none." It implies that by trying to learn many things, you give up mastery of any of them. However, I think that is a lie! Like Quora designer David Cole says, "You don't have to pick between being great at one thing or just mediocre at many things." Listen to episode 29 of ASK Y podcast to find out my reasons why I think the phrase Jack of all trades, master of none is bogus.

Episode 28 of ASK Y Podcast titled, Build Anyway is inspired by the Paradoxical Commandment developed by Dr. Kent Keith. Episode 28 encourages people to continue building, creating, giving, enjoying, forgiving anyway! No matter how many times people may knock you down, duplicate overnight what you have struggled years to create, destroy what you worked hard to build...continue building anyway. Because in the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway. #build anyway # askypodcast #dryetunde #puttingyourbestselfforward

Episode 27 of ASK Y Podcast talks about stepping outside of your comfort zones.

What is your message to the world? What do people feel when they come in contact with you? What do they hear about you before meeting you? Everyday we communicate who we are to the world. In addition, we communicate what our individual message is to the world by something so simple as liking a post, sharing an article, posting a picture and by our daily activities. What is your message? How you live your life is your silent message to others, and it touches people in ways you’ll never even know. This comes across in your actions toward others, but also in how you approach your everyday life. Does how you're living your life communicate what you want the world to know about you or you struggling to find ways to present your most authentic self to the world? Listen to EP. 26 as Dr. Yetunde guides people on honing and finding their individual message to the world.

"Is the glass half empty or half full?" is a common expression, used to indicate that a particular situation could be a cause for optimism (half full) or pessimism (half empty), episode 25 of ASK Y Podcast titled, "Glass Half Full" helps people to look at life in a more optimistic way. But just because you can always find lots of reasons for feeling down and becoming a bona fide pessimist doesn’t mean that you should. The fact is, optimism creates opportunity and pessimism kills it. Episode 25 provides great tips on how to become more optimistic in life. #glasshalffull #optimism #askypodcast #itunes #soundcloud #dryetunde #selfhelppodcast
