How are you coping???

While my son is at the computer doing science, I just want to watch funny videos!

WHAT????!!

SELF-COMPASSION FOR WHAT IS...
#BraveLeaders

Virtually be seen, heard and understood. It works! And it’s a need!
#BraveLeaders

Fear can zap our ability to connect with each other. And yet, we all still have a great need to be seen, heard and understood.

First steps to take...

Today, I got stuck. Yup. Technology.
Almost let it stop me. Again.
But...did this instead.

Have you ever had someone say to you, Well, I didn’t know that, as if you were at fault?

For example, I am training my kids to bring their laundry upstairs once a week for cleaning. I’ve said it multiple times, announced the night to bring them up and I’ve even done it once.

Then, I do the laundry and items they wanted clean were left out. I remind them that I do laundry once a week and items need to be in the laundry room before the day I do them.

The answer I will get is..."Well, I didn’t know I had to bring them up?"

So, what happens next???

It could go a few ways...

WE CAN HAVE INFLUENCE WHENEVER WE WANT.

It takes courage to tell the truth. To be influential and make a difference.

But in the process, we create the life we want.

We’re all capable of it!

THE PROBLEM WITH "NO" IN CONVERSATIONS.

When I hear someone say "No" as part of our conversation, I shrink a little. "No" can also be communicated without even saying the word.

As someone deeply interested in how we best join, bond and develop rapport with others, I’ve been curious about this and have been paying particular attention to this with someone I know who says "No" a lot.

What I’ve learned is that, when it happens more than once or twice, I stop reflecting what I’ve heard the person say and/or tend to not ask followup questions.

I also shut down a part of me. I guard a bit. And I take less interest in the conversation.

Shall we explore...? Yes, let’s!

I WANT TO LIVE IN THE FLOW BUT BUT IT SEEMS I’M SWIMMING AGAINST THE CURRENT!

Without self-awareness, we can’t make the choices it takes to be in the flow.

Brave Leaders practice noticing, pausing and making choices.

WOMEN: To develop the mindset and practices needed to be your best and IN THE FLOW, I invite you to apply for the next Women’s Leadership Program, a 6-week interactive, online course launching February 6.

I’ve been a hard worker for as long as I can remember. A strength I am proud of. And...sometimes I take it too far. Being a mom has helped me see, enough really is enough.
