Hey everyone:Thanks for tuning in to our call on Creative Gratitude. So important to have your brain notice what's right about your life, instead of what's wrong. Remember, Creative Gratitude:

Confirms that others matter.

Releases from the past.

Strengthens connection.

Infuses with energy.

You can't be mad, upset, self-pitying, or envious when you're grateful--and it takes daily PRACTICE.Have a grateful week!

Hello team! Yes, I am alive and well, and am excited to be back with you. Earlier, on our call, we discussed Status--and 3 ways to gain it. The main idea: Status elevates your opportunity to make a difference.

 

If you missed the call, have a listen to the recording. In your offices, it would be great to discuss these questions:

 

How do we earn status?

How might leaders help others gain status?

Hey everyone!

 

Thanks to those of you who could join us live today on our leadership call. We discussed 7 Ways to Elevate Leadership through Gratitude.

 

The Boston Consulting Group reports that the number one factor in employee happiness is appreciation for their work.

 

Unexpressed gratitude is ungratefulness. But expressing gratitude elevates everyone, including you! Discuss:

Which gratitude tip could you put into practice?

What prevents leaders from expressing gratitude?

Have a grateful week!

Hey everyone!

 

Thanks for tuning in today. if you didn't, here is the recording. I talked about how to eradicate self-doubt as a leader. We discuss a series of questions to make you curious instead of fearful, and then went on to talk about the content of a good book, called Why People Don't Believe You, by Rob Jolles. 

 

Here is the link...https://tinyurl.com/y9wqgf3m

 

Now, make time to discuss how you as leaders can develop strategies to win over self-doubt and build confidence.

 

Until next week!

Hey all:

 

Thanks for taking time to tune in to our final call on Maxwell's Developing the Leader Within You 2.0! Here are some thoughts to think about and discuss:

 

What must I do to adopt a learner's attitude? Make a decision to learn something new every day.

 

Develop a growth strategy. Where do I need to focus my growth?

 

How will I measure it? 

 

How can I grow daily? What is my routine? 

 

Paul Harvey said, "You can tell you're on the road to success because it is uphill all the way."

 

Keep winning!

Thanks for tuning in today. We hit a very important subject: self-discipline: the price tag of leadership.

 

What a great thing to build into your life! What a great attribute to continue to develop in your life....there are no leaders who do not have this trait! In other words, every leader has self-discipline.

 

So keep fighting the good fight. Winning is ALL UPHILL--you cannot coast to success. If you missed our call, hit the links below. Have a self-disciplined week. Remember the Philippines Appreciation Month!

Hey all:

 

Today we talked about the importance of Vision to our success as leaders. If you want to be a good leader, you need to see "more & before" others. Not all of us are commanding a company or a department or a team, but all of us need to have future vision.

 

Do you have a vision for your career and for your life? Is it clear or foggy? In your group discussion (assuming you have one) share your vision for the future with each other.

 

Also think about "who luck"...who do you know that you can learn from? Who can expand your horizons? Who can help you develop? Something to think about.

 

2 chapters in our book to go! Get excited and have a great week!

Hey team!

 

Thanks to those of you who could make it on our call regarding Ch 7: Service--the Heart of Leadership.

 

So many questions Maxwell posed; so many quotes to ponder...one of my favorites from Zig Ziglar: "If you help other people get what they want, they will help you get what you want."

 

True! So how are you doing being service-minded? How would you grade yourself? Do you have blind spots that need to be addressed? Is there someone on your team you would consider service-minded? Ask them how they have adopted this attitude/heart change.

 

So adopt a tennis attitude: go serve!

Greetings Winners!

 

We continued our discussion into a Whatever It Takes attitude. Remember, failure is our friend, our teacher (provided we learn from it and try again). There is no failure, only feedback.

 

Try to begin your gratitude journal this month--for a solid month, write down one thing you're grateful for in the morning; at night, add to it. One month. Grow your attitude of gratitude.

 

Also practice the 24-hr Rule: celebrate your successes or cry over your failures with a time limit--24 hrs.! Then move on.

 

Success often asks the question, "What am I getting?" Improvement always asks, "What am I becoming?"

Hey everyone!

 

Our journey through Maxwell's Developing the Leader Within You 2.0 took us into Chapter 6: The Extra Plus in Leadership--Attitude!

 

We talked about the absolute importance of having a Whatever It Takes Attitude. Do you have one? Maxwell says this is vital to leaders--to stay focused on what you want, and to make it happen.

 

Questions we highlighted:

--what do I really want?

--what will it cost?

--am I willing to pay the price?

--when should I start paying the price?

 

More next week!
