from ‘Powerful Wisdom from Leaders in the Field’  - Self and Collective Perception

 

Julie presents more information and advice from her featured chapter in the book ‘Powerful Wisdom from Leaders in the Field’ and in this episode explores both self-perception and collective perception.

Your self-perception, the belief or disbelief of your capabilities is an intrinsic part of any individual.

These beliefs form the foundation for human motivation, well-being and personal accomplishment so understanding how your self-perception is formed and that what has happened in the past does not have to define the future is key to meeting and accomplishing what you want in the future.

Julie explains exactly how we form our perception and why it’s vital we understand it in this fascinating episode, listen in and find out more.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Unless you believe your actions can produce the outcomes you desire you will have very little incentive to act or persevere when you face challenges.
• What you can achieve is governed by what your beliefs are about your capabilities rather than your actual level of accomplishments are.
• People can be both deluded about the level of their abilities, perceiving them to be higher than they are and there are also those who are gifted in an area but unable to recognise this in themselves.
• Your perceptions influence the behaviours you have and are not matched to your actual capabilities
• No amount of confidence and self-belief can compensate when a particular set of skills is required.
• If you can find the right mentor you will be accessing a short cut to where you want to be because they have already trodden the path that you aspire to be on.
• Collective perception
• Self-perception is both a personal and a social construct
• A group can develop collective beliefs in its abilities to accomplish tasks and attain goals
• The collective brainpower of a group equals more than the sum of its parts but this is only true when the group work together.
• Collectiveness creates a culture that needs to be managed and the power of other’s attitudes is far-reaching and will affect others.
• Work with people who have the same attitudes and your motivation will improve rapidly.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘The knowledge and skills you possess will play a role in what you believe you can achieve’

‘What is the reality of the situation and where are your beliefs coming from?’

‘Choose carefully, there are business mentors out there who have never run a business, their advice is based on the theoretical’

ABOUT THE HOST

Julie Hogbin

I started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.

 

In 2011 I threw everything up in the air and became a property investor via forex, trading and learning how to build websites & internet market whilst walking on fire 😊

 

I have worked with over 20,000 Leaders at every level of Management and Leadership for over 30+ years. In the latter years working with CEOs, SMTs, boards of trustees & Entrepreneurs.

 

I have worked with the public, the private and the entrepreneurial sectors of the market. The Leadership messages are the same across the sectors – the application may be different but all are Business’ where Conscious and Principled Leadership reaps rewards for all parties concerned.

 

I work with the human element of Business and my passion is enabling others to be the best they can be through providing them with the information they need to be more effective than they currently are. Unleashing potential and providing knowledge enabling the best decisions to be made for the Business, the Employee, the Leader (themselves) their families and the greater social economy.

 

I am a Coach, a Mentor (and I know the difference) Trainer, Author, property investor and public speaker

 

I love to travel, sunshine, smiley people, intelligent conversation, laughter, learning, networking, supporting others, property as a business, investigating ‘stuff’ problem solving, asking questions that make people think, creating aha moments, gardening and flowers and being outside.
