Our perception can truly become our reality.  In some cases, this can take us, or our colleagues, down a road of negativity if we are not careful.  Our perception can turn the smallest things into major wedges driven between us and co-workers or bosses or even in our personal lives.  Today, I talk about how that happens, share some stories, and give you the steps to overcome the issue.  If you enjoy the episode, be sure to subscribe and share!

Whether you hold the actual title of a "leader" or not... you have an impact on people.  If you are in a leadership position, your behavior 100% affects those that follow you.  What you place an emphasis on is exactly what they will find important.  You want your team to behave, act, work in a certain way... you need to model those behaviors.  Today's episode is all about leading by example.
