May 02, 2020 What Kind of Leader Are You?
"Strengthen Your Leadership Series."
This set of episodes is a companion to the free email course that Karl Bimshas Consulting offers. You can sign up for it by going to bit.ly/STRENGTHENYOURLEADERSHIP
Strengthen Your Leadership so that you can lead yourself, your team, tribe, organization, or business through these unusual times. The world needs stronger leadership, and I know you want to be a better leader.
Everyone defaults to a certain leadership style. This can be based on a combination of nature and nurture. You'll be informed by your upbringing, your teachers, and the bosses you've had, both good and bad, your culture, the values you believe in, and so much more. But have you ever thought about what kind of leader you are? A quick self-awareness assessment will shed some light.

Leading in Unusual Times
Question: “As a leader, where do I put my focus right now?”
As a leader, I think over the next 18 to 24 months, realistically, in my opinion, there are four areas you should be putting your attention on because there are four threats that we're facing.
Physical Health

Mental Health

Financial Health

Societal Health.

Identify which stage you're in and then take action to move on to the next one.
Stage 1 is Loss to Safety

Stage 4 is Discovery to Perspective

Stage 5 is Understanding

Stage 6 is Integration

February 24, 2020Troll or Leader?
Before you post something online from behind the safety of your keyboard, ask yourself if your contribution is educating, entertaining, or otherwise enlightening people, or if you are acting like a troll.
Ways to Get off the Keyboard

Start a fundraiser

Call your representatives

Join a committee

Volunteer

Start a cleanup

Talk to your neighbors

Be KIND

Have EMPATHY

Be COMPASSIONATE

Love your community

Do not bully, and stop being an a-hole

January 05, 2020 What’s Your Theme?
If you’re still not sure of your purpose or how to best contribute your time treasure or talents to 2020, I recommend taking a deep breath and giving yourself a break. You don’t have to succumb to the pressures of unrealistic resolutions or big goals you don’t yet have the confidence in accomplishing. Plan your life quietly and get to work. If you’re lost, make finding your purpose, your purpose. Aim for something optimistic and fun.
