In this episode, which is part 20 of David´s CALM leadership series, he talks about managing your thoughts, an incredibly important part of leading yourself successfully. If you cannot lead yourself, it will never be possible to lead others effectively.

David shares 4 simple steps you can take to control your thoughts, which create your feelings and emotions that play into the decisions you make, and the actions you take. Controlling your thoughts is the key to everything, so this is a particularly important episode.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Everyone can control how they think and act.
• What you think about becomes what happens - what you do.
• At times you need to be a bit selfish to make sure you are strong enough to lead.
• Know who you are and who you want to be.
• You have to feed your mind. If you are filling it with dross and negativity, your thoughts will be rubbish too and in turn, so will how you act.
• Don’t become over-worried by what others think of you. Use the technique David shares to get the balance right.
• Take time out to observe how your thoughts are, then reframe things when you are thinking negatively or in an unbalanced way.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Great leadership starts with self.’

‘Who are you really?’

‘This ain´t about what other people think about you. This is about what you think.’

‘Observe, Flip and Flourish.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
