  • 03. Four commitments effective leaders must make to themselves

    When it comes to leadership, there's a lot of focus on the skills and qualities that make a great leader, but what's often overlooked is the importance of commitments that leaders make to themselves. To truly lead others, you must first lead yourself. And that means making commitments to yourself. These commitments are the foundation upon which all other leadership skills are built, and they're what set powerful leaders apart from the rest.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • A reflection on how we can apply toltec wisdom to grow as leaders and entrepreneurs (Reference: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz)
    • Why you should strive to “do your best” in business and why that may not look the way you think it should
    • The four sacred commitments that every leader must make to themselves
    • How to become aware of and accept who you are as a leader and how you are designed to lead
    • The importance of self-accountability, how it differs from being held accountable and how to develop or strengthen this habit
    • The different types of decision-making authority, how to identify yours and understand the role it plays in growing and sustaining your business
