Today's quote:

Once you accept your flaws, no one can use them against you.  -- Tyrion Lannister. 

We are flawed imperfect creations, and in leadership when we allow our negative self-beliefs to thrust us into imposter syndrome, or worse prevent us from trying we stunt our potential. It's time to own our flaws and triple down on what makes us great, which is where will have the greatest impact and legacy!

"A thank-you note is more than enough." Do you prefer sending handwritten thank-you notes? Or do you prefer sending it through emails?

Today, we talk about the importance of writing thank-you notes. Saying “ thank you” for acknowledging one’s hard work, superior performance or diligence can change everything.  It helps someone build loyal followers, be more professional, and most importantly it develops a leader that sees her people.

Tune in to this episode and start writing your thank-you notes.

New series, Mid-Week Mindset!

Quote: "We are not our best intentions; we are what we do." -- Amy Dickinson

We must fight to judge ourselves by our actions rather than our intentions and always own our 1% even when they are 99% wrong. 

Additionally, before setting out and taking risks, we must count the cost, properly plan, and communicate thoroughly up and down the chain! 

Do you always assume the best in people? Or are you doing the opposite?  Sometimes we’re bound to just assume the worst in people because of our experiences in life but wouldn’t it be amazing if everyone just assumes the best in others? Be positive in the things that you do and think about and you’ll see how it will amazingly affect your life. Don’t be cynical because it’ll cause so much harm in your life.

Registration closes tonight at Midnight Eastern!

Be interested before you try to be interesting! The first step to building influence is to level up at hunting for common ground with the people you encounter. Learning to ask great questions cuts through the anxiety many of us feel, and can help those of us that have a tendency to appear self-centered.

The words you speak have power!

Today, we talk about the importance of what you say towards yourself or other people. The way we speak to ourselves has an enormous effect on our confidence and leadership. Don’t use self-deprecating words to mask what you feel, instead talk positively to yourself, and you’ll see how it empowers you. 

It’s critical to learn how to love yourself to achieve your goals!

Grand gestures don't erase bad habits!  Today we talk about how to level up in small ways that make a HUGE difference.  

In this episode, I get into how we can make people feel valued using minute adjustments that cost virtually nothing in time, effort and energy.   This is a critical skill to anyone coaching or leading up, down, and laterally!
