THE STRUGGLE IS REAL
We’ve all been there.
Trying to move forward on an important project- for work or just for yourself. And then experiencing those oh-so-familiar roadblocks. Fears about what other people will think. Worries that it won’t quite make the mark. Insecurities about your ability to make a meaningful contribution. Frustrations about time, or limited resources, those pesky naysayers or critics (in real life or just the characters in your head!).
Or maybe you’ve been in a slightly different place. We’ve all been here too:
Those times there seems to be more lows, or challenges to your health or personal life than you’d like to admit. Chronic fatigue. Health challenges. Feeling lost, or unsure about your purpose. Feeling less connected or vibrant in your relationships. Experiencing ongoing frustration with co-workers or collaborators.
So if we’ve all been there, what separates those who just keep flailing (despite their sincere desire and efforts) and those who are seemingly able to rise above it all? Those people who’re able to connect, making meaningful changes, and experience an almost contagious sense of grounded well-being and vitality?
SELF-LEADERSHIP
The difference is simply this: self-leadership. Self-leadership is the ability to keep your highest self in the driver’s seat of your life, most of the time.
Self-leadership is the ability to keep your highest self in the driver’s seat of your life, most of the time.
If you have strong self-leadership skills, you’re able to navigate the highs and lows of work and life with flexibility, adaptability, and resilience. You’re able to make meaningful changes in your health, your personal life, and in your work/life balance. You’re able to show up as your best self- especially when the going gets tough. And you reliably show up in a trustworthy way in all of your relationships.
Self-leadership is…
-
- The common thread amongst people who are highly successful in their personal and professional lives.
- The foundation and prerequisite for leading others well.
- The set of skills needed to thrive in all areas of our lives – body, mind, relationships, and work.
