I used to get excited about change at least at the beginning. A new plan, a fresh start, a shift in direction it all felt inspiring… until it got hard. Recently, I learned what John Maxwell meant when he said, “Change is easy to propose, hard to implement, and most of all, painful to sustain.”… Continue reading Change Requires Additional Commitment
For a long time, I thought being “liked” was the most important part of leadership. Back then, I leaned on my personality my ability to connect, to keep things light, to be relatable. It worked… until it didn’t. When tough decisions needed to be made, when direction was unclear, people didn’t just need someone nice… Continue reading Don’t Let Personality Overshadow Purpose
You know, I used to think leadership was all about standing at the front, looking put together in a blazer, with a clipboard and a strong LinkedIn headline. You know — #BossEnergy kind of vibe. Until life, as usual, came with a plot twist. Not long ago, I found myself leading this small group, nothing… Continue reading Mirror Mirror in the Team…
Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you. I mean… some people won the lottery, some people inherited estates… but me, I'm grateful that I got a present Mom. And honestly, for me, that’s the real jackpot. Now, I know it sounds like, “Oh, okay, she just means her mom was around.”… Continue reading Being Present Not Just Physically
I remember the first time I was asked to lead a project I had no idea how to handle. I wanted to say “yes” so badly, but deep down, I knew I wasn’t ready not yet. I didn’t just lack confidence… I lacked competence. In today's reading, John Maxwell clearly reminds us once again of… Continue reading Competence
For years, I thought the best ideas came from “the experts” or the usual places books, conferences, the same trusted sources. But some of the best ideas I’ve ever had came from unexpected moments like a conversation with someone, sometimes even a stranger, a part in a movie, a random observation in a coffee shop,… Continue reading Look in Unusual Places for Ideas
There’s a saying which says, “Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future.” But I believe it’s also true in leadership…“Show me the people closest to a leader, and I’ll show you how far that leader will go.” In today’s chapter, once again John Maxwell teaches, “Those closest to the leader determine the… Continue reading Those Closest to the Leader
How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic? Well, I mean… at this point, I think we all deserve honorary PhDs in “Surviving Global Chaos 101.” Don't you agree? Seriously. If COVID-19 taught me anything, it’s that life can flip faster than pancakes on a hot Sunday morning and no… Continue reading Adapting to the Changes Brought on by the COVID-19 Pandemic. StoryTime…
There’s something powerful about private encouragement but there’s something delightful about public praise. I’ll never forget the first time a leader publicly complimented my work in front of the entire team. It was just a few words, but it made me stand a little taller, smile a little wider, and work a whole lot harder… Continue reading Compliment People in Front of Others
I’ll be honest rejection used to crush me. One “no” and I’d start questioning everything about myself. Was I not good enough? Was I wrong to even try? But then I came across what John Maxwell said in today's study that; “Rejection is an event, not a person.” Rejection isn’t a mirror reflecting our worth… Continue reading Don’t Take Rejection Personally
