The life-changing magic of gratitude and GONE
CEOs are no superheroes, despite what people may think. They don’t know all the answers. Instead, the best ask lots of questions about how they can continuously improve themselves, their leadership and their organisations. I highly recommend practising gratitude in order to gain perspective on your life and all the blessings that you have.
Harnessing the hidden talents of introverted leaders
When we think of a leader, what do we think of? Usually it’s not our more quiet companions, but a person who is outgoing, commanding and good at speaking in front of large groups. But interestingly, when we look back over the history of the US presidency, leaders haven’t always been as outgoing as Donald Trump.
What does your business boil down to?
Discovering what your business boils down to starts with finding your why. Why do you want to make certain improvements or make certain changes? Having a compelling reason for making changes to your leadership style, for example, will make it a lot easier when things get tough.
How to be resilient when the s**t hits the fan
Resiliency is the ability to bounce back after challenges and keep going when things are tough. As a leader, you must be prepared to experience difficulties and setbacks many times over the course of your career. Consider Christopher Reeve, the American actor who played Superman. At 42 he fell off his horse and was paralysed.
My Thoughts on How to Live a Purposeful Life
In The Complete Leader programme (which we are bringing to Ireland), I have decided that one of the areas that I need to work on is my empathetic skills. I’d like to share some thoughts that I had after reading the chapter on empathy in The Complete Leader book. The first is this: when somebody feels understood, they relax and feel more open to discussion, they feel less threatened and trust is built up. When trust is high, there are very few subjects you can’t discuss.
Signs You’re Going About Leadership in the Wrong Way
The Complete Leader programme is a tailored leadership programme that works. It helps leaders become clear thinkers, lead themselves and others and become authentic through developing competencies in the 25 leadership skills. These skills vary in importance at different points of a leader’s career.
How to Live Life on Your Own Terms
Great leaders face up to reality. I love Ron Price’s list of coaching questions from The Complete Leader. Ask yourself these questions to improve your capacity to think clearly, to lead yourself and others, to be authentic and deal with the facts. If you’ve been feeling listless lately, write out your to-do list, single out the essential two or three things you can do with your day and take action!
How to Become a More Empathetic Leader
One of the best things a leader can do for themselves is to learn to be more empathetic. Working on your empathy brings many positive side-effects, including more positive interactions with others and a greater level of tolerance and understanding.
How to be a Healthier, More Effective Leader
I was chatting to a client the other day and he had lost 11 kilos in 6/8 weeks, which is really quite remarkable. He lost it by cutting out bread and getting a personal trainer. We were talking about the effect it was having on his performance. I’ve been a long time believer in the Latin phrase ‘mens sana in corpore sana’, meaning a sane mind in a healthy body.
