People often ask me what the secret "short cut" to personal and leadership success is. What's ONE thing they could DO to start moving in the right direction? If they were to do just one thing, what would I tell them?
Forced to pick ONE, I'd say it's about their "being"; how they "show up". Asked to elaborate, I'd pick three: being present, being congruent with their personal values, and leading their energy. Notice, ironically, that the "one" thing has surprisingly little to do with what they're "doing" (although, don't get me wrong, that's important), but rather much more to do with who they're "being"...And this has a surprisingly big impact on business:
And all of these things synergistically contribute to feeling good, making other people feel good, making honest decisions, building trust, and creating a business and life that is joyful and productive.
Bottom line? Presence, personal integrity, and energy have a direct impact on our leadership, personal effectiveness, and how we "show up", which impacts the actions we take, which impacts the results we get.

What's the energy of YOUR A-Game?
Have you ever thought about it?

The Energy of the Wolf - Part 3: So who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
In the first two parts I shared "the wolf you feed" and how these different "wolves" show up in our lives and organizations impacting energy, mindset and results.

The Economy May Be Bad…But What (Or Who) Is Really Sinking Your Team?
A vendor I have been working with was not her self last week. This is some of what I noticed: her energy was not there, she was short with me, and when I need help she said “it’s out of my control, my power has been taken away.” I left unexcited and connected to the company, bothered with my customer care person and the experience, deflated, and not wanting to go back. I left wondering if I needed to find another vendor.
