Last week I talked about Aristotle's first virtue, Last week I talked about Aristotle's first virtue, courage. This week I wanted to move to virtue #2, self-control. As leaders, being able to tell ourselves "no" is necessary. I see the root of self-control as responsibility. Would it feel better to do exactly what we want when we want? Probably. However, when you're in a leadership position, you aren't only responsible for yourself. You must remember that you are setting the precedent for your team as the leader. Your actions and your attitude can spread like wildfire. Find the balance between enjoying life and over-indulging in desire, especially as you lead by example.
Throughout my years, I have always loved connectin Throughout my years, I have always loved connecting with people. Now I have the opportunity to help people connect with one another. There is great power in bringing people together, and that's what the goal of my keynote presentations is. I want to bring us together, bring your team together, and gift your team with the confidence, power, and know-how they need to connect with others. I would love to add some leadership insight to your next event. Get in touch today. I'll be seeing you all soon! Booking information is at the link in my bio!
Out of the 12 virtues introduced by Aristotle, the Out of the 12 virtues introduced by Aristotle, the first is courage. What does this mean in the scope of leadership? Courage in leadership is necessary. As a leader, you are put in the position where you are trailblazing, meaning the path ahead of you will not always (if ever) be clear. At the same time, people are looking up to you for guidance and counting on you to lead them in the right direction. People will say you're crazy for wanting to be in that position! I say, know that your courage does not go unnoticed! It took courage to step up into leadership, and it will always take courage to move forward into territories unknown.
There are a lot of things about leadership one doe There are a lot of things about leadership one doesn't understand until they are IN a leadership role. I can sit here and try to explain what being a leader means all day, but just like anything, you won't know until you gain that first-hand experience. For those of you in leadership roles now, what are some things you wish other people understood about your position as a leader? What are some things about leadership you wish you had known sooner? Let's discuss it in the comments. We are all here to learn, grow, and help where we can on #MissionLeadership.
Things like leadership look different for everyone Things like leadership look different for everyone. As a lot of you know, I place a lot of my leadership values in personal growth, empathy, and service to others. What is YOUR definition of leadership?

If you're anything like me, you've traveled many m If you're anything like me, you've traveled many miles through many storms. For me, it's just a part of living in the South. They've always said around here, "If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes!" It's true. Like bad weather, we can't always know when the bottom is going to drop out of the sky; however, we can prepare for the rain. Though we can't predict the power of the storm, we can prepare for the aftermath. Can you see the comfort in that? In life, even when we can't control the circumstances, we can always control how we pick up the pieces. There's something transformative about coming out on the other side of a storm.
Twenty years ago today, the unimaginable happened. Twenty years ago today, the unimaginable happened. Despite the years that have passed, the feelings from that day are still remembered by Americans across the nation. I would like you to join me in taking an extra moment of silence today for the families that lost their loved ones this day twenty years ago. I am sending an extra prayer for you all today.
