In life, we often spend an abundance of time carin In life, we often spend an abundance of time caring for our families, following our dreams, and planning for the future. We often forget to slow down and check in on one another. If you're anything like me, you travel here, there, and everywhere on the regular. After spending so much time on the go, it can be hard to stop and smell the roses. Here's your reminder to pause, take a deep breath, and reflect on something you are thankful for. What are you grateful for and why? #WeekdayPause
Everyone makes mistakes, big and small, and that's Everyone makes mistakes, big and small, and that's okay! The good news is that problems find a good friend in solutions. There are not many problems you will face in life that are incapable of being solved or impossible to make better.
There is one thing that we possess whose presence There is one thing that we possess whose presence makes a difference and that is raw, unfiltered passion. When we harness the ability to drive our lives with what we love, we lead with love. That intersection is where change is made.
This week, I want you all to choose a book to add This week, I want you all to choose a book to add to your collection. It doesn't matter if you pick up a copy online, go to a bookstore, or download it to your phone or tablet, as long as you add a book to your reading list. Reading is one of the easiest ways to grow yourself as a person. Books open you up to a whole new world of people, places, things, thoughts. Now, I like a good nonfiction or self-development book. They are my way of connecting and understanding the experience of others while taking a little extra care of myself. That being said, I've made you all a list of some of my recommendations. Link in bio. Leave your recommendations in the comments. I'd love to add some new books to my list! Happy reading, friends!
I couldn't imagine saying it better myself. As m I couldn't imagine saying it better myself. As much as we need to stand up and speak out about what we believe, it is absolutely necessary to sit down and listen to the lived history, life stories, opinions, and understandings of others. Our perception of the world should never be through a single lens. Start paying attention to how often you're speaking versus the amount of time you're listening.
This week's leadership challenge is one I expect e This week's leadership challenge is one I expect every last one of you to do: reply with something nice and thoughtful on someone's post online. Why do I want you to do this? So you can actively practice kindness in a place riddled with unkindness. I see all of your comments every time I post to social media and am continuously reminded that I'm surrounded by wonderful people. Those little bits of kindness bless me every time y'all take the time to share them with me. Today, I want you to give that kindness to someone else, to recognize goodness somewhere you may not typically see it. It only takes a minute or two to comment something kind, but you never know the power of its impact. #MissionLeadershipChallenge
You must actively chip away at whatever stands bet You must actively chip away at whatever stands between you and your goals if you wish to achieve success. Dreams are only dreams until you start actively working toward them. Have it in your heart, the desire to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals!
To help a team understand what will work for them, To help a team understand what will work for them, a good leader must first know themselves. What makes a good leader? Good leaders are introspective. Good leaders are empathetic. Good leaders know that problem-solving is multi-dimensional. Good leaders are slow to conclusions. Good leaders are quick to help. Good leaders get people from here to there. Good leaders listen. Leave a comment below.
