So many of us walk through life feeling a calling for something greater, a longing for a deeper connection to… something — but don’t know how to make it happen.
Maybe you feel lost or as if something is missing in your life? Or you want to make a bigger difference in the world, but you aren’t sure where to start?
“You’ll never stick to that exercise program, why do you even bother?”
You don’t cook healthy meals because you’re lazy. That’s why you always end up ordering take out.”
“You should really lose those 15… no, make it 20 pounds.”
Does this sound familiar?
If you’ve heard these phrases (or other ones like these) inside your head, you’re not alone… or crazy!
This is your inner critic, and it’s one of the ugly secrets many women feel carry that subconsciously keeps them stuck in their lives – even though many women don’t realize this is even occurring.
Most of us think of gratitude as being thankful or appreciative. But it’s deeper than that definition alone.
There are lessons in gratitude that help you build better relationships, improve your own mood, increase your happiness, and much more…
I adore that Steve Jobs quote because it says something so true about intuition.
Following your heart and listening to your intuition is BRAVE. It’s brave. It’s beautiful. It’s an act of courage.
As transformational leaders, we’re constantly seeking ways to increase our leadership power. And optimism, for business leaders, is as close to a “magic wand” as you can get!
No matter our leadership type, our mindset shapes not only our own personal performance, but also the way we influence the people we lead. It impacts our ability to guide our teams and companies through challenges, as well as to create a space that allow others to blossom – in any business environment.
And when optimism seems the furthest from our reach – that’s when we really need it the most to become effective leaders and fortify our leadership power.
An optimistic mindset is oriented toward creating solutions, collaborating with others, and uplifting, clear communication – the very things we need to navigate and succeed in difficult circumstances.
As with any skill needed to develop leadership power, optimism can be developed and strengthened.
I was blessed to be introduced to The Optimist Creed decades ago, and it is one of my favorite leadership books. In one of my first true leadership experiences, I struggled. I didn’t understand how to lead a team effectively, and my results showed. Because I was leading a sales team, and we didn’t hit our numbers, I was removed from the position and invited to return to my role as a salesperson.
I threw myself into studying leadership, and that’s when my mentor introduced me to The Optimist Creed. And I was amazed at how shifting my mindset translated into improved leadership skills and results. I’m convinced that optimism for leaders is one of your most valuable “secret weapons.”
Let’s review the 10 core principles of The Optimist Creed. They are presented as promises that you make to yourself.
