The calendar is counting down as we gather with family, friends and co-workers during this Holiday Season. Whether you’re traveling to see family, celebrating with friends and enjoying Holiday parties with co-workers - we know there are many different story lines, personality preferences, diverse ways of seeing and understanding, and varying thoughts, views and opinions when interacting with others.
Our Leadership Coaching support is more than wishing you, “Good Luck,” as you engage and navigate your conversations - Our Leadership Coaching reminder is:
“You ALWAYS have the POWER to DECIDE
how you want to lead yourself when interacting with others.”
Last week we mentioned the most helpful question to ask when new tasks and responsibilities come up within your team:
is this urgent or is this important?
In fact, that question was posed earlier this year in a cohort we were coaching through The Engagement Blueprint. The question reinforced how important it is to ask – it’s on everyone’s mind when given a new task, project or goal.
It’s likely that most of the work you do is very important. At the same time, it may or may not be urgent. Click here for a quick coaching video on how to discern. Considering the time of day you have your best energy may influence how urgent a certain task, project or goal is. Considering your energy will help you to prioritize so you can utilize your mindset, behaviors and strategy within your peak performance times. (Note: we all have peak performance times.)
YOU are Essential
Who you are … MATTERS. Allow this simple sentence to sink in. Who you are .... MATTERS.
Within the circles I follow and engage on social media from hospitality, leadership, self-development and self-care, fitness, healthy eating and inner peace – the theme of “valuing ourselves” and taking this time to recognize what we truly value, is a consistent message.
