‘There are three levels of persevering in leadership: Commitment will get you to the starting line. Consistency will get you to the finish line. Persistency will get you through the finish line. Leaders need to persevere through the inevitable ups and downs in their organization’s journey, in order to move through the finish line. What values and strategies do you need to communicate to your team that will allow them to persist through the finish line?’ (J.Maxwell) Which level are you working on? Now you know what to practice to become a better leader.

Gratitude: Idea #377
‘After being diagnosed with a brain tumor, C**** noticed how much of the talk around facing cancer is dominated by the language of fighting. She found that this metaphor quickly started to feel exhausting. She “didn’t want to spend over a year at war with [her] own body.” Instead, what she found most helpful were daily practices of gratitude – for the team of professionals caring for her and for the ways her brain and body were showing healing. She experienced firsthand that no matter how difficult the struggle, practices of gratitude can help us resist depression and “wire our brains to help us build resilience.”’ (M.L.Rose) Focus on gratitude to build resilience.

Approach: Idea #376
For some of us, we may be navigating difficult changes or an uncertain future. Realize that ‘Sometimes good things fall apart, so better things can fall together.’ (J.Howell) Perhaps the change you’re going through will lead to something even better. What’s important is how you approach this change. ‘Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don’t have to sit on it.’ (J.Meyer) In other words, we don’t need to focus on the negative aspects of change, but realize the change can be beautiful when we use it in a better way. This approach to change is how you grow professionally, so join me in looking at the cactus as a beautiful plant.
