You've heard it said, 'what you focus on will grow'.
You've heard it said 'what you focus on repeatedly, day in and day out, will grow'.

Think about your lived experience to date:
* You've experienced what it is to focus on a worry, and have the worry grow.
* You've experience what it is to focus on fear, and have the fear grow.
* You've experienced what it is to focus on a goal, and taste the outcome of that goal.

As you focus on your deeply-held core values, meaningful purpose, your highest priorities and 'why' the desired new reconstructed neural connection is important - neuroplasticity will support the reframe, rewire and redirect process of lasting change.

Ways of being and ways of thinking have been shaped in your brain, body and mind over time and repetition (consciously, subconsciously or nonconsciously).

Leadership and neuroplasticity can be directed to be the best of friends in a dynamic, evolving world of work and life.

Lead yourself well.

Be there.
Full present to the other.
Without judgement or pretense.
Without fault-finding or fixing.
Listening deeply.
Listening to what is said and what is unsaid.
Listening to the visible and the invisible.

Creating respectful space for next steps to surface, be processed in unhurried time and access wisdom for a unique journey and situation.
True listening is a gift we can offer one another.

Notice.
Name.
Choose.

Lead yourself well.

It's almost impossible (or IS it impossible) to focus on something that is unclear.

How will you focus on 'what matters' when you have not clearly defined what matters?
How will you focus on your values and purpose when you can not clearly articulate your core values and meaningful purpose?

How will you focus on what you can control if you do have not realistically identified what is in your control and what is not in your control?

How will you consciously unlink thought patterns and behaviours that are sabotaging your definition of a meaningful work and life, when you are not taking time to notice the thoughts that are fueling your behaviours?

I believe these are legit questions.
I believe this is worthy work for anyone who wants to actively equip, inspire or influence a better tomorrow.

Today. This week. Again.
Notice. Name. Choose well.

A reminder and a double-click.

"Where attention grows, neural firing flows and neural connection grows.: (Quote by Daniel Siegel)

Leadership development, personal growth, meaningful and positive change does not happen by accident, osmosis or magic. Meaningful change and growth happens by a delicious choice of grit.
Focus on seeing the alternative.
Determination
Perseverance.
Tenacity.
Fortitude.
Resolve.
Courage.
Steadfastness.

Leadership development, personal growth, meaningful and positive change does not happen by accident, osmosis or magic. Meaningful change and growth happens by a delectable choice of actions for a better tomorrow.
Focus on seeing the best in yourself and in others.
New metaphors.
Solid grounding practises.
Releasing current narratives and perspectives.
Making healthier choices every single day.
Practising how you want to be.
Mourning for what is lost.
Daydreaming of deeply longed-for aspirations.
Meeting new people.
Meditation and prayer.
Reacquainting yourself with your sense of humour, lightness and ease.

Grab one thought / action that is you want to change. Pay attention to it in thought and action for 63 days.
Intentionality and focus over time will serve to rewire what you have embodied, at a cellular level.

This is lasting, sustainable change.
