As leaders we never stop learning, do we?
We never stop developing our own growth and awareness.
We never stop being human.

Count it an unpretentious honour, a humble privilege and a meek blessing to influence others around you, by first influencing your own development and growth.

Notice and Name.
Lead yourself well.

Practicing the behaviour that you want others to follow, is on your shoulders. Let's call it agency and awareness and a life dedicated to leading yourself well.

Check in on your own behaviours:

• your balance between working hard and overworking
• the care of your mental health (including how you process grief and loss)
• how you carry the stress of circumstances beyond your control
• expectations of yourself to achieve, perform or get things 'perfect'
• your level of transparency in the messy middle
• how you care for your physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual well-being when you are off-grid

People may hear your words, but your actions and ways of being will be the louder communication.

Lead yourself well.

Courage is the tipping point of something better.
Courage is the bravery and willingness to take a stand against previously held negative or disempowering beliefs and actions.

• Facing what is just below the surface.
• Facing what is hovering around the edges of anxiety.
• Facing what is flickering in the fog.

Bringing it to awareness is a courage act of learning, growing, changing and moving thoughts to action.  Ultimately, repeated action is the gold of neuroplasticity and change at a cellular level.

It's all really quite brave, don't you think?
