People who really want to make a difference in the world realize that how they lead themselves is one of the greatest ways to influence a better future for all.
All growth is personal growth.
We are not islands or robots or machines to be programmed and reprogrammed. We are not vessels rife for the latest trends or beliefs according to the input we choose.
There is work to do.
Serious, fun, life-giving, transformative, meaningful, and intentional work.
Lorraine Richmond Leadership Coaching is committed to holding gutsy, authentic, accountable space for individuals or teams, who are willing, ready, and able to embrace the discomfort of personal growth and development SO THAT they can actualize the difference they want to make in our messy, beautiful world amid the stress, chaos and all-things beyond our control.
Lead yourself well.
Studies using brain imaging such as functional MRI suggest that our minds spend approximately 50% in time travel to the future.
If we spend up to 50% of our waking hours projecting the future (especially in light of politics, climate change, polarizing values, rising costs of shelter and food, ever-present loss, wars and rumors of wars etc) the dread and negative bias or conscious worry and stress will influence the health of our body, mind and brain (which will directly influence our leadership capacity).
Perhaps we might eek out a bit of wisdom from Charlie Brown's philosophy about our chosen thoughts for 'one day at a time'.
What we think about grows.
Thoughts that we nurture wire together to create default highways of thinking, being and behaving - all of which directly impacts our desired leadership outcomes.
Notice. Name. Choose.
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:
People may hear your words, but your actions and ways of being will be the louder communication.
Lead yourself well.
All growth is personal growth.
If everything is perfect about your work and life - don't change a thing.
If it interests you to be your favourite self in work and life - and you are keen to do the seriously fun work of personal growth and personal development in the messy middle of real life - let me know if you want to be added to the waitlist for the next coaching group in February 2025.
Based on some of the latest neuroscience and global coaching competencies, this personal development coaching group meets bi-weekly by zoom for 6 months. This attention and focus over time is intentionally designed so that the learning is embodied at a cellular level for long term success and sustainability. Cool, eh?
The days will pass anyway. Why not schedule personal time and personal responsibility for navigating change and positive growth for what matters most?
Lead yourself well.
