What Do You Want To Be Better At In 2023?

What is it you want to have done when we turn the calendar into 2023?

Who do you want to be when 2023 hits?

Could waiting be too late?

Today, November 1, 2022 we have 61 days until 2023.

What can you do over the course of the next 61 days to get to where you want to be?

What can you do for just 15 minutes each day 61 times to help you get there?

Give 15 minutes a day. It will likely turn into more but make it your goal to give at least 15 minutes per day to a task or toward self improvement.

To get what you want you will have to do what you have not done before.

Small steps done repeatedly over time can accomplish big things.

Start today.  Schedule it.  Stick to it. 

Contact me if you want some help and accountability. 

I’m cheering for you.

Clear The Path

As a leader you have a lot of responsibilities but one of the most important is that of clearing a path for people to do what they have been hired to do.

We are approaching that time of year in the Midwest where we will need the snowplow to clear the roads of snow so we can get around on the roads and streets.

The snowplow driver will clear the roads but they won’t hop out of the truck and then drive us through the path they have made.

They are just making it easier for us to go where we want to go. They often times anticipate the storm and are out before the storm even comes.

Think of leadership in the same way.

As leaders we should work to remove the big obstacles that may keep our people from being able to do what they are wanting to do. We clear the path and then let them do what they were hired to do and capable of doing.

Be out in front. Anticipate the storms, clear the path and then watch them go.

I’m cheering for you.

Why Do They Come To You

If you are a leader you have many different conversations throughout the day. Again, let’s clarify that everyone is a leader. Some have a title but we are all leading.

So why will people come and talk to you? Why do they send you an email, a text, or make a phone call to talk?

Is it because of your title? A few of the questions, the surface level questions, may be because of the title, but for the meaningful conversations the answer is a resounding NO.

People don’t reach out to you because of what you do, they will come to you because of who you are.

They will reach out and want to have the meaningful conversations because they know they won’t get what you can give them anywhere else.

Reminder for the day.  It’s not your title or what you do, it’s who you are that matters most to people.

I’m cheering for you.

Small Things Done Over Time

The setting in this picture, the Grand Canyon, is beautiful.  The beauty that you see and exoerience here didn’t just happen overnight.  The same can be true of your leadership impact and influence.

Don’t be discouraged if it feels like your day is not filled with wow moment after wow moment.

The significance of your leadership impact is often built on the little things that you do consistently day in and day out.

The way you greet people, the tone of your voice, the smile on your face.  Things like this pour out of who you really are and matter. Be aware of them and work on them as needed.

All of the little things that are part of your character will add up to make you a leader of impact and influence every day.

I’m cheering for you.
