Empowered women understand that leadership doesn't come from a title or position. They understand that leadership is influence and the ability to influence others and be a leader is born out of leading themselves first.
5. 3 Mindsets To Avoid If You Want To Gain
Credibility As Leaders.
1. “I MUST BE COMFORTABLE.”
Practicing self-leadership
requires a woman to step
up, and step out of her
comfort zone. As you
expand the size of your
comfort zone so too will
you grow as a person.
6. 2. “I MUST BE LIKED.”
Seeking the approval of
others or the other
extreme – intentionally
rebelling against others’
opinions in order to be
liked is NOT purpose-
driven, but opinion-
driven.
7. 3. “I MUST WIN.” or “I MUST BE RIGHT”
If you think that to win, you must lose or to be
right, you must be wrong. Both mindsets function
from the premise of satisfying the ego – it doesn’t
come from a powerful place where you first serve
others or put the needs of the organization above
yours.
8. How can women be the
“right you”?
Being the right you is about authenticity. And the
first step is to be aligned with who you are. As you
align your strengths and purpose in life, other
aspects of your life will fall into place effortlessly
9. 5 Questions Will Help You On Your
Journey To Discovering Your Purpose
1. What do you do best? It
could be natural talents or
skills that you feel
confident and at ease with.
10. 2. What makes you feel
good? What do you enjoy
doing? What makes you feel
fantastic about yourself?
When you engage in a
particular activity, be aware
of your response to that
activity. Do you feel fulfilled,
or is it merely something you
do out of obligation?
11. 3. Ask for feedback.
Those who are closest to
you know you best. They
know how you will react
to a situation, your
highlights, and your blind
spots. Ask them to be
honest in their
assessments.
12. 4. Define and refine. Once
you discover your purpose,
it’s important to define and
continuously refine your
mission. Don’t expect
changes overnight, because
it will take some time to reap
the benefits of the new you.
Ask yourself, if I am the CEO
of my own organization,
would I follow me?
13. 5. Set accurate priorities.
Determine and define the
most important things you
need to accomplish each
day. The first daily priority
has to be you! Once you
begin your days focusing on
you, you gain clarity on how
to align your day with your
purpose and mission.
