Leadership is a CHOICE, not a title. This week in our Summer Learning series, we explored how to become the leader people need. What difference could it make if we recognize and honor the values and style of the people we work with? This week, step towards recognizing and honoring the people you work with by being curious. Ask a question to drive deeper conversations. Some examples include:  ❔What has felt really difficult this week? ❔What successes did you have this week and how can I help showcase them? www.innerwill.org #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #valuesbasedleadership

Summer reading is always a favorite conversation amongst our team! 📚 What books have you enjoyed most so far? Share your recommendations below, we’d love to hear from you! #summerreading #leadership #valuesbasedleadership

It’s official! We are all settled into our new space and look forward to hosting clients soon. Don’t worry, we didn’t move far. We’re just next door to our old space on Stone Mill Drive. We want to take a moment to thank our multi-talented Director of Operations, Sharon Amoss who led this important project. Our space is a beautiful representation of our culture and values and includes a state of the art classroom, conference rooms, offices, a kitchen, networking space, and a beautiful outdoor patio with tables and chairs.

Wellbeing is a critical component to effective leadership and goes way beyond just our physical health. Strengthening physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, financial and social wellbeing can drive performance, fulfillment and engagement. Yet, many of us don’t know where to start when it comes to focusing on our own wellbeing. May we suggest starting by leaning into your core values? When you place core values at the center of your approach, they will act as a filter when making wellbeing-related decisions, and help build a long-term plan --- setting you up for success when it comes to achieving your wellbeing goals. This summer, be intentional about your personal core values and how they relate to your wellbeing. Use them to guide your choices and actions to become a more resilient leader!

Data suggests that 2024 marks "Peak 65" - with approximately 4.1 million Americans turning 65 this year, and every year through 2027. While organizations offer professional development opportunities at different stages of an employee's career, most programs stop prior to an associates’ final transition out of the workforce. We're excited to offer organizations an opportunity to help their associates take intentional steps towards retirement. Our Reinvention not Retirement program is designed to help participants chart a meaningful path forward by answering important questions about their future and their legacy. If your organization would like to learn more, please contact Michaela Ranaldi Bearden at michaela.bearden@innerwill.org. #retirement #innovation #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #valuesbasedleadership

In the spirit of Independence Day, how are you celebrating independent thinking within your teams and organizations? A big challenge in organizations is juggling the tension between independence and being a team player. As leaders, we have to cultivate strong, effective teams and find that just right place between independence and teamwork. The best leaders are able to help people do both. It’s integral that everyone is encouraged to voice their unique perspectives and stay true to their values and purpose while at the same time connecting with and leading in alignment with the shared values and goals of the team. Teams are only as strong as the sum of their parts, and independent thinkers can help push teams to find creative solutions by challenging the status quo. High performing teams welcome independent thinkers and developmental feedback, and the most successful leaders know how to leverage independence to build great teams that drive innovation and growth. Finding the balance between independence and teamwork and embracing both is key and will help you and your team unlock your amazing potential! Happy Fourth of July. 🇺🇸 #leadership #independentthinking
