Online Studio Session with Dr. John C. Maxwell ^Get better before you go bigger. ^(@ 20min mark)- Work on improving your strengths, what you are good at doing. Find what your good at and build it. Culture has taught the opposite, work on weakness. ***When you work on your strengths you greatly improve yourself than if work on your weaknesses.****

Impact Leadership Dec. 2023 FREE Replay link until Jan. 14 Chris Hodges – Session 3 -the stages of decline  -The lies people believe in each stage of decline  -The antidote  1. Hubris & egotism (Hubris-great amt of foolish or pride masked by personality or confidence. At first, likable person, they are fun or entertaining)  A. Lies: ‘I'm doing fine’, ‘I know best’, ‘It happens because of me’  B. Antidote: Humility and Altruism (unselfish regard devotion and welfare of others) - Beginning every day, it's not about me. Be grateful, pause, reflect. (Great leaders) ...channel their ego needs away from themselves and into the larger goal...It’s not that Level 5 leaders have no ego or self-interest. Indeed, they are incredibly ambitious-but their ambition is first and foremost for the institution, not themselves.”- Jim Collins  Not you're not just good, you are gifted. A gift that was given to you. It can be taken away with unchecked pride.  2. Life mismgmt & bad habits  A. Lies: ‘I'll get to it later’, ‘What harm could it do’, ‘I can handle it’  B. Antidote: Meaningful purpose & routine -structure creates calm. Purpose defines your life; routines help you live it out. New routines will reboot your emotions, it takes 3-6 weeks to make it a habit. All is well that begins well, not all is well that ends well.   3. Indulgence & compromise – Indulgence is what you allow yourself.  A. Lies: ‘I can’t help myself’, ‘Not hurting anything or anyone’, ‘I work hard, I deserve this reward’  B. Antidote: Boundaries & Right Choices. - pre decide. Makes you more successful, make a decision ahead and a plan for that walking out that decision.  “Be proud of your choices, not your gifts”- Jeff Bezos  Choices lead, feelings follow.  Dr. John C. Maxwell, “Today Matters”  > I will  choose & display right attitudes  determine & act on important priorities  Know & follow healthy guidelines  Communicate & care for my family  Practice & develop good thinking  Make & keep proper commitments   Earn & properly manage finances  Deepen & live out my faith in Jesus Christ  Initiate & invest in solid relationships  Plan for & model generosity  Embrace &practice good values  Seek & experience improvements   4. Isolation & Secrecy – I am my own worst counselor.  A. Lies: ‘I don’t need ppl’, ‘Can handle on my own’, ‘Don't owe an explanation’  B. Antidote: Honesty and accountability   Ecclesiastes 4:8-12 – There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil...Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.  5. Sabotage(self) - no antidote, you are already there.  A. Lies: ‘I don’t know what happened’, ‘Wasn't my fault’, ‘They don't understand’   

Three qualities that I believe are most important to develop in your career: 1️⃣ Being okay with the worst possible outcome. If you know that you will be okay no matter what, and don’t allow barriers or restrictions to get in your way, you’ll be able to navigate the ups and downs that come with building a career. 2️⃣ Use Your Voice. Don’t allow your silent participation in discussions to lead others to think that you agree with the dialogue. Stay true to what’s important to you and express your opinion. 3️⃣ Be the author of how you will be remembered. Your narrative is your story. Take the time, and be purposeful and thoughtful, about defining and developing your personal leadership brand. Learn more in my interview with Bold Journey at https://lnkd.in/ehQBDCSh.

Fatherhood has tremendously shaped my approach to leadership, especially in my role as Sales Manager at DOCOMO PACIFIC. Having two young kids has taught me that compassion isn’t just a soft skill; it's the cornerstone of effective leadership.   In sales, it’s easy to get caught up in targets and numbers, but through fatherhood I’ve learned that there is so much importance in being able to see beyond that. It has taught me to lead with kindness and listen to the needs of each team member with empathy. Being a father has made me more patient, more understanding, and more supportive of my team through both their professional and personal challenges. As a result, it has allowed us to build trust and promote empowerment in our workplace. This has helped us to overcome many obstacles together and strengthen our synergy, helping us to meet our targets. So, to my fellow leaders and parents, I urge you to embrace the lessons of parenthood in each of your individual journeys. Use these lessons to help you lead with empathy and kindness. And remind yourself that the heart of leadership lies not in power, but in compassion. This Father’s Day, lead with your heart, and watch your team flourish.  #CompassionateLeadership #FatherhoodAndLeadership #SalesManagerLife #LeadWithHeart

How did you grow your career into a leadership role? According to a recent post by one of our users, the answer is simple: show more value to what you do. This means hustling, pushing boundaries, and always trying to do more for the company than required. By going above and beyond, you become more valuable to your organization and can position yourself for a leadership role. So, if you want to advance your career, remember to focus on delivering more value in everything you do.
