When your team makes a mistake, Do you let your emotions take the lead? I’ve learned this the hard way. Getting angry when your team makes a mistake doesn’t teach them to avoid mistakes, It actually teaches them to hide mistakes. Let me tell you why. It’s natural to feel frustrated when things go wrong, especially when the mistake seems avoidable. The issue becomes another wrench in your already busy day, and it can be annoying. But I’ve come to realize that reacting with anger does nothing but create a culture of fear. A culture where a team covers up their mistakes and avoids risks completely. And when people are scared to admit mistakes, it stifles innovation and kills trust. I’ve found that approaching mistakes with curiosity instead of anger is a much better way forward. Instead of asking, "Why did this happen?" with frustration, Try asking, “What do you think led to this?” or “How can we prevent this next time?” Focus on growth going forward instead of punishment of the past. The mindset shift encourages open dialogue, And empowers your team to own up to their mistakes and learn from them. It shows that mistakes aren’t failures- they’re opportunities for growth. Next time your team makes a mistake (because it’s going to happen), Try pausing and asking yourself: How can I approach this with curiosity instead of anger? By taking that brief moment of pause, you’ll find a team built on trust instead of fear. ♻️ If you enjoyed this post, reshare it with your network to help someone today.

Remember that no one else defines your worth but yourself. Understand this first, as a principle and you will find it far easier to navigate the world of negotiations. You owe it to yourself to go to environments where you can thrive and to avoid staying in places that suck you dry. If you are struggling with this, I'd suggest learning how to: 1) Advocate for yourself 2) Keep the promises you make Number 1 will show you that is is possible to ask for more and go after more. Number 2 will help you build-up your self-esteem by showing you that you can trust yourself to keep the promises you make Once you've done this, the sky is the limit. And if you think you don't need to believe in yourself. Well, let me just say you're wrong. You need to have a strong sense of belief in what you can accomplish and in turn this will give you: 💪🏽 Motivation: when you believe in yourself, you also, through extension, believe in what you can accomplish. Believe that you can make your vision happen and you will be more motivated to get things done 🤩Courage: when you have self-belief you're more likely to try new things despite the chance of failure. Courage is not the absence of fear, it’s taking action despite of it. Take risks, ask questions, be bold, believe in yourself and you'll see massive career advances 🧘🏽♀️Stress reduction: most people spend too much time worrying about whether they can do something instead of just taking action. Stop stressing the small stuff. Believe in yourself, and believe you can get it done 📈Resilience: the ups and downs are inevitable. Set-backs are a natural process of life's journey. When you believe in yourself however, you're able to bounce back faster, and use any set-backs as fuel because your sense of self-worth matches the size of your vision #peopleandculture #growth #leadershipdevelopment cc: Julia Danyal

"Confidence is not 'Will they like me?' Confidence instead is, 'I'll be fine if they don't'.   An insightful quote from American singer Christina Grimmie.   A young lady who died far too young, but was wise beyond her years.   There are not many industries where people are more critical of you than music.   ↳ Comments about our voice. ↳ The songs you sing. ↳ How you look. ↳ What you say. ↳ What you wear. ↳ Who you spend time with.   As a result, it is so easy to allow what others think about you to have an impact.   To prevent you from doing what you want. What you love.   Making it so hard to stay on your path. To be true to yourself.   But yet this young professional saw through the negativity.   She realized it didn't matter if she wasn't "liked". Or if people didn't like her songs, clothes, words, or actions.   Because she found the truth. To have success you need to have the self-confidence to ignore the noise. To avoid the naysayers.   She realized very early that:   "Confidence is not 'Will they like me?' Confidence instead is, 'I'll be fine if they don't'."   Worrying what others think is one of the two key barriers to success. Preventing you from taking action.   🧠 So if Christina Grimmie, at less than 22 years of age, saw and embraced this truth, how about you?   ❓ In what area of your life or career are you allowing the fear of what others think to prevent you from taking action? ❓What are you going to do about it?   📌P.S. The other key barrier to your success that I hear most often is fear of failure. What is yours?   #Leadership #Empowerment #ConfidenceCoach #CommunicationCoach #CareerCoach

When you surround yourself with people who focus on positive and productive conversations, you are more likely to be inspired and motivated to pursue your own goals and dreams. By avoiding gossip and negativity, you can create a supportive and uplifting environment that fosters creativity and growth. Surrounding yourself with likeminded individuals who share your passion for innovation and forward-thinking can help you stay focused and driven towards achieving your own vision. Remember, the company you keep can have a profound impact on your mindset and success, so choose wisely 💯 #ZeeTheCook #growthmindset #inspiration #motivation #goals #success

I am often referred to as the 'SO-WHAT Guy' by my team members – a rather unique nickname, wouldn't you agree? The ‘Why’ behind this nickname is the easier answer to guess - It's because people who have worked with me often hear me asking the question ‘SO WHAT?’ Coming to the next obvious question: ‘How has it helped me in my career?’ From the very beginning, ‘So what’ has been my go-to ‘Mantra’ whenever I have faced challenges at the professional as well as the personal front. Just like removing / peeling off the different layers of an onion, these two simple words have helped me think strategically, reach the core of any issue and come up with workable solutions. For example: If we are confronted with a situation which is different from what we had envisaged, ‘So what’ helps us fully analyse the situation, and how the changed parameters impact the different aspects of the business. It helps us take a pause and reflect, define the cause-and- effect relationship, and then take an informed decision, rather than give a ‘knee-jerk’ reaction to the same. These two words have assisted me in maintaining my focus on the larger goal, and not get bogged down by the many hurdles that come along the way. Further, these two words have helped me coach my team. By analysing the situation from various perspectives, my team now comes prepared with options so as to resolve the situation. Thus, they have developed as a ‘winning team’ having a ‘solutions-mindset’ rather than a ‘problem-mindset’ In a nutshell, these two words have kept me grounded. I am able to think positively, challenge my own thoughts and biases, and declutter my mind – especially when there is a conflict between the emotional and logical aspects. What has been your mantra to keep yourself focused on your goals? #solutionoriented #positivethinking #focus #resilience #determination

How to upgrade your life: Ignore all the background noise. Stop giving a damn about anyone's opinion of you. Here’s the hard truth about the world’s most self-assured individuals: - They don’t seek validation - They aren’t swayed by others’ judgments - They understand that opinions are not facts - They know their worth isn’t tied to what others think Their secret weapon? Self-acceptance. Unshakable confidence. Instead of wasting energy trying to convert skeptics or win over critics, they focus on their path. Be so obsessed with your growth that you have no time to think waste. Make mistakes and live. Make mistakes and live. The real “magic” of personal freedom is understanding that you own your life when you stop trying to change anyone's opinions of you. Agree? . . . ♻️ Repost if it resonates.

For a long time I spent most of my time working in the business instead of working on the business, it was necessary, or at least that’s what I thought. When Covid came things started to change and what seemed to be working I soon realized it wasn’t. I started to discover my lack of knowledge in so many areas, and one of the first things I learned was to develop my self awareness. If I don’t know that I don’t know something I just go through life ignorant of that such thing I don’t know, and I might think that what I know or what I do is normal. I discovered I had multiple limiting beliefs, things that were normal to me, so I never questioned them, I used to only accept them because “that was my normal”. I soon started to become aware of my poor leadership skills, my lack of skills selling, networking, communicating, my lack of efficiency, high stress, high ego, not knowing how to set boundaries with people, accepting toxicity around me, my low levels of emotional intelligence, among many other things in that long list of behaviors, skills, and traits that I needed to develop. The first step was accepting that the problem was me, and that nobody else was responsible to fix my problems but me. I learned that in life there’s Victims and there’s Victors. A Victim will always look for someone or something to blame for their lack of results. Whereas a Victor will always say, “I am the problem, and since I am the problem I can fix it”. Three years later I have changed my mindset, I see things through a different lens, I have developed many things in me, but I still have a long way to go. But it’s all about progress, not perfection. As long as I’m progressing I know I’m going in the right direction. #beintentional 💪

"Just keep on the priority, leave the rest on the process". This quote makes me remember that having it clear in mind what I want to achieve and also being patient with the steps that I must take to reach it are both important. On those occasions, we may become disheartened or upset because of the difficulties or blockages that we encounter in our way. One could doubt oneself or one’s abilities. Perhaps, we might be questioning upon whether it is the right path we are on or whether success is what we made so far. On the other hand, we should save our vision, look at the aim and trust the process that will accomplish that. That is the message which we receive: trust in ourselves and in our labour. It instructs us on to celebrate each small triumph while we learn from our failure. It anodes us to relish the journey as much as the destination. My opinion is that this quote can be useful to anyone who is after a personal or professional target; it does not matter if the pursued goal is to launch a new business, new product, or to learn a new skill or achieve a new outlook. It applies to all people who lead or are part of a team, because it helps us to set our goals in sync with the ones of our team and to support each other along the journey. Hence, I suggest that you think about this quote and try to understand how it relates to the circumstances you are in.What is your vision?What is your process? How can you grasp the vision and commit to the outcome? What is the way of projecting your vision and methodology to the public?

Ever wonder why some people always get a call back? It's not about fancy tactics – it's about character. Becoming someone people want to call back is the real secret. Developing good character is challenging, but it's what truly counts. How do you do it? By consistently stepping outside your comfort zone, taking risks, and experimenting in pursuit of your goals. This isn't the sexy stuff of "Top 5 Tips" or "Three Strategies." It's about perseverance, authenticity, and resilience. When you push yourself to do uncomfortable things and take genuine risks, you not only discover the right tactics and strategies, but you also become a person others respect and trust. People call back those they believe in. So, how can you start building this kind of character? Begin by setting small, uncomfortable goals that push your boundaries. Whether it's reaching out to a mentor, speaking up in meetings, or tackling a project outside your expertise, these actions build resilience and confidence. Next, embrace failure as a learning opportunity. Every risk you take won't always result in success, but each one will teach you valuable lessons and sharpen your instincts. Reflect on these experiences, adjust your approach, and keep moving forward. Finally, prioritize authenticity in all your interactions. Be genuine, be transparent, and show empathy. People are drawn to those who are real and relatable. By focusing on these principles, you'll not only develop a strong character but also foster lasting, meaningful connections. Character building isn't a quick fix; it's a continuous journey. Commit to it, and watch as the callbacks, opportunities, and respect naturally follow.
