Too often we always tell ourselves and other people to “FEEL CONFIDENT”. But being confident is not a FEELING, it’s a skill. It’s not so much about feeling confident but it’s about your ability to think about the problem and decide what to do about it. Get your head and heart on this concept and you won’t depend on FEELING anymore. Remember, confidence is something that can be developed and strengthened over time. #Confidence #ConfidenceBooster #CareerTip #TruthAboutConfidence #IgnitingTransformation #DidYouKnow #LeaderTip

Radical Candor emphasizes the importance of giving sincere and specific praise, helping your team understand exactly what they're doing well. 💜 Generic "good jobs" don’t carry as much weight as detailed feedback like, "Wow, your presentation was really great. It’s clear you put in a lot of work. I especially liked how you highlighted X, explained Y, and presented Z so clearly." Specific praise not only boosts morale but also helps reinforce positive behaviors and skills. It shows that you are paying attention and genuinely appreciate the effort and talent of your team members. Who agrees?!? 🙌 Share your thoughts and experiences on giving and receiving feedback in the comments below! #WorkLife #CorporateLife #OfficeLife #9to5 #WorkplaceCulture #WorkLifeBalance #OfficeHumor #CareerAdvice #BossLife #WorkHumor #TaylorSwift #Overthinking #Funny #BossLife #Feedback #FeedbackMatters

How many circles can you check off? Developing an "agreeable" personality is key to drawing people to you as friends or colleagues. These skills are defined by how we view and cope with the world's daily challenges. They help us gracefully handle what the world throws at us and encourage us to support others as people to be cared about rather than compete with for "top dog" positioning. Strengthening these essential abilities can lead to greater success and fulfillment in both professional and personal settings. #personalitydevelopment #professionaldevelopment #success

😖 "Conflict allows the team to come to terms with difficult situations, to synthesize diverse perspectives, and to make sure solutions are well thought-out” Working with teams, the most common rationale for avoiding conflict is not wanting to hurt others' feelings. As humans, we're hardwired to want acceptance. Shifting the mindset to, "its our job to create healthy friction" can help to ease discomfort. Find time this week to make a (however caveated) challenge to the thinking and create some good friction and quality dialogue. #alignment #qualityconversations #healthyconflict #mindsets #teamdevelopment

How would your team thrive if you treated everyone like they were fully competent—like they would be successful? Today I want to encourage you to: ❤️ Treat your team like you know they can do the job. Ask questions. Offer your support. And create a safety net so if they stumble they don’t fall. Then, step back and watch them shine. ☀️ #leadershipdevelopment #leadearshipcoach #perfection #perfectionist #presentnotperfect #perfectlyimperfect #progressnotperfect #perfectionistproblems #selfdevelopment #personalgrowth

Someone in our closest group of friends knows a secret that can change our lives. This month, for the first time, I initiated a feedback session with a friend who has known me for 20 years. Through thick and thin—working side by side, partying till we dropped—he's seen me evolve and navigate relationships, friendships, and all those highs and lows of life. He knows me very well. So, I asked for feedback! The genuine kind, like the stuff you might get from your bosses at work that's meant to help you level up in your career. But this time, it was all about the personal stuff. About me as a human, not just an employee. Turns out, the people around you know a ton about how you act and they've been along for the ride on your journey. Here's how you do it: 1. Meet with a specific friend (!!) whom you trust, who really knows you and can tell you the hard truth. 2. Arrange a time and day to meet them, and ask them to come up with 2 things you could improve on and 2 things you're nailing. Naturally, you'll do the same for them. 3. Meet up, check your ego at the door, and come with an open heart. 4. Listen and soak it all in. Pro tip for those who wanna go the extra mile - if 2 or 3 people point out the same things about you, definitely ponder over those 🙂 It's a window into how you're seen by others. Let me know how it goes! #networking #Goldenkey #selfreflection
