Start with Self-Leadership!
Alright, friends, today I want to talk about Self-Leadership! As most of you know, I am very passionate about workplace wellness and psychological safety at work. Due to experiencing a toxic workplace and everything I had to undo from that, it's now my mission to make sure no one has to go through this ever again. Which is why I am now dedicated to working with rising leaders to embody Self-Love at work to end this cycle of toxicity. And a good place to start? Self-Leadership!
When you think about your goals as a leader, whether it's impact, or influence, or effectiveness for your company, do you see yourself reaching these goals without knowing how to effectively lead yourself first?
Self-Leadership is the act of influencing your thoughts and your actions to align with your goals and objectives to ultimately lead yourself towards achieving your personal and professional aspirations. So, when you think of leading a team, how is it possible to lead them effectively when you aren't able to do it for yourself?
Leadership starts with you! Once you can embody and model Self-Leadership to your team, you will begin to gain the influence, impact or effectiveness you are looking for.
Mastering Self-Leadership will help you:
Be more productive and efficient
Become more motivated and accountable for your actions
Cultivate stronger relationships at work (and in your personal life)
Inspire others to follow your lead creating higher employee engagement
How to start practicing Self-Leadership:
Get Curious - Become more self-aware of your actions, why you are doing them and the outcome.
Create Confidence - A good place to start is promising yourself you will do something, and actually showing up to do it.
Be more empathetic - Being a good leader means having empathy for those around you. So start with you. Be more kind to yourself today.
The truth is: Self-Leadership is an important concept within Self-Love. Which is why, in Leading with Self-Love, we begin by creating foundational mindset practices that will help you lead yourself every single day.
Creating Self-Leadership practices through embodying true Self-Love is the best place to start for landing a leadership position, or getting promoted into a leadership position! Start now and watch what happens… ✨
