Your authenticity is your place of greatest joy, fulfillment, confidence, power, & influence. Don't be molded by others. Be yourself. The world needs you to be YOU! My work is about helping people discover, explore, and live your truest Self. #selfawareness #authenticity #joy

Taking back your life in this time of massive upheavals of #change comes about by discovering & embracing your core true self- learning how to live your authentic self courageously & unashamedly. Your strongest life comes from #authenticity. #personalgrowth #selfreflection

Why is it that humans have developed a #workplaceculture that says human #recharging is an add-on to life; only the "weak" need to factor in recharging after you've proven ur a hard worker? If this was the paradigm 4 electric vehicles there'd be useless EVs everywhere! #leaders

#Humandignity is vital 2 the workplace! We need 2 acknowledge r own (by shifting our negative self talk) & others' (by shifting 2 a more positive way of behaving & communicating w each other). What can you do 2 increase ur & others' sense of dignity? #leadership #workplaceculture

Sailboats r designd 2 have more weight below the waterline than above it-the keel-2 counterbalance the force of the wind. Leadership success comes frm 1st paying attntn 2 ballast, internal weight, character depth if we want to positively impact others. #leadership #personalgrowth

If there's to be a culture of wellbeing in our workplaces (and it's so desperately needed these days), it must begin with leaders who lead by their example of vulnerability & empathy. #leadership #wellbeing #workplaceculture #vulnerability

A positive outcome of the pandemic has been forcing the workplace into a much more human-centric culture where employees are valued as the most important resource-more important than stakeholders, products, structures, the board, & even the finances. tinyurl.com/ry2e7n9c

We as humans are designed to not just activate & produce. We r also designed to #reflect, stop, be creative, #think, #evaluate, discern, pause in order to be #purposeful & centered in our truth. To use our truth to make a transformational difference in people's lives. #leadership

The research about the most successful leaders points to the priority & developed ability 4 #selfreflection ... that leads to a #selfawareness that in turn leads to #selfevaluation that results in healthier #selfworth & manifests in #empathy toward others. #leadership

A lack of #empathy in the #workplace is not only diminishing to workers but it's also counter-productive to every bottom line at work. The most successful #leaders lead with empathy-listening more than talking, feeling more than fact-finding, building trust more than demanding.

Can we "trick" leaders into being more empathetic? My good friend Maria Ross (@redslicemaria) says we can and shows you why external motivations can lead to internal change in her latest TEDx talk. You need to watch this! bit.ly/MariaRossTEDx #TEDx #empathy #leadership

Good #leaders have learned to be present in every moment, to savor Now. And then to #bepresent with each other. To #listen to each other. To #appreciate & #respect each other. To express #gratitude for each other's positive contributions to right now. #workplaceculture

Nurturing #healthcare caregivers is not just an individual worker's problem. It's an organizational #systemicissue that must be addressed wholeheartedly. Not just patient lives are at stake. So are the caregivers' lives. #wellbeing #organizationalpriority #leadership #nurture

I've learned in my own experience that one of the keys to establishing #resilience & #stressmanagement is to break the code of positive energy by learning how to hack our built-in "feel good & strong" #neurochemicals. Here are some simple ways to increase your #energy.

#Resilience doesn't come automatically or magically. We r the driver of r own unique resilience car. So let's make sure we're plugging in regularly/strategically. Building effective & lasting resilience is fairly simple: crack the energy code=act on what positively energizes you.

This is true in almost every industry. People are looking to be a part of orgs that prioritize personal & professional development. And those people who are in a company that doesn't value them in this way will go looking for one that does! #retentionpriority #employeeengagement

Nonstop busyness leads to chronic stress which leads to high anxiety which leads to burnout (like a candle losing its wick and flame)-energy is gone-systems shut down. We are designed to need regular recharging, strategic stops, along the way. #resilience #burnout #leadership

How do the toughest, most effective people summon the will to keep going especially during difficult challenges? Emotional resilience is required of us to keep on going & thriving. #resilience #personalgrowth #courage tinyurl.com/epu3577k

Burnout in the workplace has risen by 33% in 2020 alone! 63% have little to no resilience! The most effective strategy to increase both--building deeper, more caring connections with self & coworkers. How much of a priority is this 4 you these days? #empathy #resilience #teams

Recovery in our day-to-day exhaustion & busy lives means more than stopping. It's a dynamic personal process that aims at restoring our energetic resources. What brings you energy doesn't necessarily bring me energy. So be YOU in strategic ways. #selfwareness #selfregulation
