"My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them." - Bono, singer-songwriter
True leadership power emerges from vulnerability - the courage to try, fail, learn & try again.

"Get Curious, not Furious." -Steven Covey. One simple letter change radically impacts a way of thinking.
Leadership doesn't emerge from having all the answers, but from asking the right questions and being curious.
Have a great weekend being curious.

"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance & above all confidence in ourselves." Marie Curie, physicist, chemist

Leaders who engage in recovery have higher performing teams.
Research, including studies referenced in books like "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker, has shown that rest and recovery can significantly impact productivity and engagement.
Leaders who rest adequately and encourage their teams to do the same tend to see higher levels of engagement and productivity within their teams.
Continuous work without adequate recovery leads to burnout, which is detrimental to your team's performance and morale.
Hope you are able to prioritize and enjoy some high-quality rest and recovery this weekend, leaders.

Do you know where the term 'soft skills' comes from? It was first introduced in U.S. Army training courses in the early 1970s as a 'bucket' for skills OTHER THAN the skills needed for operating machinery or using weapons.
In this bucket?
Critical thinking.
Emotional intelligence.
Collaboration.
Creativity.
Problem solving
Time management.
Adaptability.
Conscientiousness.
Communication.
These skills sound pretty important - more STRATEGIC than soft - when operating machinery, using weapons, & leading teams.
May your bucket be well-used this week.

How many seconds does it take for you to regain your composure? As a lifelong competitive tennis player, the only option I knew of was about 20 seconds.
That's how much time you have between points.
1️⃣ Breathe Deeply: Inhale deeply for 4 seconds, to calm the mind & reduce stress.
2️⃣ Visualize: 4 secs to visualize a positive outcome or recall a positive memory to shift focus away from stress.
3️⃣ Self-talk: 4 secs for positive self-talk, to reinforce confidence and focus.
4️⃣ Body Language: Adjust your posture or body language for 4 seconds to reflect confidence & readiness.
This weekend, leaders, find time to practice the 16-second reset.
