Leadership Success Strategy - Your Winning Leadership Formula to a Balanced Life
Leadership Success Strategy - Your Winning Leadership Formula to a Balanced Life
Balance is not a state or place we can get to. Balance is always in motion. A ballerina trains and practices balance to be on point, a golfer balances his/her golf swing, a pilot keeps the aircraft balanced through all types of weather conditions. Each of these examples illustrate different areas where balance is required, however, each of the individuals have one fundamental characteristic. They are focused on an objective to get to a specific outcome. Balance is a skill to be developed.
In today's high-speed, frenzied world it is not easy to stay balanced. There are countless events and relationships competing for your attention. It is taking a toll on one's health, career and relationships. I constantly see people who are frustrated and can no longer take the stress. They are looking for balance.
Balance is developed through choices and deciding who is driving the bus. Are you driving the bus or are your decisions based on spreading yourself too thin driving the bus?
Are you willing to experience new perspectives? If not, what can you expect as the world changes around you? If yes, congratulations on going deeper down the rabbit hole of self-awareness.
"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it." - Pablo Picasso
Here are some leadership balance questions to ponder:
-What does balance look like to you?'
-Where do you want more balance?
-What difference would balance make in your leadership?
-What if things stayed the same, what would it cost you?
-What or who is driving your leadership bus? Is it habit, self-limiting self-talk, routine, pressure from others?
Pretend your life/career is in balance, what are you doing and who are you being? Use your imagination. At this point don't worry about the how.
"Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold." - Euripides

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
