It's Monday.
I'm relaxed and at ease– excited for the week ahead and ready to roll!
It's not always like this.
Most Mondays I feel overwhelmed and a little sick to my stomach about how I am going to accomplish all that needs to be done.
I exercise, and fight the urge to cut it short because my list is long and it's an easy excuse to jump straight onto the computer and answer emails.
I know what you're thinking... "well, Claire, it's because you've just come off the holiday break that you are feeling this spaciousness!"
And yes, I'm sure that having fewer requests coming in, being well rested, and having had time to think has helped.
But there's more!
The real difference on this magic Monday comes from…
It's amazing how different I feel on a Monday morning, when my WHY is compelling, my plan is in place, my team is empowered, and my goals and outcomes are clear.
Why have I spent so many years NOT COMMITTING to these powerful and effective behaviors???
The obvious reason, is that it takes TIME to pause, plan, and engage others. Time that I often don't feel that I have because there are too many emergencies to handle. (Does any of this sound familiar?)
But I'm a grown up now.
I realize no one is going to do this for me.
It's MY job.
And if I'm going to set a good example and be a good leader, I MUST MODEL THE WAY!
So- here are the 5 powerful and effective behaviors I will be leveraging above all others in 2021…
I am ALL IN this year, and I'll be applying these 5 powerful practices along with a mighty team of leaders from a variety of organizations all year in my newest leadership course, LX EVOLVE (the LX stands for Leadership Transformation!)
The power in these practices will TRULY TRANSFORM YOUR EXPERIENCE OF WORK.
Join me and my amazing team of trainers for LX EVOLVE, where we will LOCK IN the habits you need to EVOLVE your team!
I've made my plan for 2021. My goals are linked to my most compelling purpose and values so I feel energized! My goals are "do-able" and mapped out across 4 quarters in a shared document with the rest of my team. I did this in ONE DAY! You can too. JOIN ME and I'll show you how.
