Here's how you can cultivate and sustain a powerful self-belief as a leader.

I dream of walking a peaceful path. I don’t want to be full of fear, anger and sadness, or held back by my thoughts, as I move towards my future. I want to be able to walk a peaceful path, to connect freely to myself and others and to the earth fully, with each step and in each moment. And then my thinking gets in the way. My thoughts stop me connecting to how I want to be. Even when I know these thoughts and beliefs are of my own making, they still appear, without permission, to hold me back. I want to know about this unwanted thinking, and I want to be able to think the thoughts that might help me become the person I want to be.

When you allow yourself to make mistakes, you also recognize that others can make mistakes too. You become more human, and it helps you to be a better leader.

Self-affirmations sound cheezy and dorky, but ANYONE who's ever done them consistently will tell you that it's worth it. That sense of gratitude of affirmation will ultimately adjust your midset over time.

To cultivate and sustain a powerful self-belief as a leader, it is essential to become more conscious of your belief systems, control your emotions and become aware of your feelings. Begin by changing your state to consistently maintain a beautiful and empowering mindset. Prioritize taking care of your physiology to ensure you are in peak condition. Focus on what truly matters, and be mindful of the language and meanings you attach to your experiences. Establish a clear and compelling future, and consciously work toward becoming the person necessary to achieve it. By aligning your beliefs, state, and actions with your desired outcomes, you solidify your path to effective and inspiring leadership.

There is a difference between arrogance and humility where the latter builds a great foundation to being a respectable leader. Questioning one's own ability as a leader can be a positive thing to do. For me, this is called reflection..."was that the right action? ....how did my team react?....would I have done differently..."

Hold feedback lightly. By that I mean, don't attach too much emotion or weight to any single piece of feedback. Recognise that feedback is valuable information, but it's not the ultimate truth. Each person's perspective is inherently limited and subjective.

Set Realistic Goals and Celebrate Achievements. Break down your long-term vision into achievable milestones. Celebrate each success, no matter how small. Recognizing your progress reinforces your belief in your abilities and keeps you motivated.

Regularly dedicate time to close your eyes and envision your success in leadership roles. Imagine the desired outcomes, the impact you wish to create, and the leader you strive to become. Embrace the confidence and satisfaction that accompany success. Mental rehearsal prepares your brain to act in harmony with your vision, increasing the likelihood of real-world success. As leaders and coaches, encouraging the practice of visualization enhances self-awareness, promotes mental clarity, and fosters decisiveness – all vital elements in successful leadership. Remember, success starts in the mind. Envision your achievements and let that drive you toward actualizing your leadership potential.

As a leader and a futuristic individual, this is a super-power of mine. KEEP YOUR VISION CLEAR! Keep your vision sharp and inspiring by regularly visualizing your goals and the steps needed to achieve them. Use vivid imagery and detailed scenarios to make your vision tangible. Share this vision consistently with your team through clear communication and storytelling. Celebrate small victories to reinforce progress and adjust your vision as needed to stay relevant. Incorporate feedback and encourage your team to visualize their role in the collective success. This continual reinforcement fosters a shared sense of purpose and strengthens self-belief.

Embrace Continuous Learning. Commit to lifelong learning and self-improvement. Attend workshops, read extensively, and seek out mentorship. This not only enhances your skills but also boosts your confidence as you expand your knowledge and capabilities.

Surround Yourself with Positive Influences. Build a support network of mentors, peers, and colleagues who encourage and inspire you. Positive relationships provide validation and constructive feedback, reinforcing your self-belief and helping you stay grounded.

Conexões agregadoras e genuínas são construídas com base no respeito, na troca construtiva e no entendimento de que cada um de nós pode enriquecer o outro com conhecimentos e experiências diversas pelas quais passou.

Quoting Martin Luther King Jr Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better. This attitude will lead to unimaginable self belief and make you a charismatic personality. To do a work so well first you need to understand the work and the expected results, then you need to check on the skills and knowledge to that work. When you take all these steps you invest time and energy in upgrading yourself leading. These steps give you self confidence and powerful positive self image. Focus on doing your work so well and watch out for success.

An important way to cultivate and sustain a powerful self-belief as a leader is self-care: you need to take care of your well-being, physical and mental health, in order to be able to thrive as a leader and become confident, effective and successful while supporting and inspiring others. "You cannot pour from an empty cup!" There is not one-size-fits-all when it comes to self-care and each individual is different. However, some of the practices that I support are: - breathing techniques - grounding techniques - mindfulness - meditation - affirmations - journaling - regular physical activity - regular breaks - contact with nature - creative hobbies - time spent with loved ones
