Have you ever found yourself saying yes to things that drain your energy or keep you from focusing on what truly matters? 😩 It’s easy to let the lines blur, but without clear boundaries, our productivity and well-being take a hit. Let’s Talk Boundaries 🎙️ on the Weekly Leaders Digest mini-episode hosted by the Dominate Your Day Podcast This week-we dive into the power of boundaries with insights inspired by Dr. Henry Cloud. His simple but powerful reminder? 👉 “You get what you tolerate.” When you set boundaries that align with your strengths, you create space for what truly matters—whether it’s tackling big goals at work or carving out time for yourself. 💡 Here’s how to get started this week: 1️⃣ Spot the Problem: Think about where a lack of boundaries is holding you back. 2️⃣ Use Your Superpower: Leverage your strengths to set limits that stick. For example: If you’re assertive, state your boundaries with confidence. If you value collaboration, find solutions that work for everyone. 3️⃣ Make it Clear: Communicate your boundaries respectfully. 🎧 Need more tips?

🤔 Have you ever noticed how the most meaningful Thanksgiving conversations happen when we truly listen to understand each other? This morning in my Strengths Journal™, I reflected on the beauty of connecting with people different from ourselves. When we view others as complex individuals shaped by their experiences, struggles, and hopes – rather than just their opinions – everything changes. Here are 5 tips for transforming differences into opportunities for connection: 1. Listen Like a Detective Get curious about their story. Ask yourself: "What experiences shaped their perspective?" Using my Learner strength here opens new paths to understanding. 2. Find Shared Values Before discussing differences, establish common ground. Maybe it's family, community, or hopes for the future. Connection starts with what we share. 3. Practice the Pause When emotions rise, take a breath. My Strategic strength reminds me to pause and respond thoughtfully rather than react. 4. Ask Open Questions Replace "Why would you think that?" with "Tell me more about how you came to this view." One builds walls, the other builds bridges. 5. Acknowledge First A simple "I hear you" before sharing your perspective can transform the conversation. Remember: everyone at your table has a unique story worth understanding. Through The Strengths Journal™, I've learned to approach each day with intention, focusing on: • Daily purpose-setting • Strength-aligned actions • Gratitude practice • Growth reflection 🖋️ Ready to start your own journey of intentional living? We're offering a special Black Friday deal on The Strengths Journal starting tomorrow. https://lnkd.in/gKGDfRkx What helps you connect with people who see the world differently?
