Surround yourself with people who want to improve themselves, and you'll naturally start to improve yourself. Surround yourself with people who are complacent, and you'll naturally start to become complacent. Your circle shapes you. Be deliberate in managing it. #goodmorning #morningmotivation

Here’s the honest truth: The pain of misalignment doesn’t go away until you make the change you’re avoiding. ❤️🩹 So, you can either experience the pain that comes with growth, or you can experience the pain that comes with staying stuck and unhappy. Pick your poison but note that only one of these options leads to the life you’re seeking. Which one do you think it is?... . . . #leadlikeaqueen #womensleadership #collegeadvice #womensupportwomen #femaleempowermentcoach

That pressure clouds our judgement and causes us to be more reactive.

When you don’t like what is happening at work and how it makes you feel, you can either do what most people do, which is complain, criticize, take things personally, make assumptions, or make excuses, or you can choose inner peace and self-mastery. The decision is yours. Changing old habits and thought patterns requires a high level of awareness and commitment. #speakwithimpact #thefouragreements

People always ask me how can you be a generational pattern breaker in your family. The reality is most of us have the capacity to do so. The fastest way to break generational patterns is to BE the change. Not tell others what to do. Not to find solutions outside of yourself. But to recognize your own suffering and choosing to do something about it. Then you will become the solution to your own problem. Many of us were called to forge a new path. Create a new story. It starts with you. Happy Friday! #womenleaders #womeninleadership #womenintheworkplace

Monday Morning Mantra: Generate Buy In People support what they help create. #mondaymorningmantra #mondaymotivation #generatebuyin #createconnection #leadershipadvice #leadershiplessons #createbuyin

We all have specific triggers that catapult us from feeling calm and content to frustrated or angry. Think about what these are for you. Here are some ideas: ·       Being in conflict and feeling taken advantage of ·       Being criticised and others' lack of follow-through ·       Being taken for granted and not being heard or excluded ·       Being set up for failure and not receiving credit for work done ·       Being ignored, overwhelmed or surprised ·       Being under external pressure and another's lack of commitment ·       Being confined and restricted and not being taken seriously ·       Being controlled and being blindsided The more you can make the invisible triggers visible, the more you can self-correct, prepare yourself for certain situations and notice when you have been triggered so you can insert a mental pause button to respond mindfully and not react regretfully. It's one thing to reflect on a past experience, but the damage is already done. The true superpower is catching yourself in the present moment so you can choose your response in real-time.

Perspective, effort, and decisions form a golden triangle, with perspective acting as the catalyst. An A+ effort without the proper perspective can lead to burnout, and the right decisions without the right perspective, can be uninspiring. Outstanding effort and the right decisions flow naturally from a positive perspective. #Perspective #Principles #PAiC
