Stuck seeing things the same old way? Time to try reframing! Here’s how you can shift your perspective to transform challenges into opportunities: Identify the Narrative: Notice the story you’re telling yourself about a situation. Is it overly negative? Challenge It: Ask yourself, “Is there another way to look at this?” Consider multiple angles or the potential positives that could emerge. Choose Empowerment: Pick a new angle that empowers you. Maybe a setback is a setup for a great comeback? Take Action: Act based on your new frame. What would you do differently if you believed this new perspective? Reflect: Notice how the reframe changes your feelings and responses. More positive? More in control? Reframing isn’t just about changing your mind; it’s about changing your life by changing your mind! 🌟💭 #MindsetShift #ReframeYourDay #PositiveThinking

⚠️THE DANGERS OF WHAT YOU LISTEN TO Your ear is a womb - what you listen to doesn’t just pass through; it can conceive ideas that are born into reality. Ignoring this truth can lead to negative influences shaping our thoughts and actions. Be careful what you allow to take root. Negative thoughts, toxic conversations, and limiting beliefs can grow into self-fulfilling prophecies. What you allow into your mind can either nurture your growth or stifle it. Be mindful of the conversations, media, and messages you engage with. Protect your ear, and in turn, safeguard your future. Choose wisely what you let grow within you. Guard your mind – the ear doesn't just hear, it births. Prov. 4: 20-23 Have you ever considered how the ear is like a womb, birthing what we choose to listen to? My name is Victor.

#Bold #Challenging #TrustedAdvisor Your Mantra for Today: "I'm #Recalibrating" Before you go rushing off to your next thing, read this quote by Tim Keller again: ⤵ "What you do today is shaped by what you believe about tomorrow." The second half of the quote is where you'll want to spend time in deep reflection. Because what you believe about tomorrow often acts like the subconscious tail that wags today's dog (to mash up a metaphor). But you get the point, right? What you believe about tomorrow can have a HUGE impact on what you do—and won't do—today. So what DO you believe about tomorrow?

A common question that we ask ourselves at ATYPICAL is "how do we effectively lead this new generation". I recently came across Simon Sinek's approach and his answer, "it starts with empathy". This was a very inspiring watch for me, particularly as it relates to the expectation that has been placed on work and an employer, and the ways in which the younger generation manages and responds to stress. Equally, I can relate to being an empath on my team - the one who carries the emotional load of others - and while this is a fundamental part of my role, for which my natural ability to emphasize serves me well, it doesn't take away from the fact that it can be emotionally exhausting and sometimes prohibitive in allowing me to actually get my job done. This gave me a shift in my perspective and a gentle reminder on how to be, not only an empathetic but effective leader for my team (majority of which are Gen Z), but also how to equip them to deal with stress in a healthy and productive way. If you too are feeling challenged by this, then I encourage you to watch :) Also, if you have any tips/insights with how you are showing up for your team with this new way of work, I would love to hear them! https://lnkd.in/dq2Ji5jR #teamcollaboration #commercialrealestate #cre #womeninbusiness #companygrowth

What happens when you actually get what you want? You'd think it'd be great, but most of us have self-sabotaging patterns that limit what is possible. Here's your sign to acknowledge yourself as a powerful manifestor and clear those self sabotaging behaviors. What guidance with that?

Friday Thought 💡: Want to lead with more empathy? Start each day by asking yourself, 'How can I show up with intention today?' A small change, a big impact. Intention helps us shift our focus from our TO DO list to our TO BE list. #EmpathyInLeadership #MindfulLeadership #FridayMotivation

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
