Building Blocks

The foundation of personal leadership addresses:

Self-awareness and getting to know yourself better
Identifying and developing your skills, talents and strengths.
Identifying and gaining clarity on what you want for your life
Your values and knowing what you stand for
Defining and/or adjusting your vision for the different aspects of your life

As women tend to be caretakers and tend to put others first, I think it’s important for women to learn and take great care of themselves.

Self- care and personal wellness often fall off the list in our busy lives but it is a critical ingredient to our happiness and effectiveness as a person and leader.

Personal Leadership

I define personal leadership as:

ability to see yourself as leader & to lead
managing yourself effectively
having a direction or vision for your life
learning and knowing who you are
knowing what you stand for and what you are about
who you are as leader
how you are as a leader
open to learning
ability to self-reflect

The Foundation of Personal Leadership is you!

I help women like you; become a leader through developing your personal leadership so you can be the leader of your life.

Becoming a leader ultimately impacts every aspect of your life.

It elevates you by providing a foundation to stand confidently in your strength, wisdom and power. It provides a direction forward for your life.

Being a leader is often viewed as a role but it’s really a mindset and a way of being.

It’s who you are, what you stand for and who you want to become.

What is Leadership?

Leadership

The dictionary defines leadership as:

the position or function of a leader, a person who guides or directs a group
ability to lead
an act or instance of leading; guidance; direction

Leadership is personal

Who you are and how you lead is all about you. When you are leading, you are bringing your whole self with you.

To me, you can’t lead others effectively, if you don’t know minimally who you are, what you are about and what you stand for.

If you don’t know who you are, how can you effectively get the people you’re supposed to lead to follow you?

I believe that how you lead is all based on who you are and who you choose to be.

What do you believe leadership is based on?
