#Leadership Influence

Face to face interaction is the best way to influence, learn what's really going on, and delegate   to move forward the multiple agendas that must be advanced.  It also allows leaders to best support and coach those they lead.

Destination

You never want to have an aimless destiny.  You want to be targeting something.  And don't hesitate to pivot to get there.

#Resilience

Resilience comes from playing with no net.  It comes when you trust yourself when you have to succeed.  You'll discover how resilient you are when you have to.

Challenge Yourself Everyday

Each day, challenge yourself to be a little uncomfortable and do the one thing that scares you a bit.  What's the worst that can happen?  Rejection, embarrassment, someone saying no?  Alternatively, what's the best that could happen?  Happiness, more fulfillment?

Staying Power

"It's not that I am so smart; it's just that I stay with the problems longer."  -Albert Einstein

Distraction Management

One study found that when a distraction is about twenty-seconds away from us - when it takes twenty-seconds to retrieve a bag of chips - it provides enough of a temporal distance for us to not fall victim to these distractions, and we're better able to control our impulses.  Introducing a twenty-second delay gives us the awareness to resist the impulses we naturally have.
