    Reimagining Work-Life Balance

    Reimagining Work-Life Balance
    Discovering work-life balance isn't found outside of us but within us!
    Two questions you may want to consider:
    What perspective do I have about work-life balance that needs to shift? Which system in my life highly influences me and needs reexamination?
    In The Song of Significance, Seth Godin writes, "We need to make a living, but how do we make a life?"

    Lighting up Liminal Spaces

    Lighting up Liminal Spaces

    Lighting up Liminal Spaces
    Liminal spaces are that space between past and present. Liminality is the "in between", a transition from where you have been to where you are going. Liminal space is like standing on the edge of a precipice of something new but not quite being there yet.
    Here are 6 recommendations that will help a leader prepare for the liminal spaces in their lives:
    Accept that you have entered a liminal space. Recognize it and don't resist it. Confirm as quickly as possible what you can control in this liminal space. Identify areas where you have the agency to reduce anxiety.Reflect on past liminal spaces you've experienced and what strategies worked. Learn from your own history. Pay attention to your communication. Identify the role you are choosing to play: Villan, victim, hero and/or guide. Seek guidance and support from the right people.
    Today you are invited to join a FREE 3 day challenge called New Angle Exploration. This challenge comes from the Healthy Leadership Academy. Uncover your leadership potential with Dr. Nina Ellison | Healthy Leadership Academy (look for Stride 2. A Fresh Perspective, New Angle Exploration).

    Launchpad Leadership (from the vault)

    Launchpad Leadership (from the vault)

    Launchpad Leadership:
    Some advantages of being a launchpad leader:
    1.            Sets a standard for growth and being growth minded
    2.            Helps guide the hiring process.
    3.            Helps leaders to get to know others in the early days of their employment.
    Some challenges in committing to be a launchpad leader:
    1.            People are going to leave
    2.            Accepting that investing in people is worth the emotional and operational toll
    3.            Having those on the launch pad stay long enough for character and leadership
    growth while also bringing value to the business.
    4.            The launch pad leader must avoid carrying the weight of others development. Young leaders need to be hungry to launch but humble to learn
    Bottom line:
    1.            Bet on leaders and bet on hope
    2.            Being a part of the bigger picture is worth the risk.

    Inner Thrive Uncovered

    Inner Thrive Uncovered

    When I see a leader who is thriving, I notice someone who has a consistent thread in their life of energy and enthusiasm. They are willing to explore with courage.
    Thriving in leadership is about the choices we make, not the situation we live in.
    We choose to make choices that enable us to thrive.:
    8 questions derived initially from Dr Laurie Schreiner's content (Thriving Quotient) that will open your mind to see your willingness to pursue thriving:
    1.      Can I identify that I am actively engaged in a learning process?
    2.     Am I putting in the necessary effort to reach my important goals?
    3.    Am I effectively managing my time and commitments?
    4.    Am I connecting with others in healthy and positive ways?
    5.     Am I optimistic about the future?
    6.    Am I positive about the choices I am presently making?
    7.  How can I tell that I appreciate differences in others?
    8.   Am I committed to enriching my community?
