What behaviour would you like to change? Why?
What habits, routines and rituals support the unwanted behaviour?
What does your desired new behaviour look like?
What habits, routines and rituals would support your desired wanted behaviour?
If the grass looks greener on the other side… Stop staring. Stop comparing. Stop complaining and start watering the grass you’re standing on.
Dr Shelly Gable is someone who knows what she’s talking about!
In a nutshell:
When someone’s telling you a story and you respond ACTIVELY and CONSTRUCTIVELY,
guess what? LOVE and FRIENDSHIP increase.
There are 4 styles of responding to people’s stories:
Your colleague: ‘ Hey, I’ve just been offered a promotion!’
You:
Get the idea?
So what style will you be using in the office next week?

“I” is a Declaration
The word “I” is a magnet. If you say “I’m useless”, the vibration of uselessness moves towards you. Chances are, if you ARE useless, it is because you have been saying so for a while.
Challenge: I is a decree to the universe that attracts what comes after it.
Solution: Pay attention to I and I am, and see what you are asking the universe to deliver. Ask your friends and family to listen to your “I” statements and give you feedback. Practice saying “I am….” and fill in the blank. Repetition is one key to manifestation.
There is much power in “I” – so much, that we are often afraid to own what we are saying. We therefore use the collective “you” instead. While speaking first person, it may feel awkward at first it is only from there that we can truly command our power.
Challenge: Many of us dilute our personal power and use the collective “we”. Or, worse yet, we give our credit to someone else.
Solution: Think before you speak, and find a way to use “I” to own your successes, your language, and your actions. Practice shortening your sentences until they become laser sharp. Rather than saying “you” as a generalization, say “I” and own the sentence.
It’s a well known fact that we tend to overestimate the benefits of things that don’t serve us – think that extra cookie or glass of vino, whatever your weakness is, and overestimate the cost of things that do serve us well – going for that exercise routine, making that presentation at work.
Carrots and sticks, the ones we chase and we run from – let’s focus on better choices.
Take a weakness that you’ve been ignoring, what price is waiting for you down the road? Time to refocus?
Take a block that you’ve been avoiding, again – what’s the price of continued ignorance? Time to push through the fear and do it anyway?
Ok, action time, stop chasing the carrots and running from the sticks!
Get real about benefits and costs!
In a recent training I was asked how leadership differs from management.
Well for a start, it’s personal.
There is little difference between who you are as a person and who you are as a professional.
As a leader you bring your whole self to work and are adept at managing all different aspects of yourself. Leadership is not just a mental challenge, it’s also emotional and physical.
Do you know what kind of a leader you wish to be?
Are you able to identify what’s going on and distinguish which areas you need to develop?
Do you know your limits and move through your activities with productive energy and enthusiasm, even when you’ re being tested?
Who benefits when you take the time to clarify your leadership role?
How can you best lead change, your stakeholders, your team, yourself?
