Leading Self & Others

In our newsletter today you will find 3 short pieces, each relating to both self-leadership and leading others:

  1. The Comments Section … the cheap seats in The Arena (Dare To Lead)
  2. Leadership: Glorious? A burden? Or both?
  3. Stories of courage

You will find the insights and wisdom of others in each of these pieces, as well as reflection questions for your consideration – plus a final piece about something we’ve been working on recently: “My Courageous Self.”

The difference between knowing and doing is courage

In our newsletter today, you will find out what we’re doing, based on what we know. You’ll find:

    • My Courageous Self, a program that invites you to build your map of courage and chart your own future course of courage
  • Stories of courage in which people have turned their knowing into doing 
  • Books that we’re reading which provide strategies for doing; that is, strategies for increasing our knowledge and ability to do

These are a few of my favourite things …

One of my most favourite things is to do is to encourage others to open doors in order to learn, to grow and to thrive. To enable this, in my practice as a facilitator and executive coach, I have a number of favourite exercises, quotes, tools and more—some of these, I invite participants to use; some are for my own use to ensure that I am the best version of myself in all I do.

A past courageous act in the future

Living in Moscow in the late 1990s I had to be courageous. I had to learn a new language, speak it and make myself understood. Since all of the signs were in Cyrillic, I had to learn a new alphabet to make sure I didn't get hopelessly lost on the Moscow Metro. I needed courage to maintain motivation working as a consultant during the Russian financial crisis and to trust the Russian translator when facilitating workshops.
