Courage >> courage isn’t the absence of fear but the ability to act in spite of fear. Real change happens outside of our comfort zone. So, when you feel fear, rather than to give in to it, move strategically forward in the desired direction.
Radical Responsibility >> stop the blame game. Taking radical responsibility in every situation and taking action towards the world you envision, will drive a proactive mindset of conscious business.
Healthy Anger >> it is needed for you to know what works and doesn’t work in the present moment. For leaders, learning to stay present with anger which denotes something is not okay with you; and then creating an action plan to remedy the problem and establish better working efforts will be a key future skill.
Emotional Intelligence >> need deep emotional awareness and radical empathy skills to behave in a manner that goes beyond self interest.
Sensuousness >> we have been driven by cultural, capitalistic and materialistic forces for a very long time, to the point that we have lost touch with our true nature as human beings. Moving into a state where we experience the world through our senses not only allow for healthy emotional connectedness, but it also means better decisions will be made.
Self-Care >> many of us neglect the care of our physical selves, especially when leading a business or a team. That’s a big mistake. Taking good care of your health is a fundamental skill in building sustainable leadership. Eating a life-enhancing diet and prioritizing regular exercise no matter how crazy your schedule may seem. And don’t neglect sleep – sleep is another foundational physical health skill.
Determination >> being committed to a larger vision helps you handle the hard times and avoid being thrown off by temporary ups and downs. Be a goal digger. Recommit your goal often; daily is preferred and consistently consider how committed you are to reaching this vision. The more committed you are, the likelier your vision will come true.
Vulnerability >> how people who fully embrace vulnerability believe that quality is what makes themselves and others beautiful. Allowing your team to see you as a whole and imperfect person, as well as a role model, will inspire the kind of atmosphere where teams thrive and creativity & innovation flourish.
Risk Tolerance >> failure is an opportunity to learn and grow. Allowing for room to fail is the same as allowing for room to succeed. This seedling space requires creativity, play, trial & error; and thus imperfection.
Playful Curiosity >> seek out potential opportunities and get curious. When conflict arises, approach it from a place of curiosity rather than feeling victimized. First, look inward…how did you cause this situation to happen? Then, look outward and get curious about the other person’s reaction and think about how that person might see the world from a playful attitude. If you can do this, creative solutions will appear in a playful space that is otherwise not available.
