Value Added, Impact Multiplied
Some people seem to have more momentum in life than others, donât they? Their business is growing, their children are angels, and they seem to have amazing relationships. Especially if you watch social media posts! Do they have some sort of secret that the rest of the world doesnât know about?
Well, one thing Iâve noticed is that the people who understand certain principles of life tend to be more successful. And, one of those principles is the law of rhythm. The law of rhythm in its simplest form says that there are natural highs and natural lows and you are either going into a high or a low at any one time.
We see this in nature. The 4 seasons. The farming cycle. Day and night.
We can also apply this principle to our thought life. And this is what really successful people do. They know that there will be natural ups and downs and what to do when you experience those. For example, if you are feeling ill or injured- you might be in a low. When in a low, itâs time to rest and recover...
A mentor of mine once said, âYour character communicates to people in the room before you ever enter the room.â Who you ARE makes a difference!
I canât tell you how many times Iâve been asked to do a training for professional development and been told not to enter into the touchy-feely personal development area. Because personal development isnât âimportantâ in the workplace. Nay nay!
Who you are determines your success!
Your character communicates three things:
âLeaders listen.â Simon Sinek
When I started as a school administrator, I hate to say it, but I rarely listened â truly listened- to anyone. I was so caught up in my own world of deadlines, metrics, and demands to notice someone elseâs need. Over the years, with lots of training and experience, Iâve gradually learned how to connect with others more effectively. I also learned that when you connect will you get the results youâre looking for- almost as if itâs not any work at all!
Iâve learned a few tips about WHAT to listen to that Iâd like to share with you:
âGreat teams have great depth.â John C. Maxwell
Howâs your bench doing? If youâre developing a sports team, you know bench players are crucial to your success. The same is true for any team. There are 5 truths you need to know about bench players:
Whatâs your plan to develop your team? If youâd ...
âGreat teams have great depth.â John C. Maxwell
Leaders tend to focus on their top performers, their starter players. And for good reason! Itâs important to focus 80% of your time on the top 20% of performers to maximize your teamâs results.
You see this often in larger companies and businesses. They conduct training on increasing performance and larger leadership ideas with their top people and their leadership team, while the bench players of the team get training on compliance issues.
But what if one of your top performers leaves the team? Do you have a plan to replace them?
If you donât focus on your bench players and develop them, you could find yourself hurting.
Here are a few thoughts to considerâŚ
Are you stuck in analysis paralysis? Unsure what to do because you donât know HOW to do something?
Emerson said, âYou must not wait until you have proof- you must act as if it is there and it will come through. DO THE THING and you will have the power.â (emphasis added)
Whether youâre trying to grow a speaking business, get that new job, teach an online course, or a baby learning to walk, the same principles apply. You have to start, fail, continue, and learn the HOW as you go. Thereâs no other way.
Just ask yourself, âWhatâs the next best step?â Start doing that and youâll be amazed at your progress!
You know what to do â trust yourself!
âAlways think of what you have to do as easy and it will become so.â Emile Coue
A coach of mine asked me this question, âWhat if it didnât have to be difficult?â
That one questions totally changed my world!
You see, Iâve found that whenever I ask that question it takes out the feelings and emotions that often get in my way. It helps me forward. In a way it completely discounts the hurdles and helps your brain see a clear path. It definitely opens up your brain to more possibilities and choices.
One question has massive power!
So what if you could have access to 10 questions that might do the same? Would you sit and listen for those 10 questions? Would you find the gold in your answers to them? I bet you would!

What you sow, you will reap. You donât plant a corn seed and get spinach! The same is true for leadership.
What you plant inside your people will grow into maturity.
I coached a young and inexperienced leader several years ago; she was younger than everyone on her team. She believed that no one would listen to her because of her age and lack of experience. That belief drove her behavior. She showed up to meetings and didnât talk. She let people make their own schedules even though it didnât benefit the team. She never said anything about the problem behaviors she saw.
I think you can imagine the results!
She slowly realized the seeds she planted in her team by looking at those results (i.e. her crop). She had to take a long look at herself, her beliefs, how she wanted to show up. As we worked with her, she began planting better seeds (words of encouragement, facilitating discussions, approaching problems).
The more she sowed good seed, the better crop she got, and the more she wan...
"Every human being is hypnotized by ideas he has uncritically accepted from others or ideas he has repeated to himself or convinced himself are true." Maltz
âEVERYâ means me. You, Your team. Your family members, Every.
Iâve had many conversations with leaders this week about their frustrations with the people they are leading. It all boils down to this quote. We are all hypnotized, meaning we donât know what we donât know. And your people are no different!
What do you do if someone youâre influencing isnât aware of something- theyâve been hypnotized by past or present beliefs?
Look, I know this is difficult- I do it every day! AND, itâs the most difficult, simple thin...
"When the will and the imagination are in conflict, the imagination invariably wins every day," Emile Coue
There are lots of âcoachesâ our there today that yell and tell. They tote the use of will power and force through âhard workâ and âdisciplineâ and âsacrificeâ. They yell, âFollow my system no matter how hard it is!â
But the research and science donât prove that to be true. When you experience resistance, you get more of the thing youâre resisting. Worry is a great example.
If you try not to worry, you just worry about worrying!
What if you could change the âHAVE TOâ that your âcoachâ yells at you about into a âWANT TOâ that you never have to force again? Acceptance, excitement, imagination, and motivation all yield more power to get you your results than working 100 hours a week and following someone elseâs âsystemâ.
Stop using will power and start using your brain! If you need help with this, I can help! Leave a comment or send me a message and letâs chat.
