A local
expert provides five recommendations on a topic useful to small business
owners. This week, management consultant Ellen Castro talked to staff writer
Hanah Cho on being a “spirited leader.”
Castro is a
Dallas-based motivational speaker, management consultant and author of Spirited
Leadership: 52 Ways to Build Trust. She works with startups, small businesses
and Fortune 500 companies as well as nonprofits.
Thoughts
have power. Be positive, constructive and solution-focused. Begin today walking
into every meeting with the thought: “I am a champion. I am equipped.” Live
from the possibilities. You are far more powerful than you imagine.
Your choices
define you — not your DNA, past or environment. With faith and better choices,
spirited leaders live a life of authenticity and awesomeness. Be the first to
smile and be generous with encouragement and praise.
3. Live consciously
Everything
communicates. There are no neutral actions. You are always on stage. Everything
either adds to your credibility or detracts from your credibility. Credibility
is the foundation for trust and meaningful conversations that inspire and
motivate innovation, collaboration, teamwork and greatness.
4. Redefine failure
There are no
failures, only learnings. Everything is a coaching moment. Everyone is your
teacher. The only “failure” is not getting back up. Learnings build character,
strength, compassion and wisdom to better serve others — to help their paths be
easier, lighter and brighter.
5. It’s all about trust
Spirited
leaders know that life is for them. They believe that everything works together
for good. They trust they are always moving forward regardless of appearances.
Setbacks are simply setups for comebacks. They radiate their message with a
confidence that allows others to skyrocket to success regardless of external
factors.
There is definitely a lot to learn about this post. I like all of the points you made. See more at:- http://www.blanchardinternational.co.in/
