How to Tap Your Untapped Potential
Have you ever felt like there is more to life than what meets the eye? That you are capable of doing something extraordinary but have never found the time, energy, or motivation to live up to your potential?
​
If so, rest assured you are not alone. Most people never experience anything close to their potential because frankly, they are not even sure where to start.

Do you ever feel like your questions are too simple or that they don't really make a difference? Maybe you're asking the wrong questions. Great leaders have always realized that if we want to change lives, it's not just about what we say but how and when we ask questions. Let me show you how easy it is to start asking powerful questions today.
Strategic Thinking - What Is It and Why Is It Important?
Strategic thinking is one of those things that a lot of people have an idea about, but don't really know the definition of. Strategic thinking helps you plan and solve problems in ways that others might not be able to. It can help you come up with new ideas or solutions to existing problems, which are usually more successful than reactive approaches. Strategic thinkers are also good at balancing short-term objectives with long-term goals. They think outside the box by considering unusual alternatives and generating creative insights into complicated situations and business issues.
​
Many times we look at problems and challenges and attempt to solve them without applying strategic thinking. We don't consider our own biases, or we reject the ideas of others because they're not what we think. Strategic thinkers will accept and incorporate a variety of perspectives to generate new insights into challenges - accepting that there may be more than one way to solve problems.
Leadership: Constant Responsibility
Leaders, CEOs, and managers are always on duty. They cannot turn it off when they please because what is happening in their organization affects the people who work there every day.
Leadership is about being there when the people who work with you need it and providing support and encouragement no matter what they are going through. It's also about holding yourself accountable if something goes wrong and always watching for opportunities to make things better again (or in the case of really bad mistakes, learning from them).
​
Many leaders forget they are being watched constantly. Having had the opportunity to follow many successful leaders, I believe leaders have blind spots around their leadership skills. It's important to watch for those blind spots. They can take the form of bad habits, poor communication skills, or behaviors that don't align with what you want your people to do.

Have you ever thought about how your thoughts affect the way that you feel? Have you ever considered what would happen if your thinking was actually holding you back? These are all questions that I explore in, "Is Your Thinking Your Worst Enemy?" When we're unkind to ourselves, it can lead us down a path of self-sabotage and unhappiness.

In order to change your thinking, you must understand how your current thinking is a by-product of your past experiences, and other influences such as family, friends, books, and media. Once you understand the ways in which your thinking may be holding you back, there are certain steps that can help change your life and business.
