Building your leadership vitality is the commitment to no longer accept that simply surviving the day is enough. It’s about facing the day with strength, energy, presence and vigor – and ending the day that way also.
Curiosity is a mindset and approach focused on creating clarity. This involves asking questions to connect to the bigger picture and deeper purpose while also being open the fact that the answers may be challenging or different from what you expected. Time, energy and dedication are wasted if your actions take you further away from your values, career ambitions and life aspirations.
Capability focuses on identifying strengths and detailers in your current skill sets specifically in the areas of social and emotional intelligence and designing strategies take you where you want to go. This process will always put progress over perfection as the balance of required skills and strategies may change as your professional and personal roles change.
Capacity focuses on transforming your approach, environment, and recovery practices to build emotional strength, mental resilience, physical health, and connection – the four components of Leadership Vitality. If you are committed to growth, learning and strengthening relationships but are depleted of energy, the chance of success is low. This step changes that.
Compassion focuses on mindfully examining beliefs and shifting self-imposed barriers to shape positive, confident and self-compassionate mindsets. This step is key to helping utilize the learning from your mistakes and challenges by giving the ability to view them through a lens of compassion. You can be kind to yourself while also being driven and successful.
Community is about creating connection with others by building a network of people willing to support you, hold you accountable, and provide meaningful, productive and honest feedback. Your actions inevitably impact others and engaging them grounds efforts, globalizes thinking and deepens relationships. The positive by-product of this step is that it helps you see how you can lift others along the way also.
Commitment focuses as much on taking action as it is about slowing down and cultivating the skill of reflection. To maintain commitment long term, reflection is required to ensure actions align with values, contribute to health, creates the career, relationships and work/life harmony that is both important to you, and sustainable for you.
To be a great leader, we need to lead ourselves first. SARAjROSS & Co. coaching and training will help you leverage the science of your emotions, mindsets, and energy to ensure the people and the places in your work and life that deserve the best of you, actually get the best of you (and that includes you).
