Check out last week’s newsletter: Do You Feel Stuck?

SLOWING DOWN TO SPEED UP

Did I get your attention talking about the superpower for leadership?

Do you want to know what it is?

Are you sure?

It’s REFLECTION!

I know, not the most exciting thing you could hear, but let’s think about the top 10 qualities you think of a leader and only a small percentage of people would reflection on that list (we talked about it in this latest episode). But the reality is that being an effective communicator, listener, vision caster, or empowering leader takes reflection!

As leaders, it’s easy to get caught up in what we’re doing, but activity doesn’t always mean accomplishment. The power comes when we evaluate our experiences and our actions to be more effective as leaders.

This leads perfectly into the conversation I had with my recent guest, Brittany Johnson. . She is a SOULpreneur, educator, poet, foodie, and so much more! She shares about the power of going back to the drawing board in the recent episode that you don’t want to miss!
