If you are looking to invest in your growth as a leader I would like to make you aware of one of my favorite leadership events each year, Leadercast. This transformational event will be held this Friday May 5th.
See my overview post here: Leadercast Overview
Leadercast was recently named by Forbes as one leadership conference you don’t won’t to miss in 2017.
Each year I come away inspired with a notebook full of new insights to help me grow and successfully overcome the challenges that leaders face.
The year’s theme is, “Powered By Purpose”. This event will inspire you and encourage you in your growth as a leader and a person. You will learn at the feet of leaders who are known around the world for their accomplishments and leadership abilities.
This one-of-a-kind event will be broadcast live from Atlanta and simulcast into communities across the globe. For more details and to register check out their site: Leadercast.com
In anticipation of this year’s Leadercast event I am re-posting some of my favorite content from past events. Below are my notes from Suzy Welch 2011 talk.
- In response to an interviewer who she knew when she was 23 who keep describing how she was back in the day she commented: “Stop this interview! I am not that girl any more! I have moved on! I am a different person from that young girl you knew back then. And I am not yet the woman I will become!”
- This is the cause of great rejoicing
- We are not finished product
- This can be a source of panic as well.
- I want to change but I can’t….
We get stuck on journey of who we used to be on the way to who we want to become!
Answer 3 simple questions
- I used to make Gut and Guilt decisions, reaction decisions.
- We have to use our brains, we must stop just reacting!
- You have to take charge, be proactive, take hold of my decisions.
- You cannot be reactive for long without failure.
- When making decisions think about consequences in terms of how it will impact things in 10 minutes, 10 months, 10 years.
- It is not only about slowing down, it is about opening up and making your decision-making process more deliberate.
- This changed how I made my decisions, it has worked and I have become more successful in all areas of my life since I started doing this.
10-10-10 works so well because it connects your decisions to your values!
- You must coordinate your decisions with your values.
- Your values are your fingerprint!
- Your values are very specific to who you are.
- Your values define how you want to live, the legacy you want to leave and the character and lifestyle you want to live.
- Your is Legacy is what you want to leave!
Question #1–Your Legacy: What would make you cry at your 70th birthday party with regret?
- This help identifies the legacy you will leave.
- What will your legacy look like?
- You have to know what your values are in order to know what you want your legacy to be.
Question #2-Your Character: What do you want people to say about you and your character when you are not when you are in the room?
Question #3–What did you love about your upbringing? & What did you hate about your upbringing?
- It is hard to talk about what we don’t like but it is important to think about and recognize those issues as well.
- We need to understand what we didn’t like because we tend to mimic the things that we don’t like about our upbringing.
- We need to acknowledge and work not to repeat the same things with our families.
When you start doing this you start living authentic!
- Authentic living is enjoyable and you share.
- The upside is amazing!
- I am not the girl you used to know but I am on the journey to who I am going to become.
- In order to make good decisions you must connect decision-making to your values.
