If You Had a Megaphone

Today, Jodi and I get to share the stage with one of our long-time mentors, Maria Shriver. Ever since I attended one of the Women's Conferences she hosted years ago, I've been a fan of her community-building work.

Today, I dedicate our experience and ideas to everyone who can use the activities we put together in our book:

Two ways to Get Momentum

Before you know it, you're doing the thing that's the next thing to do on your list of responsibilities. You're busy, hurried, seemingly not able to get to some of those Most Important Things, the projects you keep hoping you'll get to. Now is the time to Get Momentum.

You know what you want to be doing, but you're not doing what you know you need.

Seeing where you were, and turning your back on what's not working...these are two ways you can get momentum today. If you want things to change, start by changing the way you do things.

1. Start Journaling Today
A year from now, you'll have a tough time remembering how challenging times are right now. You'll also be hard-pressed to realize how far you've come. For a month, write something every day. Use just one 3x5 note card, and at the end of the day write 6-12 sentences answering these three questions:

First: What did I finish today?
Second: Who helped me today?
Third: What am I grateful for today?

When you have those 30 cards, put them away to review a year from now. You'll be amazed at your growth, I promise.

2. Make a Not Doing List NOW!
Look at your calendar, review your to-do list, and think of the projects you think you need to do. Next, write a list of at least TEN things you are NOT going to do/think about/work on today (or better, this week!).

Give yourself the freedom you need to open yourself up to what could be. You deserve it.


If it were easy, you'd already be doing it. If it was just a matter of "doing it," or if you're lying to yourself thinking that you need more "time," then this is for you.

Go, Get Momentum.

Why? That's the question of the month...

This month, as I'm coaching GM Members around the world to be thinking more Strategically, I'm also studying the life and influence of the physicist and teacher Richard Feynman. (For an overview of/on this month's theme: www.GetMomentum.com/strategy.)

I read something he said some time ago that gave me pause:

"I learned something from this: that one should reconsider perpetually one's reasons for doing something, because it may be that the circumstances have changed."

I do believe that THAT is the purpose of studying this theme just now. With just 3.5 months left in the year, it may be time that you reconsider WHY you're doing what you do. And, we'll help you how with this month's Get Momentum Leadership Academy Theme:

How to Think and Work Strategically

 

 

What THEY lie to you about in management school

If you're an employee, you're a leader. If you are responsible for a function, some output that your department is "#KnownFor," you ARE a leader.

What Are You #KnownFor?

Maybe not in the #military or #political sense. But, every day that you wake up and in-tend to do/be/have something, you're leading.

Naturally, the question you're asking, "Who am I leading?" The answer always starts with a single pronoun: "You."

You're leading yourself. Through your morning rituals. As you make your way to your workplace. When you switch between tasks (or between distractions). As you make your way through the day, you're setting the direction you want to go in, and then your influencing yourself to take the actions necessary. When you think of leadership, you've got to start with the woman or man in the mirror.

Do You Trust You?

You see, when it comes to studying real leadership - or as we are coaching you this month: Strategic Thinking and Leadership - it is doubly-necessary to ask yourself the question "they" are avoiding. That question is:

Am I trustworthy?

Consider this: What makes a leader "followable"? Really, you can take all the leadership courses, read the leadership books, you can attend high-priced workshops that claim to be based on neuro-science and b-school research. Do any of those things and you're only - and always - left with this query:

As a result of learning this, will the people I'm leading trust me more?

Learning to be more followable should be the only thing that leaders study their first of promotion. How are you doing it?
