Are YOU Fully engaged in your Life and Leadership?
Today, right now ... it seems that for a lot of people, it is harder to have faith, to believe in a better future, sustain optimism and be as excited about all the possibilities life offers. In short it is harder to be engaged ... to keep "your heart in the game." As a leader the need to inspire and engage others has never been greater.
How engaged are you? Do you know how to engage and inspire others?
We are all being asked to make assessments and examine our approach to living and leading, as we face the challenges of a new emerging world. Will you answer the call with a fresh perspective and a new sense of daring that begs you to be more fully alive and aware than you have ever been?
Go ahead ... take this quiz and see how you are doing! Count up the number of Yes's.
Do you have a vision or a dream that gets your heart pumping and your adrenalin flowing? Are you making choices and taking the risks to make it real?
Do you know where your company is going and encourage people to play a big part in getting there? Do you know what people care about, where their talent and interest lies and how they can contribute to build more success?
Do you take 100% responsibility for your life - for the experience you have created, for this moment you are in, for the future that is unfolding?
Do you hold yourself and others accountable to meeting potential, taking action and adding value?
Are you excited about waking up to a new day - do you look forward to the opportunities and possibilities that lie ahead?
Do you intentionally pass on a positive vibe to others through your greeting, saying their name, looking them in the eye and acknowledging something specific about who they are being or what they are doing?
Are you clear about your values and hold yourself accountable for living them daily, in spite of what others might think or say?
Do you encourage others to think about how they get to act on their values in a day ... in other words, to think about how what they do is aligned with what they care about?
Do you embrace change and stay open, curious and focussed on what next and how to go further?
Do you have a vision or a dream that gets your heart pumping and your adrenalin flowing? Are you making choices and taking the risks to make it real?
Do you consciously cool down and remove yourself from the noise so that you can slow your pace, reflect and take time to consider how you are living your days and your life?
Do you support and model a balanced lifestyle?
Do you view setbacks and mistakes as learning opportunities perfectly designed to help you get stronger, smarter, more compassionate and creative about how to move ahead, make a difference and live your dream?!
Are you endlessly curious and fascinated about what else ... with people, things, ideas ... are you genuinely interested in understanding more, connecting deeper and expanding your capacity for love and life?
Do you choose your perspective and consciously decide to speak positively, optimistically, and with hope while still acknowledging the hard bits of reality?
Have you learned to recover quickly? Do you recognize when you are off your game and make a choice to get centered and ready to play again?
Are you aware of your impact on others and consciously aim to leave them feeling better rather than worse as a result of your conversation or interchange ... even if it's on the phone?
Do you speak honestly and truthfully about what you want? Do you set limits, make requests and establish boundaries with your loved ones, friends and colleagues?
Are you paying attention? Are you absorbed with what is happening right now? Do you notice when you are in your head and not hearing, seeing, tasting, feeling ... EXPERIENCING the moment you are in right now?
Can you listen to people without judging, assessing, rehearsing, preparing and thinking about what you will say next? Can you sink into a conversation with pure love and fascination appreciating WHO you are talking to and what they are offering?
Are you taking good care of yourself? Are you eating well, exercising, sleeping, relaxing and connecting with people and investing in your ability to contribute over the long haul?
Do you frequently allow yourself to play, be silly and let loose? Do you ask yourself regularly ... "Am I having fun?!"
Do you lean into life - seeing it as more than a journey, more like an adventure with new experiences and fresh opportunities to risk and test your potential and contribute more than you thought possible?
