Have you been craving some recognition for all your amazing hard work and contribution?
If so, itâs no wonder. You deserve it!
One of our primary drivers of happiness is the desire to feel acknowledged and valued. If youâve been going over and above the call of duty, producing stellar results, but have not been receiving the recognition you want and deserve, here are three ways you can light a fire under the behind of others, so they take notice of you and laud your efforts and accomplishments.
1.) Hone It and Own It.Â
Repeat to a trusted friend, family member or to yourself in the mirror every day for at least a week at the same time every day. You can even send an audio message to someone:
âI am excellent at âŚ.., and I bring tremendous value to âŚâŚ. I love it because âŚ.., and I speak about my area of passion and expertise to three colleagues, family members or friends a week.â
Then write down who it will be and when youâll reach out.

Something extraordinary happened at Xerox between 2001 and 2009, prior to the only woman to woman CEO changing of the guard in a large Fortune 500 company. For almost a decade, Ann Mulcahy was a fierce ally and supporter of Ursula Burns, so there would be a smooth transition when Ursula became CEO in 2009. In Mulcahyâs HBR article How I Did It: Xeroxâs Former CEO on Why Succession Shouldnât Be a Horse Race, she was not threatened by the brilliant, outspoken, and power of Burns. Mulcahy recognized Burnâs strengths, challenged her to improve her weaknesses and championed her for almost a decade until Burns eventually replaced her as CEO.Â
What can we learn from these two compassionate and powerful women, and how can we use this wisdom to empower more female leaders, emerging leaders and male allies, especially those who sit on the margins?
Quite a lot, but here are two important things to ponder and hopefully take action on:

If youâre feeling overwhelmed, not sleeping well, dropping off your routine or your productivity is tanking... the good news is that youâre normal.
The not so good news is that youâre allowing your light to be dimmed. (Woo woo translation: your purpose-driven goodness that you are able to put into our family, your company and into the world is slowing down, and in some cases stopping all together.)
No bueno for you, your job security or those whom you influence.
You matter. A lot. Letâs make sure you understand how to manage your internal world, so you can keep contributing purposefully towards your dreams and feel joy along the way.

Happy New Year 2021Â Limitless Leader family!
Yep, this community has a new name with some new content, curriculum and commitments. Hereâs wishing you beautiful moments, treasured memories, and all the blessings a heart can know as we emerge from a most unprecedented year. This will be a year of saying âyesâ to speaking up, being heard, and being courageous for the things that matter most to YOU.
First, consider... Do you ever get distracted and veer from whatâs most important?
Maybe youâre so busy that you donât have time to focus on what really matters to have massive impact this year?Â
We all do, but there are a couple things that sets the best apart from the rest.
Maybe itâs time for a âcourse correctionâ... so you can fully lean into this year with purpose-driven clarity, confidence and influence.
This is important now more than ever, donât you think?Â
World-class performers have laser-like focus when it comes to their long-term visio...
I never stop being impressed with this community. Despite a most unusual and challenging year, goodness, impact and momentum have prevailed. It is with sadness for all those who have suffered and also with gratitude for the purpose driven course-correction that has been demanded of all of us this year.
What will 2021 bring? YOU decide, and letâs make it happen.
What impact do you want to have?
How do you want to spend your days?
Whose lives do you want to touch?
What recognition would you like to receive?
How do you want to feel about your contribution, your energy, your freedom, your passion projects, your career, and your legacy?
You should know by now that I believe wholeheartedly, and I work with the scientists who have proven my quote to be true (namely Dr. Anders Ericsson, author of Peak)âŚÂ
âYou are only limited by what you think is possible.â
Hereâs to reaching new heights and a happy and healthy 2021!
With gratitude for you an...
First, thank you for becoming a new subscriber or for being a subscriber to our community for many years. Your willingness to continue to learn and grow makes you world-class. I mean it wholeheartedly when I say, you are a gift. A gift to your family, your colleagues, clients and ultimately to the world.
Our community motto for 2021 is âHone It and Own Itâ because you deserve to shine your light as bright as ever in 2021, and you must. There is something that will inevitably get in the way though, so letâs deal with it now, so we can be unencumbered by it in 2021⌠This invisible barrier is called âpreferenceâ.
Preference is a funny (and troublesome) thing. When we prefer that something entirely out of our control is a certain way and it isnât, more often than not it creates anxiety, frustration and sometimes even anger. These snowballs that we build into avalanches with our mind tend to extinguish our best work. Our creativity, productivity, innova...
