Cultivating an Influential Mindset Through Healthy Habits and Boundaries

accountable boundaries habits influence mindset outcome Jul 23, 2024

You can be successful, and still feel like there is more. More for you to give and contribute, more impact to be made, and more joy to feel from your work.

Is it possible that it may be time to pivot?

There are many ways to successfully pivot, whether internally within your company or your current career, or an external pivot toward something entirely different. This is not typically easy and can require a great deal of personal influence.

Here’s how to get started with an influential mindset reset, coupled with setting healthy habits and boundaries:

1. Believe in Yourself

Your ideas, your worth, and your contribution are valuable. If you don’t believe you are worthy of influence in a new and often unfamiliar role, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to influence others. The voice that we should pay attention to the most is our own, even when it is a negative voice. So a great place to start is with strong positive daily affirmations. For example, "I take consistent action towards my next level of...

Time for a Summer Reset: Reevaluate and Reenergize

boundaries change habits learning reflect Jul 09, 2024

Summer is the perfect time for a reset. With the slower pace and longer days, it's an ideal opportunity to step back, reflect, and make meaningful changes to enhance your well-being and productivity.

As we step into Q3, here’s how you can set new boundaries, incorporate healthy habits, and explore new learning opportunities for both you and your team to ensure a productive and profitable second half of the year.

1. Pause and Reflect:

While it may not seem productive, pausing to reflect on the past 6 months is the best thing you can do to ensure productivity within your team. Take a moment to assess whether the pace you have been running at is sustainable, and importantly, is it still going in the right direction. Are you and your team able to keep going? Or will someone drop out of the race before the finish line? Is a little course correction needed to make sure everyone can stay in the game?

As a fearless female leader, your voice is needed, especially at this time of the year, s...

Are You Speaking Up For Yourself Enough?

be heard boundaries resilience speaking up strategy Jun 01, 2023

My daughter Megan recently graduated from the University of San Diego. Being the youngest in the family with two brothers who were Division 1 athletes, and who made it through college seemingly easily and now successfully into the ‘real world’, there have been some big shoes to fill (at least in her mind:).

I’ve told her over the years that her traits of resilience, determination, hard work, and love for others cannot easily be taught, and those are the traits of some of the most successful people in the world.

I shared with her that greatness is often born from struggle. It’s as if G-d, the universe, or whatever higher power you believe in, wants to give us a big shove, see us fall on our face (maybe a few times), and see how we handle getting up, dusting off, and moving forward to see if we can handle what’s in store for us.

If we learn, grow, and persevere, that seems to be when the magic happens. The next step toward what we are truly capable of.

Now that Megan is heading i...
