June 2024 Wrap-Up: Recognizing and Celebrating Our Achievements

As we wrap up the month of June, it's important to take a moment to reflect on our journey and celebrate the successes we've achieved, no matter how small they may seem. In times of change and disruption, recognizing our progress helps us stay motivated and focused on our long-term goals.

Why Celebrate Small Successes?

  1. Boosts Morale: Celebrating small wins can significantly boost morale and motivation. It's a reminder that progress is being made, even if it's incremental.
  2. Builds Momentum: Acknowledging small achievements creates momentum. Each success builds confidence and encourages us to keep moving forward.
  3. Reinforces Positive Behavior: Recognizing and celebrating successes reinforces the behaviors and strategies that lead to those wins, creating a positive feedback loop.

Reflecting on Your Wins

Take some time to reflect on the past month. What goals did you set? What progress did you make? Here are a few ways to reflect on and celebrate your achievements:

Retaining and Motivating Your Top Female Leaders!

 

I hope this message finds you excited to join me at this Thursday's webinar!

I wanted to share a quick but impactful video with you. It’s all about how female leaders can thrive during disruptive times, and it offers some practical tips you can start using today.

In the video (above), I cover:

  • Managing Fear: Turning fear into a motivational tool.
  • Goal Setting: The importance of setting short, intermediate, and long-term goals.
  • Mindset Shifts: Moving from "what if" to "imagine if."

Why is this important?

Research from the American Psychological Association and the Peterson Institute for International Economics highlights that female leaders enhance productivity, collaboration, and profitability. However, many organizations struggle to retain this invaluable talent, but I have a proven framework to help female leaders stay motivated and feel in control, even in chaotic times.

Go from "What if" ā€¦ to "Imagine if" (Transforming Your Fear with the Power of Goal Setting)

Some teams can face change head on and rarely miss a step. For many though, change spurs uncertainty, fear, and distraction.

Most of us simply don’t naturally embrace change.

Change can often feel like a storm at sea, at any moment there is a possibility of being flung overboard, the ship may capsize or when the sea returns to calm, you realize you are not on board.

Staying motivated through change is hard and costly.

It affects productivity, and ultimately, profitability.

Through all my years coaching Olympic athletes, female executives and their teams, time and time again I have seen how my clients have flipped fear on its head and turned it into something they can use to keep on track and stay motivated and highly productive.

Fear and insecurity often hold teams back during times of disruption... but it doesn’t have to.

What Creates Calm and Feeling in Control

When it comes to mastering change, it’s important to feel a sense of agency, and a specific way of world-class...

Why S.M.A.R.T. Goals Are Dumb in 2023

(Scroll to the bottom to view the video.)

In 1976, Steve Wozniak suggested to Hewlett Packard (his employer at the time) the idea of creating a personal computer. He was rejected, so he and his friend Steve Jobs got to work themselves on their dream of individual creativity for each user.

Martin Luther King had a dream that someday we would all be equal.

When Michael Phelps was 7 years old, he had a dream that there were no limits on what he could achieve.

Did these world-class performers meet all of the criteria of S.M.A.R.T. goals (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely)? No. They dreamt big and worked every day like that dream was possible, even through massive setbacks and failures.

Here are a couple of reasons why YOU should dream big too:

1.)  Broad to Narrow:

When you dream big, are more optimistic, and shoot for the stars. You are more aware of opportunities that present themselves. This broad awareness may lead you to be more confident and throw your hat...
