FIVE QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION AND PREPARATION:

Did you realize that we only have 20 more days in 2023?

While it is a time to rewind, review,and reflect it is also time to prepare for what's next.

In business, we often talk about assessing systems, processes, and administrative efficiency. Organizational assessment has great value for a leader to take inventory of the of overall leadership
impact.

But beyond that, the leadership must also take inventory of themselves.

Here are 5 Leader Questions for What's Happening Now and to Prepare for What's Next:

(+) Addition: What is ADDING to your life, mission, future?
(-) Subtraction: What is SUBTRACTING from your life, mission, future?
(x) Multiplication: What is MULTIPLYING good in your life, mission, future?
(÷) Division: What is DIVIDING your focus and distracting you from your vision?
(=) Sum: What do the SUM of these answers equate to and what do they mean for your future?

Get a journal, make some notes and answer these simple questions. You just might be surprised by what you come up with.

You’ve heard of colorblindness before, but have you heard of PEOPLE-BLINDNESS?

Colorblindness is the inability to see colors, people-blindness is the inability to see people because of the preconceived notions and incomplete paradigms in which we filter life through.
Paradigms are the windows we look through to perceive and understand the world around us.
When paradigm is shifts, it transforms the way we see.
To get it right more often, we have to accept our propensity to get it wrong. When we deny our people-blindness, the more blind we become. When we accept our potential for people-blindness the more we can see.
Let’s see ourselves authentically so we can see the world more accurately.

This is a talk from a little over a year ago called "The Way of the Warrior".

I talk about overcoming adversity and how we can all bounce back from whatever comes our way by gaining strength from the "lowlights" of life.

This isn't an easy process, but if we face it we can fix it.
