Self-Leadership: Learn To Become Resilient & Successful

Do you want to have ‘supremacy’ in your activity (using the terminology of the Olympics)? Would you like to have this habit of starting things and seeing them to completion in time? Well, you can practice self-leadership. What is it?

Self-leadership is a behaviour pattern that turns you into the №1 person. Ok, now, what can you do? Here are the questions to ask yourself that can help you out.

In which area exactly do you want to be the best? Being determined and focused is crucial. Do not try to embrace everything at once. A great result comes out of systematic work and development. It’s crucial to learn about the area to avoid difficulties. Think about the following: what internal and external responsibilities you might be facing? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What stops you or vice versa — helps you get to your goal? The truth is that your virtues are equal to your opportunities. Use them!

What kind of professional and personal skills do I need to master?

You need to define what skills are necessary. What is it? Time management, the ability to say “no” or stand up for personal or professional boundaries? This will save tackling your time and effort, and in the meantime, your professional performance will increase.

How do you measure your results?

I’m asking myself: what have I done in a day? I do my morning planning and define my focus for the day. In the evening, I do some reflection and ask again ‘How did it help me move forward?’. The best decision is to write down concrete tasks and deadlines and compare the results afterwards. It’s preferable to do it by using numbers. This helps you have a clear vision of the situation.

What if I cannot get clear answers?

We’re constantly attacked by information on how to live, love, work, and so on. The influx gets us confused. Many things become relative and it’s super complicated to define what skill to get or how to measure performance. This is where life coaching might be a game-changer. A 90-minute session can make a difference in life. A coach does not just ask the right questions, they do help figure out priorities, true values, further focus, and success criteria. What’s working for others does not necessarily work for you and vice versa. That’s why it’s important to factor in your personality and work out a customized roadmap. A coach session is a two-way dialogue where a mentor and mentee collaborate for the sole purpose — to help you become a №1 person. It means you’ll increase productivity, make things clear about the waste of time, money, and efforts, find inner resources and work out exact steps to achieve a goal. You have clear answers inside you, but they are hidden behind fear, the wrong mindset, and conventions.
