Successful Leaders Have a System

What is leadership, really? The difference between Leadership and Management – and why both are necessary. At its core, we define leadership as the ability to inspire and motivate people to action. But excellent leadership takes it further. It’s not just about doing—it’s a way of being, doing, and serving that in a way that contributes to the greater good.

How to Make Better Leadership Decisions: Procrastinating with Purpose

Debbie Collard

Leaders often fall into the trap of prioritizing action – any action – over procrastination. Deadlines loom and as the leader people look to you to be swift, decisive and powerful.

Inspiration for the Next Season: RESOLVE

Susan Ireland

I find that the end of each quarter is a good time to take stock of how I am doing on my resolutions. To re-inspire myself, I re-read my sister-in-law’s new year’s letter that I keep on my desk because I find it so motivating. Kristine Wilson sent this letter to her community to help inspire others to meet their goals. I share, with her permission, with our community to inspire you.

Self-Affirmation & the Magic of a “Love Me Drawer”

Debbie Collard

We never know when we will get positive affirmation from others and there is no guarantee that it will come along when we need it most. This means that we benefit from having a method for self-affirmation that keeps us motivated.
