Lead with Questions

Inspired Action

Start your day, or the next moment, by asking yourself a question or two that ignites your leadership. What is one actionable step I could take that would leverage what I know and do best? What do I need to assist me in dealing with my most critical -  not urgent - leadership priorities?

Take a Moment

Don't try to answer these questions right away. Let them just BE for a second or two while you focus on something that inspires you. Something that has nothing to do with your pressure-cooker day. This 1-minute practice clears and recharges your circuits. It makes it easier for you to see solutions and take inspired action. 

Sunny Inspiration

So distracted that nothing inspirational comes to mind? Well, these words of Sufi poet Hafiz make me smile and feel inspired every time I read or hear them. See if they have a similar effect on you.

Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, "You owe me."

Look what happens with a love like that, It lights the whole sky.
