Your Inner Voice

Dear Uncommon Leaders, 

As you close out the weekend, and prepare for a new week, remember to challenge and encourage yourself! 👏👊

Have an uncommon week!

Your Sunday Nugget

This Week's Question:

Do you have an inner “boss voice?”

This Week's Challenge: 

What we think and say to ourselves has tremendous impact on not only our mindset but also our behaviors and disciplines. Sometimes I have this inner voice that pops up and says things like

    “You don’t need to eat that.”

    “I know you don’t feel like working out but working out when you don’t feel like is good for you. So, work out!”

    “You need to go check on that employee. They don’t seem themselves today.”

    “Stop being lazy and finish that project."

This inner boss voice often compels me to take helpful action that sometimes I don’t feel like doing.

Do you have a voice like this? If not, this week your challenge is to cultivate it by speaking challenge and encouragement to yourself.

Remember, the hardest person you’ll likely ever lead is the one looking back at you in the mirror every morning.

This Week's Quote to Ponder:

“Self leadership always precedes team leadership.” Michael Hyatt

Until next week,

LET'S GO BE UNCOMMON!
