Self-Awareness
How aware are we of our strengths, weaknesses, our impact on others, or where we put our energy when we're on autopilot? Now more than ever, in this time of unprecedented fear and uncertainty, we owe it to ourselves and to others to be more discriminating about what we watch, read, listen to and share. 'People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance… They seem quite eager to feed you their negativity… Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.' - Steve Maraboli.
Take Charge of Your Development….
Coaching Thought:
Taking charge of your own learning is a part of taking charge of your life, which is an essential condition in becoming an integrated person. -Warren G Bennis
Continued Learning
There are many successful people in the world who have had not the advantage of formal education. Some famous high school dropouts are:
Albert Einstein (physicist); John D Rockefeller (oil magnate); John Glenn (astronaut); Steve Jobs (Apple co-founder); Henry Ford (entrepreneur and industrialist).
The qualities they all had in common were consistency, focus, curiosity, persistence, continued self-education, action-taking, calculated risk-taking - qualities we can all choose to focus on and become good at. There has never been a better time to seek, learn and upskill ourselves. 'While formal schooling is an important advantage, it is not a guarantee of success, nor is its absence a fatal handicap.' ~ Ray Kroc.
