It's Time to Put Yourself First!
Created 2 years ago in Skills & Management / Leadership
Taking time out to focus on yourself doesn’t come natural for a lot of people. There’s usually something else or someone else who needs you more, or you simply don’t have the time.
I know from supporting many leaders and business owners that you may be hesitant to put time aside for yourself, as you may feel guilty. So, you plod on, thinking you’ll get round to it. But the reality is …you don’t!
Your diary is really busy. It’s full of back to back meetings and ‘stuff’! There’s hardly a space when something isn’t booked in, as you rush around at 100mph.
It leaves you with a lack of energy and feeling like you’re not making a difference, despite all your hard work.
This doesn’t mean you don’t have what it takes to be a great leader. It means you’re not putting yourself first.
It’s time to give yourself permission to focus on you.
It’s time to switch your attention from ‘over there’ to ‘over here.’ That means switching your attention from everything else and everyone else, to you.
Failing to focus on yourself and your practice only results in a busy approach of doing what comes next, rather than what needs to be done. That’s why it’s so important to focus on your self-leadership. And have a good understanding of what you stand for, what motivates you, what energises you, and what you do well.
I can help you get this, no matter where you are in your journey.
