Are You Walking Your Talk?

What this means is to be in integrity with what you say and model the behaviors you want to see in others.

You don't want your team working themselves into the ground? Don't do it yourself.

You want people to remain optimistic? You remain optimistic.

You want your team to share how they are struggling? You share.

You want your team to take care of themselves? You take care of yourself.

You want people to be patient and understanding? You be patient and understanding.

You want people to listen to you? You listen to them.

You want people to show caring and compassion? You show caring and compassion.

You want your kids to stop yelling? You stop yelling.

You want people to put their phones down and be present? You know what to do!

It always goes both ways, whether it's with your team, your family or anyone around you.

Walking my talk is a huge reason I have been able to remain calm, present and balanced these past few years, even when life is feeling chaotic or messy.

When you walk your talk, you model the behaviors you want to see.

It will not only make you more effective as a leader, but more importantly, it will help you to stay in integrity with your values and the person you want to be.

Be bold. Where in your life can you be better about walking your talk?

This isn’t about perfection. We ALL have days where we don’t show up as our best or do what we say. Be kind to yourself, let it go, and get back to walking YOUR talk.

All my best,

What Next?
