You first need to understand everyone is a leader. Someone is always looking to you as an example. Either an example for destructive behavior or lifting behavior. Thats why at ROYI we believe that the more you invest in you the better chance you will be the positive side of that leadership.

It’s not easy to be a great leader. Leadership requires a unique set of skills and personality traits. Few people are born great leaders, but everyone can maximize their leadership skills and qualities.

Many of us want to be better leaders, but don’t know where to start. There are many great books on leadership skills, but the effectiveness of skills is limited without the proper personality to execute those skills.

Develop these personality traits and be a great leader:

1. Boldness. Being a great leader takes guts. As a leader, it’s your responsibility to shoulder the blame for bad decisions and results. You need to set the course for your people. You’ll get most of the credit when things go wel...

What is Your ONE Thing?

There have been plenty of books written on Focus or finding your ONE thing. The reason for this, is because it is important. Clarity is critical. In High Performance Coaching we spend a lot fo time talking about Clarity. Here are some additional thoughts to consider outside of the 12 week one on one coaching sessions.

In all likelihood, you’re trying to be good at too many things. Trimming down your list of priorities can make you more effective. Focus your attention on the tasks that bring the most results.

What is the one thing that will move the needle in your career, relationship, or health? Have you even thought about it? The one thing that matters is often challenging or unenjoyable, but you might have more free time if you did that one thing instead of the three other things you’ve been doing instead.

Focus on your one thing:

1. Everyone has 24 hours each day. Everyone has 24 hours, but how you spend them is up to you. Some people manage to build huge...

7 Crucial Social Skills

No matter how great your social skills are, they could be even better. If your social skills are subpar, enhancing them might be the best thing you could do to supercharge your life.

You might believe that you were born with a set of social skills that you carry for the rest of your life, but that’s simply not true. With some attention, your social skills can be improved dramatically.

Develop these social skills and enhance your life: 

Likeability. Being likeable has so many social benefits. It can help you attain and maintain employment. It increases the number of friends you can have. It helps with your love life. There are books and courses available on how to be more likeable, but you can figure out a lot of what it takes to be likeable on your own. Think about someone you know that everyone seems to like. What is different about them from yourself or the average person? Become a likeability detective.

Listening. Socializing isn’t all about talking. Yo...

The offscreen part of the conversation with Julie was the best. If you have never interviewed someone, podcast, or vlogged with someone...you should. It is an amazing way to connect with incredible stories and inspiration. People come alive and are so willing to share and be vulnerable. It is so inspiring.

What is great about this podcast is that Julie never stops being vulnerable, inspiring and motivating about what it is to have the best life now. You can find out more about her athttps://awakenedlifecoaching.pro/?fbclid=IwAR2AwGAQI7Dz37_MDDyCh_J1VEohk8nDkbRg8PuKI1CdYX6H7PAzFEmntFQ

Self-awareness happens in layers. As we come into our own, we have an opportunity to reflect on who we are, what we like and don’t like about ourselves and our relationships, and ways to improve or simply accept ourselves.

Take a few minutes to complete the following writing exercise.  If you don’t like to write, make an outline of bullet points.

How are you different now than five years ago?
In what ways have you grown or changed? How did that happen?

Example:

• Less social - come to realize that I am in introvert and being alone is not a negative thing.
  

What do you like most about yourself? Character? Personality?
Other traits (not physical)?

Example:

• Care for others
  

What do you like least? What are you embarrassed by?
Ashamed of? Hiding from others?

Example:

• Mental health issues - shame
  

What do others say about you that you like to hear?
Do you think it is accurate?

Example:

• Fun, exciting,...

Vulnerability is hard. Sharing parts of ourselves that leave us feeling exposed and susceptible to hurt is not to be taken lightly. Identifying areas of vulnerability to consider how we want to respond if things come up can relieve some of the pressure.

Print This out as a ROYI Sheet. Invest in yourself and make commitments. 

Write about this for one area of vulnerability in your life. Repeat the process for other issues when you’re ready.

What is one issue you want to work with that makes you feel vulnerable.

Example:

• Being adopted.
  

What are some ways this comes up for you?

Example:

• When friends have babies or get pregnant, being around families with loving parents, when people talk about wanting children, seeing mothers and babies/children display affection.
  

What happens? How does it affect you?

Example:

• I usually just try to fade into the background - don’t make eye contact, stay...

Being present takes practice, and it can become a way of being as you master the skill.

Try the following activity the next time you are in the shower…

Close your eyes if you feel safe doing so – only if you have no balance or mobility concerns.

Focus on your senses one at a time. Stay with each one for a couple of minutes to see what else comes up. Name each sensation as you identify it. Pay attention to your body, your surroundings, and your thoughts.

If you find your thoughts drifting, identify that as ‘thinking’ and bring your mind back to your senses. No judgment – just practice refocusing.

What do you hear?

Listen to sounds in the foreground and the background. Water running, splashing as you move around, squeaking as you move your feet, dog barking…

What do you smell?

Soap, shampoo, dinner cooking in the other room, mint, lavender…

What do you feel?

Wetness on your hair and skin, slick/soapy feeling, water running down your back, hair sticking to your face, pain ...

Simple one.... I won because the fire inside me burned more than the fire around me. No regrets.
