Change What?!

March 16, 2021 DrMaria

Sometimes when I start working with new clients they are afraid that I am going to change them or that they have to change who they are to be better leaders. The reality is—to be the best leader you can be, you must be authentic.

Authenticity is what attracts followers and speaks to people’s heads as well as their hearts.In coaching, we set goals for directions in which we want to move. We identify roadblocks or barriers that keep us from the movement we desire and create strategies to overcome those barriers.

Oftentimes those strategies may include a course correction in the path we already started. We may uncover some limiting beliefs we have about others or ourselves that may be holding us back. When that happens, a beautiful event occurs – we get to choose if we want to keep those barriers or change our course.

This is an important point to remember: we are not changing ourselves; we are changing our course of action.

What limiting belief or roadblock do you recall that changed your course of action? I’d love to hear from you.

With love,

Maria

Who Are You?

February 16, 2021 DrMaria
Comfort Zone

Who are you?

Do you remember the classic rock song by The Who, Who Are You?

It is truly one of my favorites! Little did I know when I first heard this song in 1978 that I would ponder the importance of this question almost 40 years later.

I returned from facilitating a leadership boot camp with Dr. Dorothy Bonvillain for the Sierra Vista Chamber of Commerce. We talked about the importance of leadership authenticity and vulnerability, which of course, begins with self-awareness and a ton of bravery.

We tell the truth to ourselves when we acknowledge our own imperfections. As we move through our journey, “to deny imperfections is to deny our humanity and to become disconnected from our soul.”1

Accepting our imperfections and taking the introspective, reflective journey, we travel to our core and find our authentic leader within.

As always, I love hearing what you have to say. What do you suppose keeps us from our vulnerability and authenticity as leaders?

With love,

Maria
