Unlocking Your Potential: An Introduction to Staying In Demand as a Leader
Hello there, current and future leaders! Welcome to this first edition of my newsletter. I'm here to explore and share tools and resources to help you stay in demand as a leader. Let's unlock your potential together and dive into the secrets of becoming and staying a leader everyone looks up to.
Embrace Continuous Learning ๐
The first step to staying in demand as a leader is embracing continuous learning. The world is ever-changing, and so should your knowledge. Read books, attend seminars, or even take online courses. Don't just learn about leadership; expand your horizon. What's your favorite way to learn? Let me know and suggest a topic you'd like me to cover next!
Focus on Emotional Intelligence ๐ง
Next up is emotional intelligence. A good leader understands and manages not only their emotions but also the emotions of their team. It's about empathy, self-awareness, and social skills. How do you handle emotions in your leadership role? Share your experiences and tell me what topic related to emotional intelligence you'd like me to delve into.
Become Masterful at Unlearning ๐ฏ
Lastly, unlearning is critical. It involves identifying and replacing behaviors that are not serving us anymore. It takes time and effort as we are invested in our ways of doing things. If you haven't done so already, subscribe to the "Live & Unlearn" podcast below to gain insights and challenge yourself to master unlearning. The episodes are short (5-10 minutes), aiming at reaching you on the go. Or when you set aside some minutes to reflect on your progress. Please share your tips and suggest an unlearning-related topic for my following newsletter.
That's all for this time, leaders. Remember, leadership is a journey, not a destination, and I'll keep inspiring you biweekly on what shows up for me in my leadership assignments as an advisor and a coach. Keep learning, keep unlearning, and keep leading.
Until next time,
Katy
