Do All Leaders ‘Walk the Talk’?

Is there a voice in your head asking HOW do the ‘best of the best’ leaders perform consistently, day in and day out? What’s their secret?
Leaders with highly developed interpersonal skills and strengths are more apt to deliver better financial results according to recent research at Cornell University. This recent study points out that soft skills such as “self-awareness” can be the difference that makes the difference in being a model of excellence in business.

Most leaders will attend at least one personal development course each year. However, marketing practices in the personal development industry are like bottom trawling for fish. Both use non-selective methods, casting a wide net in an effort to ‘catch’ anything that moves. Fish have no choice in the matter. Humans on the other hand can decide whether they want to jump into the net or keep swimming.
Too many interpersonal skills course options means you taking the time to decide which choice is the best for you. Most people say they find one seed of inspiration with each book, CD, seminar and coaching session. Unless that seed is planted really deep where self awareness resides there is little chance of you getting the success you want.
What if the secret to success was as simple as self application? What if by becoming acutely aware of how your ‘body mind’ works using select intra-personal skills you could activate the performance you want to be an excellent leader? How helpful would it be if you could design an authentic self leadership plan that works?
Learning how to be more self aware and using techniques to activate the resources you need to act excellently in any situation can be the ‘difference that makes the difference’ in your performance. Finding tools and techniques that when applied to self – work, means no matter what the context you will have access to more resourceful states to perform ‘on the spot’ with excellence.
How soon do you want to make a quantum leap to learn to be self aware, discover your authentic self and utilize state management skills that work for you ‘on the spot’?
Be daring. Be first. Be different. Be self aware. ‘Be Your Self Leader’.
