“Because you can't create your dreams without leading yourself."
As we navigate change and transformation in the world, leadership is crucial. Yet, we are in the midst of a leaderless society. It’s easy to see and hear the anti-establishment messages everywhere. Trust is low across all sectors: politics, policing, education, healthcare. Even religion, as we know it from thousands of years, is dying out. The revolution is happening.
But without leaders, positive role models, and models of demonstration, structures or codes to live by, in how to navigate the uncertainty, who do we turn to?
During leaderless times, Personal Leadership is more important than ever!
In essence, I define Personal Leadership as intentionally guiding your thoughts and emotions to achieve your desired results.
But really, it's much more than that, especially in what is required to be developed as well as what it enables you to access.
Why is Personal Leadership Important?
The practice of personal leadership increases responsibility, resilience, and the ability to navigate challenges to create purpose-driven impact. This is what the world is deeply craving to be demonstrated and, as a result, becomes highly attractive for others to model.
My focus for facilitating Personal Leadership is directed towards mindset and approach on an emotional level to create lasting transformative results by providing the tools that cultivate competencies to lead oneself.
Across the four interior empires of personal performance—Mindset, Heartset, Healthset, and Soulset —there are four key dimensions to build competencies within for effective Personal Leadership.
Four Dimensions of Personal Leadership
Self Awareness (Mindset)
Strengths & Weaknesses
Values & Motivations
Perceptions & Beliefs
Triggers & Reactions
Self-Regulation (Heartset)
Managing Self Effectively
Emotional Intelligence
Stress Management
Impulse Control
Behavioural Adjustments
Intentions & Achievements (Mind & Heartset)
Clarity & Direction
Goals & Outcomes
Planning & Action
Time & Productivity (Logistical Frameworks)
Decision Making
Prioritisation
Responsibility
Work / Life Balance
Personal Leadership is an exciting area to continue to develop because it's a lifetime pursuit. You never reach the end, but your life experience increases exponentially with each new development.
One of the easiest and most effective self-guided practices to access the benefits of enhanced Personal Leadership competencies is a well-structured journaling routine. The Parallaxx Progress Journal excels in targeting all the above criteria with a promise of the highest level results. It is also guaranteed to be the most valuable journal on the market today.
