BOOST #4 | Are you prepared to fail?

Welcome to this solo series called BOOST, the purpose is to give you little BOOST to your day, to further provide ways to create a thriving organisation.
 
Are you courageous? Are you comfortable with not knowing? 
Here is a paraphrase of a Theodore Roosevelt quote.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood
who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
 
True courageous leadership is about:
Stepping into the arena and being seen, and being comfortable not knowing the outcome. Are we in time of not knowing right now? We are unable to predict the future. 
People want leaders who will lead courageously like this:
Listening with empathy
Confronting reality head on
Being real and authentic
Make decisions and moving forward
Communicating openly and frequently
What type of leadership are you going to choose today?

BOOST #3 | Overcoming change fatigue

Welcome to this solo series called BOOST, the purpose is to give you little BOOST to your day, to further provide ways to create a thriving organisation.
 
We are all experiencing tremendous amounts of change in our personal and professional lives. Constant and long term change can make you weary, can be tiring, can be exhausting – I’ve experienced this recently myself. 
So how do we overcome this fatigue? And get back the energy and motivation to press on.
Here is a way to do that.
We need to remind ourselves of our purpose, whether this is personal or for your company. Get back to the WHY! The reason. You know that your purpose creates the energy, motivation, inspiration and focus to keep going. So start to dwell on your purpose again. And despite the changes you are making, the reason you are adapting is to fulfil your purpose.
