Position or Choice: What are you going to do?

Watched a fantastic video this morning by Simon Sinek: Why Leaders Eat Last.


A great talk (and if you make the time to watch) and great takeaways if you have a pen/paper (which you need to do):





Talking about chemicals that drive ourselves in this world in this video, the one that really stands out is oxytocin: the feelings of safety, trust, and love. We get throse through physical contact (hugging, shaking of hands) or acts of generosity

...money does not work as true Generosity...

It's our Time and Energy that matter: the one form of currency that once we spend it, we can't get a refund.

I do not have the Title of Fitness/Life Coach for the enjoyment of "Position". That's crap.

I Choose to be a Fitness/Life Coach because I want to give my time and energy to those that want to change their lives through working out and eating right. I Choose to help others achieve what they think is unachievable.

Believe me, if you let yourself be vulnerable with me, we can achieve great things. All you need to do is start taking steps rather than always "planning" steps to get where you want to go.

Planning is nice; action is desperately needed to turn Dreams into Deadlines.

Posers

People who have titles but don't take the time to develop their skill sets within their profession, are Posers.

Leaders must have that never-ending drive to improve themselves and others otherwise their successes will only be re-played in their imaginations of past achievements.

Leaders can plan for the future, but if they don't live in the Now moment and go at a speed that is inspiring, tiring and motivational to others, they run the danger of driving their persona into the town of Poser-ville.

"A Leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way."
-John C. Maxwell

If the Shoe Fits...

Too many coaches/leaders out there are telling great advice to follow, good tips to use, great techniques to use time management skills, etc.

...my question to those leaders: are you following the same advice?

Be your own Follow-the-Leader; that way as you are showing others how to grow, you are growing yourself.
