Coach Yourself
You are not failing enough
Did you fail enough in the first half of the year?

If you're not experiencing failure, you're playing it too safe and missing out on valuable opportunities. Embrace failure as a sign that you're pushing boundaries and innovating. 

Encourage your team to take calculated risks, experiment, and learn from their mistakes. Each failure is a steppingstone to success, providing essential feedback and fostering resilience. 

By reframing failure as a necessary component of progress, you cultivate a culture of continuous improvement and creativity. So, aim to fail more—it's the fastest route to significant achievements and transformative leadership.

Act as if you already have the role
Don't get pushed back for promotion because "you are not already performing at that level"

This strategy accelerates your growth by pushing you to embody the goals, responsibilities and mindset of the position you aspire to. Start leading initiatives, making decisions, and mentoring others as if the title is yours. 

This proactive approach showcases your readiness and capability to those who matter. It also shifts your self-perception, boosting confidence and competence. 

By living the role now, you not only demonstrate your qualifications but also make the transition seamless when the promotion comes. Lead today as the leader you'll be tomorrow.

Work Out Loud
Mitigate your biases by tapping the wisdom of the crowd. 

Facilitating the collective insights of the group to a well-informed decision is a more valuable talent than developing your own zinger and selling it to the group. 

By actively seeking input from a broad group, you harness collective intelligence, which often surpasses individual judgment. 

Encourage open dialogue, diverse viewpoints, and collaborative problem-solving within your team. This strategy not only reduces the likelihood of falling into logical traps like confirmation bias or overconfidence but also fosters more robust, resilient, well-rounded decisions.
 
 
Until next time!
