Sometimes you have to admit to yourself that it's over. A job, a business or a relationship. 180 degree turnarounds are rare. 🔄 #Happiness #Courage #GameChangers #KnowWhenToMoveOn #DaveLourdes #EvolvingHumanPotential #GroupCoaching #Conference #Events #Teams #Business (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQht7dwjpix/?utm_medium=tumblr

[[ CHOOSE YOUR TRIBE ]] 🔹️ Positive relationships are the biggest source of energy renewal. 🔋🔋 . So the equation is simple. ⚖ . Hang out with more people who fill you up. 💧 . Hang out with less people who drain you. 😒 . When you're with good people, time flies, you're learning, you're laughing and you don't want it to end.🫂 . Keeping relationships out of obligation, history or because it'll help your career or business is hard work. 🌵 . Choose your tribe. .

❓[ DO YOU HANG ON TOO LONG? ] ❓ 🔹️ Have you ever stuffed up? Of course you have, everyone has. You know what means when you make a mistake? Your human! Okay, so we've got that out of the way. 🔹️ Sometimes you sink a ton of effort, energy, heart, money, love and reputation into your mistakes. This causes a cognitive bias to kick in. Humans don't like to walk away from things we've heavily invested in. 🔹️ This is where the discipline of letting go comes in. If you're replaying a mistake over and over in your mind, beating yourself up and just hoping things will change, you're setting yourself up for regular instalments of mental pain. 🔹️ Don't be like the gambler having one more bet trying to recover the build up of losses. Just STOP. Walk away. Let it go. Put it down, it's too heavy to keep carrying. 🔹️ Can you do it? Yes. . ➡️ WILL you do it? That's the real question to answer. . 🔹️ If you're the type who's really good at NOT dwelling on the past and can walk away easily, I'd LOVE to hear how you do it. Tell me in the comments. 🙏 🙏 🔹️ P.S. this was a real struggle for me and some BIG incidents in recent years helped me become more Teflon, so that's why I'm keen to know how others handle this stuff. #Mistakes #LetItGo #WalkAway #DaveLourdes #AlignedLeadershipProgram #TheBreakthroughExperience #TheConnectedLeader #CoachingToEmpower #SpeakingToInfluence #KeepEvolving #EvolvingHumanPotential #Alignment #ConferenceSpeaker #Zoom https://www.instagram.com/p/CHDDWZ2DjBu/?igshid=h96vwyx4brzb

[[ P R E S S U R E ]] How do you cope with pressure? . Pressure doesn't change who we are. . Pressure REVEALS who we are. . If you're in the game of evolving (which all of us are), it requires a deep dive into your psyche to uncover the unresourceful patterns that are holding you back, both consciously and unconsciously. . Pressure is one of the first cabs off the rank to examine because we're swimming in it every day, and the COVID-19 cloud has just added to it. . Most of us make decisions under pressure that keep us safe, but don't necessarily move us forward. . Pressure brings up patterns of avoidance, safety seeking, jealousy, helplessness, inertia and bullshit justification, just to name a few. . Avoiding pressure makes it grow. . For example, I'll get fit after COVID-19, I'll start reconnecting with people in the new year, I'll wait and see what happens, I'm using this time to regroup, I just need to learn a bit more about it, etc. . I've got four specific steps (in sequence) that you can take, if pressure slows you down or makes you stall. The steps are in my private Facebook group The Leaders Lab with Dave Lourdes.

[[ HAVE YOU GOT A "PERSONAL BRAND?" ]] . YES! . OF COURSE YOU HAVE! . People have already branded you whether you know it or not, or whether you like it or not. . We're in a relationship and reputation economy. . Be conscious of doing things that build positive regard for the value you create and problems you are good at solving. . Be conscious of how you treat people, how you show gratitude, how you DEMONSTRATE care and the AUTHENTICITY of your ACTIONS. .

[[ THE 1%RULE. ]] ❓ What do you want to get better at? Work this out first. ☝ Pick ONE thing ONLY. Do you want to get better at: 👉 Public speaking? 👉 Giving feedback? 👉 Motivating your team? 👉 Starting a successful business? 👉 Having difficult conversations? 👉 Getting recognised within your team or organisation? 👉 Running fun and effective meetings? 👉 Being a master of small talk? 👉 Not getting tongue tied when you have to speak off the cuff? 👉 Break a habit that may be killing you, ruining your career or making you feel shit? 👉 Having a solid personal brand without being a vapid self promoter? 👉 Have a genuinely fulfilling relationship (not settling for mediocre) Pick one thing first. I'll be sharing the steps over the next couple of weeks in my private Facebook group The Leaders Lab with Dave Lourdes.

[HERE'S A CHALLENGE] 💪 I started this today and shared it with some AGL friends on a virtual professional development presentation this morning. 💪 Here's the mission. Starting today. 💪 66 days from today takes you to Christmas Eve. 💪 It's NOT about looking good (although it's a likely side effect). It's about building your mental toughness muscles. 🔹️ Let me know your progress. I have a Private Facebook group, The Leaders Lab, where I'll post more about this. 🔹️ Give it a go. I just finished Day one. Challenge yourself. Keep evolving, Dave P.S. sorry I didn't post this earlier today. #Brute66 #TheLeadersLab #AlignedLeaders #DaveLourdes #AlignedLeadershipProgram #TheBreakthroughExperience #TheConnectedLeader #CoachingToEmpower #SpeakingToInfluence https://www.instagram.com/p/CGhZubjDks5/?igshid=s1qylalh79is
