You are a grower so I remind you to embrace the 'growth mindset'. Our brains can grow. Guaranteed we will make mistakes but choosing the 'growth mindset' enables us to learn and improve versus a fixed approach bypassing growth and hunkering down in fear and judgement.

We can do the hard work to develop ourselves, recognising that "what got us here, won't get us there" and this is very much the case when transitioning to a managing people. Most of us have default ways of thinking and working which are either an accelerator for us or more of a hand-break. Often they are well entrenched 'coping strategies' that don't serve us any more. When we are triggered by stress, change, uncertainty it can tip us back into those coping behaviours that we have worked so hard to change.

I questioned if there was space amongst the clutter!
This week we discuss 'Decluttering To Grow' with Susie White professional organiser. She helps us feel less overwhelmed, defensive and protective and more in control of our stuff rather than the other way around! Susie shares many practical tips and suggestions.
'Go To Grow' = where you go with your time, money, energy, focus; YOU GROW. We determine what we get. Decluttering and organising strikes a growth chord for me.

Do you need urgency and fear to propel you to react? Are you known as a reliable 'get it done' person when directed to take action? Do you get kudos and adrenaline from putting out fires? What happens in the absence of pressure and external motivators? Sustainable leadership (personally and professionally) comes from the fire within not from the 'burning platform'. Seek out the control and ease that comes with sustainability. Put that fire on your ass out!

Why?
It is the right and necessary thing to do in business and life
Diversity + Inclusion = bigger results (ethnic diversity most important)

To deliver great results in business, we need to be clear on the strategy and focus so we can say an informed "hell-yeah". That yes is nothing without the 'no' that accompanies it.

Go To Grow - with Melissa MacGowan1: Mental Stamina to Grow (with bonus brain training exercise) - with Sharon LongridgeStamina is the ability to sustain prolonged physical or mental effort. We focus on physical stamina and increasingly realise that mental stamina is just as important to high performance and is the difference between surviving and really thriving (performance, creativity and certainly connections). As leaders and parents, it has become a much needed daily practice and without it we can make poor decisions, get stuck in the red zone, yell at the kids, beat ourselves up, loose perspective and feel so drained. The opposite of what many of us want.
