Did you know that your goals are far, far ahead of you?

Really.

Women and men have been aiming at achieving more or less the same things in their lives since thousands and thousands of years.

You are the one who is new to the game. The game itself is old. Very old.

You could think that you are setting new goals and identifying an ever-growing stream of new and improved needs, wants and must haves; all the while working toward a better life and state of being for you and your loved ones.

Don’t be fooled. Your goals are way ahead of you. They have seen you coming from miles away. Seen you peak your head around the corner eyeballing that new you, including that new purse, dress, car, house, husband, wife, promotion, status, reputation, retirement, etc. from miles and miles away.

You are not coming up with your goals, your goals are coming up with you; reinventing you, shaping you into the man or woman you will become. Unconsciously, if you are not careful.

Don’t exhaust yourself running after that future state of perfect peace and happiness that can only be found in the intense sanity of being truly, fully here and now.

You may be looking out of your office window in Midtown Manhattan right now or driving down the 101 into Los Angeles in mid-morning, bumper to bumper traffic, you may be ex-padding it on the Mexican peninsula or teaching those stern Europeans how to market to the 50+.

Whichever it is, don’t loose sight of what makes you unique. It is not your goals, it’s your capacity to be present in spite of them.

People often ask you what you do!
When you answer that question, do you describe your products and services? Or do you communicate the benefits your clients receive?

For example, at Empowerment Holdings we could say:

We offer business coaching, consulting and executive services for “dead” professionals!

Sounds good, but you’re probably going: What does that have to do with me, my problems, my wants and needs?

And you’re right.

If instead we’d say:

“We’re able to help you overcome your fears. Period. We alleviate your professional frustrations, dissatisfaction and inability to move beyond your current, uncomfortable situation. We wake you up from the “dead”. WE WAKE YOU UP. We help you achieve breakthroughs in personal leadership and professional development.”

You’d listen because you’d know what you could get out of your relationship with us.

A leader that possesses the ability to walk in their client’s shoes for a while, who can get a sense of what life is really like for someone they’d like to do business with, will eventually become an ally and trusted friend. And people love to do business with friends, we do too.

Be a good leader and become a real friend. Take some time today and think about what people really want and need from you. Your family, your friends, your employees, your co-workers, your community, your world – what do they really want and need from you?

Wake up. Just for a minute, let go of your self absorbed worries and problems and think about what the people you are serving or wish to serve are really like. What are they facing on a day-to-day basis and how would they like to feel facing it. Figure out a way to make them feel better and deal better with their challenges and you’ll make friends for life – you’ll deserve whatever success comes to you!

Don’t continue to stand in your own way. Call us today at (805) 680-3988 for your complimentary client consultation.

Why charismatic leadership is dangerous…

Have you ever come across someone who was so charismatic that you weren’t even really interested in what they wanted from you or what they had to say, you just wanted to help or work with them somehow?

Of course you have, we all have.

Maybe you are that person in the lives of your people.

Danger lies in the fact that you may forget to analyze the message because of the messenger. Charismatic leadership is dangerous but very seductive.

Remember the four ways of the wise when you lead your people:

1.Depend on the teaching and not on the teacher
2.Depend on the meaning and on not the words
3.Depend on the depth and not on the surface
4.Depend on wisdom and not on concepts

As a leader it is your job not just to lead your people but to train them in intelligent ways to follow.

We can help!

The secret characteristic of leadership that many leaders do not acknowledge is that nothing stands as strong as the naked truth.

Your charisma, education and skill may tempt you to bend, twist or even manipulate the truth in your favor.

When tempted to do so, know that the leader who stands on or with the truth always stands stronger. Not because she or he has more charisma, a better education or leadership skills, but because the truth has a power that cannot be conquered.

Just ask Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln or Nelson Mandela.

Time has seen hordes of competitors, rivals and foes wrecked against the rocks of truth.

As an intelligent leader, always try to find and filter out the truth first. Then stand as close by it as you can and let it make your case.

Watch what happens.
