Deep dives
Order Your Life
To be a fully present leader, it is important to order your life. Take responsibility for what you can control, eliminate chaos, and prioritize intentional living. An ordered life reduces stress and allows you to be more present.
Adopt a Best Days Are Now Mindset
Instead of always looking to the future, embrace a mindset that recognizes the best days are happening now. Invest in your team, express gratitude for the present, and fully engage in the moments that matter.
Focus on the One Thing, Don't Multitask
As a leader, give your undivided attention to the person in front of you. Avoid multitasking and distractions. Put your phone away, listen actively, and show that you value the importance of the present moment.
On this episode, 5 Step to Becoming a Fully Present Leader, Benjamin teaches you how to maximize your moments for greater impact and how you can focus your attention better on the person in front of you, your team, your family, and the relationships that matter most. Most people underestimate how important it is to be fully present. Mastering this skill will change your life as a leader and the lives of those around you. No more blank stares, constant distractions, multitasking, or day dreaming, this is your time to step into the moments that matter, many of which you can’t get back once they’re gone. This isn't about fleeting attention—it's about the lasting power of truly being there for every moment. Being fully present, that’s what you need to do and what this episode is all about.
Episode Quote:
"You are missing moments with the people who matter most and you are missing opportunities because you are distracted and unable to shut out the noise and focus. Buying gifts for your family or your team, booking vacations, are not a replacement for your presence. Your presence is your present."
