One of the greatest challenges for leaders is discerning who should get their time. We want to help everyone, but, at some point, we all realize we cannot and should not say yes to every request.   If we are not laser focused on our discernment of time requests we find ourselves trying to chase some of those people down. Many times they have no desire to change or grow, but they want something from us, so we invest in them anyway. It’s crucial for us to remember that only the hungry change. It cannot be forced.    Why do we do chase people down even when they aren’t hungry to change?    Level your leadership in 2022 Right Side Up Collective Purchase a Right Side Up Journal Schedule your FREE breakthrough coaching session

If you find yourself overwhelmed it turns out you’re normal, but you can’t stay there. Our culture seems to be stumbling drunk from a strange concoction of insecurity, overwork and boredom. If we don’t learn how to resist this we’ll fall in either the ditch of overwhelm or underwhelm. Without knowing it I think we’re all asking a core but silent question deep in our hearts, “How do I get whelmed?”  Level your leadership in 2022 Right Side Up Collective Right Side Up Community Purchase a Right Side Up Journal Schedule your FREE breakthrough coaching session Invest in your leadership by joining free Right Side Up Community

Scripture is clear that who we are matters more than what we do (but, of course, what we do should begin to align with who we are). Ephesians says we are God’s workmanship (think poem, song, painting) before we have work to do. Jesus describes a healthy tree that bears healthy fruit because it has healthy roots. Our identity as daughters and sons is more important than our impact as leaders.  Level your leadership in 2022 Right Side Up Collective Right Side Up Community Purchase a Right Side Up Journal Schedule your FREE breakthrough coaching session Invest in your leadership by joining free Right Side Up Community
