The potential of your leadership is a reflection of the quality of your habits. The habits you have today will shape who you become tomorrow. So, if you want to be more effective in your leadership, get more strategic with your habits.

Exercises you can do to grow as a leader—ask yourself and your team these questions:

1. What is one habit you’ve tried to start in the past but failed? How could you change what you think of you to change that behavior?
2. Think of the people who care about you the most. If they could see you improve in one area of your life, what would it be? What could you do to become that person?
3. Where are you going to put your “I am” and “I do” statements? Make sure they’re somewhere you’ll see them every day.

John Maxwell said, “If you’re not failing, you’re probably not really moving forward.” Failing is part of life. It helps us grow. We should take the time to step back find the positive things we can learn through our failures. Join me as I discuss failures with MSgt Greg Reyes. Don’t let success get to your mind and failure to your heart

Have you ever said you're barely keeping your head above water or you're in the weeds? Life can always consume us with the day to day schedule and commitment. Jana Kingsford said "Balance is not something you find, it's something you create." We either tell life what to do or life will tell us what to do. We need to start being intentional to create that balance in our life and stop using the excuse that "life gets in the way". 

Join us as we discuss creating a work life balance with MSgt Jeremy Speck.
