Week 2: Managing Thoughts. Without confidence, there is no leader. Take time today to listen to your authentic thoughts. Are They a reflective of who are? Are they reflective of a true leader? If not, get clear about your true thoughts and how they impact your behavior.
How do you let negative thoughts go? “Train your mind” sounds like some sort of mental boot camp that
develops a tough psyche. On the contrary, a trained mind is alert and flexible. The trained mind
understands that a flash of anger when a prized employee moves to a competitor might be immediately
followed by a moment of sheer bliss from an industry award. The trained mind stays in the present
moment and reacts with calm confidence to the constantly changing flow of ups and downs.*
