A digital vision is no longer isolated to the Marketing or IT departments, it is integral to how business is done—across all departments and within all industries. So, if you haven’t already, it’s time to embrace artificial intelligence (AI) in your business functions. AI can be a strategic partner in your work, a puzzle piece in your systems and strategies. But before a leader can cast a compelling digital vision, they must first lead themselves well so that they can develop an inspiring and successful digital vision that people want to work toward. In this article, we share three ways for a leader to develop a digital vision so that they can grow with rapidly changing technology and lead themselves, their teams, and their organizations in this digital age.

We’ve talked before about the four areas of well-being: physical, mental, social, and spiritual. But spiritual well-being can often be overlooked or misunderstood. So, we want to share our perspective on it and why we believe it’s core to an overall healthy well-being—which is key to self-leadership.

In this article, we define spiritual well-being and offer three ways for you to work toward getting your spiritual well-being to a healthy and impactful state.

It’s the first week of the new year—and that means that just days ago many people made inspiring yet challenging New Year’s resolutions. But sadly, statistics reveal that only 9% of adults keep their resolutions throughout the year and 80% of people forget their New Year’s resolutions by the middle of winter. Of course, there’s probably multiple factors hindering the success of a resolution, but the biggest hindrance is usually the lack of planning.

That’s why we created our Focus Plan. We’ve got a proven and easy-to-use tool to help you identify your goals along with the actions needed to actually achieve them—plus we give it away for free. In this article, we discuss how our well-being impacts our ability to focus and what you can do about it.

In the next few weeks, the holiday bustle will pass and a new year will begin. New Year’s resolutions will spur on the joining of gyms, the crafting of nutrition plans, and the forming of budgets. But before anyone can really identify the steps they want to take or the changes they want to make in the new year, there must be time spent on reflection. Not only does self-reflection help you acknowledge the progress you’ve made, but it also helps you recognize the areas for growth that you’d like to work toward. In this article, we discuss the importance of reflection and how it can catapult you toward the life you’ve always wanted.

When you feel appreciated, valued, and recognized, how are your actions impacted? Do you get energy from sincere and well-deserved acknowledgement? How is your productivity, creativity, and overall well-being affected?

Well, just as dismissive comments can negatively impact our outlook and output, validating comments can uplift both—and that’s the power of gratitude. Research reveals that 93% of people say that grateful bosses are more likely to succeed and that a “thank you” from a boss can boost productivity by more than 50%. So not only does appreciation from a leader enhance success rates, but it increases employee productivity too. And that’s because employee recognition can affect well-being, and in turn, a workplace culture.

In this article, we share three reasons why conveying gratitude is key for a successful leader.

People who have made their careers in an area that AI is creeping into are feeling some very real fear. So instead of succumbing to fear or defeat, we believe that you can embrace advancing technology while also owning the unique value you bring to the workplace.

In this article, we share coaching tips for you to combat FOBO and become an expert in the very technology that’s disrupting your industry.

Have you ever worked in an organization where you didn’t feel respected or free to be yourself? It makes it hard to be productive or engaged in your work, right? Well, more than likely, you experienced that company’s negative culture because there wasn’t a conviction-driven purpose, vision, or mission statement. And that’s the key: conviction.

In this article, we’re highlighting some statistics as to why an organization’s culture should be important to a leader and also how you can create a conviction-based vision for your organization that propels the company forward while creating a dynamic, healthy, and psychologically safe workplace environment.

The holiday season is here. And many of us get to take time off from work. But how many of us are carving out time to actually rest? It can be so easy to let our calendars fill up with good and life-giving events, surrounded by family and friends—but it’s so important to find time to recharge as well. Some people are truly filled back up when they spend time with loved ones; and some are filled back up when they have time alone. Only you can determine what you need to experience true rest.

In this article, we cover the importance of rest and why it’s essential for healthy self-leadership both at work and at home. We have three recommendations for you to consider as you find time away from the office this holiday season.
