Leadership is defined simply as influence (John C Maxwell). If you want other people to look to you as an authority and listen to your message, you have to step up and be a leader for other people.

This week I’m sharing with you my interview on the Intentional Optimists Podcast where I share my experience leading teams for the last decade to help you show up as a leader for your audience. 

Shareworthy Insights:

• You have to first be able to lead and manage yourself before you can lead other people.
• Energy comes from within. You create and generate your own energy.
• Double-check your objective and make sure it's a service-oriented one, not a revenue-generated one. 
• Trust yourself and follow your gut even when you're gonna make somebody else uncomfortable. You have to step up and be that brave person.
• Be more intentional with the words that we use and how we communicate with other people.
• A leader has to be willing to be unliked.
• Set your intentions of how you want to feel and how you want other people to feel.
