E Factor Leadership

What is your intention today❓

My intention for today is to stay grounded and present in all that I do.

Focusing my attention on what is in front of me and staying connected to it will help me to stay present.

Two weeks ago, I lost my brother Keith. His passing has left me with a myriad of emotions and reactions from sad, to confused, to wanting to make my life mean something, to unfocused, to really missing him and his quirky sense of humor....

As I walk through this journey with grief and all of the phases of it, I know I need to stay grounded and present to all that is going on around me.

What is your daily intention❓

Today I choose to joyfully connect with everyone I come into contact with 😀

Starting off your day with an intention will help you to focus your attention on what you want to create more of in your life 🦄❤️

For me today it's joy and connection ☀️😀

Leaders are constantly learning.

And nothing quite beats the wisdom packed within the pages of a good book. Here are the top five books that have shaped my leadership journey and can elevate your game too:

1. "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek - This book stresses the importance of knowing your purpose as a leader, and how it can inspire your team.

2. "The Lean Startup" by Eric Ries - Ries teaches leaders how to adapt and adjust before it’s too late, a crucial skill in today's fast-paced world.

3. "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick Lencioni - A guide to building a cohesive and effective team.

4. "Dare to Lead" by Brené Brown - Brown emphasizes the role of courage and vulnerability in leadership.

5. "Good to Great" by Jim Collins - Collins shares what differentiates great companies from good ones, and how leaders can make the leap.

Each of these books offers unique insights, valuable lessons, and practical advice that can transform your leadership style.

Now, it's your turn.
