Beneath your genius, you’re still human... You still feel the ups and downs of life. You can still have a heavy heart. You’ll still hit dead ends. You can still feel insecure. And I know that the more brilliant you are, the more lonely it can feel. You don’t need someone to fix you. You need someone who gets you. No one does it all alone. You deserve to be your best AND feel your best. Let’s get you there.

In order to be a good leader, it’s helpful to understand your own leadership style, beliefs & motivations. It’s important to understand how you project outwards, & to understand how others see you. There are 3 aspects of ‘Self’ to consider

As a Leader, The First I Need To Lead Is Me. 

-Internal self awareness: having an understanding of your own beliefs, thoughts, actions & impact on others -External self awareness: understanding how others view you Being self aware, & aware of how others see you, allows you to better understand others, & to show empathy with those you work with.

Self Awareness 

This is the ability to understand & manage your behaviour & reactions to what is going on around you, & to your feelings. It enables you to regulate strong emotions.It can be useful in the workplace, to ensure you are measured in your reactions & to consider their impact.

Self Regulation

This is the activity of thinking about your feelings or behaviours, & the reasons behind them. It's important to understand the root cause of why you feel the way you do.

Self Reflection 

By considering these 3 elements of Self, you can influence the type of leader you are, your impact on others, on their motivation & morale. How you behave & how you come across, impact how psychologically safe the environment feels for your people to speak up, be themselves, & perform at work.

Self 

Great leadership isn't a mystery, but a skill that can be learned. Throughout your life, you've always recognized "it" when you saw it--that indescribable, appealing quality that tells you loud and clear this person is a leader, someone you should trust, follow, and learn from. And you've always told yourself, if only you had that "it factor" inside you that could inspire, motivate, and lead others in the same way. Well, you do . . . and you can! Nobody--not even the greatest you have ever seen--comes into the world a natural leader. But somewhere along the way, these people who entered the world in the same you did transformed into the kind of magnetic individuals who inspire others to follow their lead. Success expert Brian Tracy has spent years studying the world's greatest leaders and believes that everyone has it inside them to: <ul> <li>Inspire trust, confidence, and loyalty</li> <li>Instill a sense of meaning and purpose in your organization</li> <li>Tap into the motivation and enthusiasm that compels others to commit to your vision</li> <li>Clearly communicate goals and strategies and gain buy-in</li> <li>Build winning teams</li> <li>Elicit extraordinary performance from ordinary people</li> <li>Become the person seen as most likely to lead the organization to victory</li> <li>And more Don't fall for the lie that says some are born leaders and the rest of us are simply their followers.

As a progressive and evolving being, man is where he is that he may learn that he may learn that he may grow; And as he learns the spiritual lesson which any circumstance contains for him, it passes away and gives place to other circumstances

By James Allen 

As a Man Thinketh is a literary essay and book by James Allen, published in 1903. It was described by Allen as "... [dealing] with the power of thought, and particularly with the use and application of thought to happy and beautiful issues. I have tried to make the book simple, so that all can easily grasp and follow its teaching, and put into practice the methods which it advises. It shows how, in his own thought---world, each man holds the key to every condition, good or bad, that enters into his life, and that, by working patiently and intelligently upon his thoughts, he may remake his life, and transform his circumstances. The price of the book is only one shilling, and it can be carried in the pocket." It was also described by Allen as "A book that will help you to help yourself", "A pocket companion for thoughtful people", and "A book on the power and right application of thought."

THIS little self-help volume (the result of meditation and experience) is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much-written-upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that-- "They themselves are makers of themselves." By virtue of the thoughts, which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.

James Allen is an accomplished writer whose work has resonated with readers around the world. James Allen has published several books that explore a range of topics, from fiction to nonfiction, and has received critical acclaim for the ability to weave compelling narratives. James Allen's writing style is known for its depth and authenticity, and has earned quite a loyal following of readers.

A man's gotta have a code, a creed to live by, no matter his job ~ John Wayne

The Greatest Stoic Argued That Kindness Is More Manly Than Anger Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Just be one! — Meditations, 10.16 For Marcus, the ability to show kindness and compassion toward others, rather than wallowing in anger, was one of the most important signs of true inner strength and manhood.

Marcus Aurelius 

when you do become angry, be ready to apply this thought, that to fly into a passion is not a sign of manliness, but rather, to be kind and gentle. For as these qualities are more human, they are also more manly. It is the man who possesses such virtues who has strength, nerve, and fortitude, and not one who is ill-humoured and discontented. Indeed, the nearer a man comes in his mind to freedom from unhealthy passions , the nearer he comes to strength. Just as grief is a mark of weakness, so is anger too, for those who yield to either have been wounded and have surrendered to the enemy

From The Meditations 

“Upright, not righted (by others)” (Meditations, 7.12). To him this means being able to perform his duties, and even face death, in good cheer, without being dependent upon support from others. He sums it up in the maxim: “you must stand upright, not be held upright.” Marcus repeated this striking expression of self-reliance three or four times in Meditations.

To be more manly, you must first be more human

An ancient Greek philosopher named Epicurusbelieved that we do not need all these extravagant pleasures to be happy.Expensive luxurious vacations to distant places, accumulating an excessive amount of money and possessions, or acquiring power through politics will not lead us to satisfaction in the long run.

Minimalist Style Of a stoic

We could say that the wealthiest person isn't the one who has the most but the one most satisfied with what he has

We could say that the wealthiest person isn't the one who has the most but the one most satisfied with what he has.And that being full of desires to be fulfilled is poor, but being content is rich.If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desiresEpicurus once said.

Minimalist Style Of a Stoic

The cheaper our pleasures of choice, the lesst ime and effort we need to attain them, and more we enjoy not wishing for anything else.If that isnt the ultimate form of minimalism,then what is?

Mini

Stoicism helped me to understand my desires! Desires are the root cause of misery, yet having no desire may drive you to become a monk. It is that middle path, minimalism. Minimize your desire to maximize your experience of life. 

'It is philosophy that has the duty of protecting us ... without it no one can lead a life free of fear or worry' For several years of his turbulent life, in which he was dogged by ill health, exile and danger, Seneca was the guiding hand of the Roman Empire. This selection of Seneca's letters shows him upholding the ideals of Stoicism - the wisdom of the self-possessed person immune to life's setbacks - while valuing friendship and courage, and criticizing the harsh treatment of slaves and the cruelties in the gladiatorial arena. The humanity and wit revealed in Seneca's interpretation of Stoicism is a moving and inspiring declaration of the dignity of the individual mind.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (often known simply as Seneca or Seneca the Younger); ca. 4 BC – 65 AD) was a Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, and dramatist of the Silver Age of Latin literature. He was tutor and later advisor to emperor Nero, who later forced him to commit suicide for alleged complicity in the Pisonian conspiracy to have him assassinated.
