Creating a framework for impact leadership, entrepreneurship mindset

Creating a framework for impact leadership, entrepreneurship mindset.

WLOUNGE is setting a vision for a new standard of leadership: DARE LEADERSHIP with our LEADERSHIP Goals,

Like SDG for sustainability goals, we’ve developed 12 LEADERSHIP GOALS.?

This is where PERSONAL development is the key to PROFESSIONAL-BUSSINESS growth, We set the skills, YOU bring your need,

We open our WLOUNGE network for you.

Mali M Baum:"You won't learn entrepreneurship or leadership from teachers/ theory BUT from experienced founders, this is why we've built the Leadership Program, Leadership Goals Languange and future to become an accessible digital tool!"?

Leadership in the context of Agile, Vision was the focus of this session.

Arne Friedrich, Former professional soccer player and Founder of the ARNE FRIEDRICH foundation gave his overview on leadership and how you survive this ( mental health )

Some highlights from this super inspiring, teaching and skills delivery session:

“Real leadership is being the person others will gladly and confidently follow”, quotes John Maxwell.

• Leadership is not a position, it is a responsibility
• Leadership is not about you but the team and the people you lead
• Leadership is influence

Arne Friedrich: "I believe in the “people-first” approach."

If people follow you because they trust you and your intentions, you will have a bigger impact and better relationships.

About worth and value? We are all exposed to a lot of pressure, fear of failure, comparison (especially through social media), the expectations from others but also our own.?

The question is, are we defined by our accomplishments or our relationships?

Performance-Based Identity vs Purpose Based Identity

Type A: Performance-Based Identity: (My worth and value are only defined by results)

This can lead to extreme stress, fear of failure, excuses to avoid work/competition, and lack of enjoyment. It can also lead to sleep disruption, headache, back pain, etc.

Type B: Purpose-Based Identity:

(My worth and value are not only defined by results but by our relationships)

We can be the same ambitious in our jobs but we do not get our worth and value from results only. We set our own personal goals and participate in activities that are meaningful! We build relationships.

What am I here for?

Arne Friedrich:” In my career, I developed a Performance-based identity. I cared about what people might think of me. I was so focused on not making mistakes that I forgot to enjoy the game. This on the contrary prevented me from releasing my full potential. I also felt a void and asked myself, is this all? In 2008 my perspective changed for the better. I found something valuable and meaningful. Through the help of my friend and mentor Dr. Ashley Null I discovered the purpose of helping people in need. To see sick children in hospitals changed my perspective. I tried to make an impact in the life of others. The result was that I didn’t define myself only through the performance on the field but through the contribution I would make. I even regained my joy for the game”

“In 2015 we established the Arne Friedrich foundation, with the goal to support and to empower people in need. The work with my foundation gives me the deepest joy and has helped me look beyond my own interests.”

Learnings / Takeaways:?

• Working hard and being ambitious is good but do not let yourself be defined by results only. You are more than that.
• Nobody is perfect, we all have our shortcomings.?
• Reflect on a regular basis and change your perspective.
• Find something valuable beyond your own interests.
• Practice gratitude (start every day by writing down 5 things you are grateful for).
• Develop “healthy relationships”. Relationships are the most precious. They can turn you into the best version of yourself.

Mali M Baum: "We know that by raising more role models, providing our knowledge and skills, as founders, investors, leaders, we make a SOCIAL impact which drives us to ECONIMOCAL impact, with the leadership goals we see how we are already making a change at the Local and global level, our ecosystem needs that, Germany and Europe need that”
