Cultivating Success: Prioritizing You, Growing Your Career, Leading with Clarity(YGT??50)

Hello and happy Sunday,

Welcome to another YOU GOT THIS! Newsletter.

The most beautiful thing about this time of year is nature in bloom. I am fascinated by the strength and richness with which plants develop and shine in absolute beauty every year.

As much as I am fascinated by nature, I am just as passionate about women's ability to utilize their full potential to develop themselves and their careers in the best possible way and with all their strength.

In today’s edition of my newsletter, I′ll write about these three topics:

?? My latest learning: Who is your Prio 1?

?? Career Inspiration: Focus on your path and your growth

?? Female Leadership: Role clarity

Have a wonderful week.

Best Regards, Katharina

?? My latest learning: Who is your Prio 1?

Who is your Prio 1? What are your priorities in life? I don't mean in theory but in practice.

If asked, you would probably say: My partner or family are the most essential things in my life. Closely followed by health. But what does it look like in practice?

Our partner is as much a part of our lives as a piece of furniture. We usually don't even notice them; if we do, it's because they′re doing something wrong (we've experienced this ourselves!).

We do look after the children, but to be honest, our minds are often entirely elsewhere. We're thinking about a meeting that's coming up or an overdue project.

We don't hesitate to take care of our oh-so-important health when something needs to be done and we're sacrificing our free time or sleep for it. Even if we are stressed and frustrated, this has an impact on our health (hello, pimples and the like!).

Where are YOU on your list of priorities?

Let me guess. In practice, your priorities look like this:

Job

Household

Kids

....

Partner

…

.....

me

At least, that's how it was for me for years. I didn't want it that way, but when I analyzed my everyday life, it was like that. Why don't we prioritize ourselves? Why do we find it more important to take care of everything and put our needs on the back burner?

This is what happens when we prioritize ourselves:

We recharge our batteries.

We become happier, calmer and more relaxed.

We react objectively and constructively.

We are more patient with children or employees.

We appear competent and confident.

We are able to really respond to others and give them our undivided attention (partner, employees, children, business partners, etc.).

We no longer act out of scarcity but out of abundance. And we have so much more to give.

I took this step for myself a few years ago, and now I accompany women who are experiencing exactly this change. Fulfillment and success are only possible if we prioritize ourselves, and everyone has more of it. Is it time for you to prioritize yourself, too?

Then let's talk ???? here is the link to a Discovery Call.

?? Career Inspiration: Focus on your path and your growth

It's time we discuss the often-overlooked challenge of comparing ourselves to others. Yes, it's human nature to look around and measure our progress against our peers. However, this habit can be more detrimental than beneficial.

Why? Because the essence of our journeys, the richness of our experiences, and the lessons we learn along the way are uniquely ours. Attempting to mirror someone else's work ethic or achievements without understanding the battles they've fought, the challenges they've overcome, and the unique circumstances that have shaped their path can lead us astray from our growth trajectory.

Here are three critical points to ponder:

1. You don't know their journey.?

2. You don't know their past experiences.?

3. You don't understand the struggles they may have faced.?

The key takeaway? Focus on your path and your growth.

Celebrate your milestones, learn from your setbacks, and cherish your unique journey. There's unparalleled power in embracing your story and leveraging it to fuel your aspirations.

?? Female Leadership: Role clarity

As a manager, you often find yourself in the infamous sandwich position - caught between the expectations of your superiors or customers and the needs of your employees.

The pressure is real and can be massive, which can negatively impact our performance and health.

But there is a way out of this dilemma: role clarity.

We can find a clear path through the chaos by clearly defining and understanding our roles, including their requirements and boundaries. It's important to realize that it's not about pleasing everyone but about finding the balance and prioritizing.

So, I keep my fingers crossed for your implementation.

If you need help realizing this concept, I will gladly help. Book a discovery call ???? here , and together, we'll find ways for you to face the sandwich pressure with ease.

??Change starts with you

Nothing will change unless you change something! It's up to you!

The alternative: Keep doing what you're doing...

I wish you a great week; enjoy life, and remember to SHOW UP!

If you say what you want, you increase the chance of being heard! ??

Have a great day, and remember, it is the one who gives up and does not reach success.

And now I wish you all the best and talk soon!

Best Regards, Katharina
