What is the Key to Success!

What has been your experience with the Corona virus or COVID-19 that has put a standstill in the lives of almost everyone across the globe? Who have you been listening to and learning from during this time of crisis?

As my mentor and friend John C. Maxwell reminded us during his virtual summit held in March 2020 - Crisis is defined as "An Intense Time of Difficulty... Requiring A Decision... that will be A Turning Point". It's an intense time of difficulty - that's what the Dictionary says; requiring a decision - that's what the Greek says; that will be a turning point - that's what the Medical folks say!

Have you been taking some time to admire some of the Corolla or Petals(of flowers) that has been showing up all around us, especially here in US? It reminded me to look at this situation that we are all in and see how I could give Hope to others by using the acronym COT which stands for

• Connecting with others across the globe,
• Offering my coaching & teaching services using the Maxwell resources virtually and
• Talking to individuals who are directly impacted during this crisis due to loss of a loved one, loss of a job or any kind of loss...

...challenging each of them to Stay Motivated & turning their Adversity into an Advantage.

Let me challenge you to get rid of any negative emotions that are not benefitting you or your loved ones. Be the leader you are called to be at a time like this - it is very important to stay focused on the things are "important" to you (for me it is my family and those around me who are ready to become a better version of themselves) that will keep you moving in the right direction.

The key to success is how people THINK... Remain teachable during this time of crisis and evaluate the experience you are going through at this time - continue to read good books, listen to great talks that will nurture your mind and teach you how to think like Successful people, how to live an Intentional life, how to embrace changes and make a Shift in your leadership, how to be flexible & create an environment around us where we can Learn & Grow - and take others on the incredible journey with YOU!

As it is said in one of my favorite books "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:4

John C. Maxwell, my mentor and friend reminds us to be Authentic in our Leadership. In other words, he says (1) Always tell the truth (2) Put your people first (3) Keep your head above the crowd. At the end of the day, are you able to look back with a SMILE and say "I was born for such a time as this" and "This is my moment to Help others, Add value to others, Challenge others to Lead on".

I would like us to learn & grow together in this time of crisis so we can turn Adversity into an Advantage... let's transform our lives by changing the Corona (negative that is attacking us) into a Corolla (positive that will enlighten our paths) which will bring a SMILE on our faces and will give Hope to others around us!

Personally, I have been motivated to work along side leaders (mainly women) and show them the result of "Shared Thinking" - I have accomplished more than I ever could have on my own by being part of these Mastermind Groups that I have facilitated based on the teachings by great leaders like John C. Maxwell. I would love for you to join one of my upcoming Mastermind Groups and experience the benefit of SHARED THINKING. Don't wait too long for the right time, it is YOUR TIME NOW to TAKE ACTION!
