Know When To Push And When To Let Go

Motherhood has taught me when to keep pushing and when to let go. So much of parenting is wrestling with the dichotomy of when to push your child and when to let go and let them drive the direction; thereby enabling the condition that they might fall or fail. My two boys are highly social, sporty and love school, but they also think they are wiser than they could possibly be at this point in their lives. They don’t know what they don’t know yet. My goal is to enable them to be independent, do what they love and make meaningful connections with other people. I feel it is my job to push them go for classes practice even when they don’t want to wake up at 6:00 am to get there. But it is also my job to let them pack their own backpack even if that means they might forget their homework some days. As they grow, striking that balance gets harder. I think it’s the same with the teams i closely work and love to see them  think independently and aggressively pursuing goals and helping each other achieve their goals as well. They should have enough rope to explore their own ideas and develop their own hypotheses. But it’s also important to step in and course correct. Striking that balance is what defines success.

A Personalized Approach Is Key

My children are two parts amazing, one part insane, and a whole lot of nothing alike. If I don’t adjust to their unique personalities and spend quality time with each of them, we have total chaos at home. I have made a thousand mistakes at home and I use those lessons to bring my best self to work. A personalized leadership approach requires a significant time investment with each individual. I have learned that the work I see in the end tells me very little about what I could have done to help along the way. The secret is observing the process it takes to get there and understanding that everyone has different strengths, passions and motivations. The interesting thing about putting the extra time in with your team is they appreciate you for the investment and in turn your relationship grows and leads to more open and honest conversations.

Embrace Unknown Territory

Motherhood has taught me not to fear the unknown but instead embrace the journey of learning on the go! Enjoy the fulfilling feeling of "figuring it out" and use that energy and motivation to tackle the next challenge! For me, being a mother and a professional at work at the same time was all unknown territory. But as I began to meet and exceed one milestone at a time, that momentum and empowerment continued to build. There have been so many amazing and fulfilling accomplishments, from seeing my baby take her first steps to seeing delivery at work.! I often reflect upon those moments as I tackle my next great challenge. The big takeaway for me is to use moments of accomplishment, big or small, as fuel to have the courage to go after it all - the sky's the limit!
