Over the years, I’ve worked with people at all levels of their organisations, including all kinds of leaders. You do not have to be a leader in the typical sense to gain from the strategies laid out in Lift Your Impact, but I realised that, by implementing these techniques, you’re cultivating a leadership mentality.?

So I thought—what about the people who want to be leaders but aren’t quite there yet??

How can you use Lift to unlock your leadership potential?

Understand the big picture

Leaders must be prepared for anything that comes their way. If you’ve been following me, you’ll know that I’m a huge advocate for visualisation. This requires taking an honest look at where you are now, what challenges you’re facing, and what challenges you may face in the future.?

Leaders must understand where they want to go next, separating the big picture from day-to-day tasks and continuously checking in with how they are going to achieve their goals.

Prioritise core values

If understanding the big picture is the how, prioritising core values is the why. Define your core values for yourself, then check in with them every day. With every task, no matter how menial it may seem, leaders must understand how it ties in with their core values. Otherwise, what’s the point?

As people, we need to understand our purpose in order to lead a satisfying and fulfilling life. Through defining our core values, we choose to cultivate meaning for ourselves.

Develop emotional intelligence and empathy?

One of the key themes of Lift Your Impact is the importance of storytelling in communication. Storytelling is one of the oldest and most reliable ways to build empathy. When we learn about each other and put ourselves in each other’s shoes, we can’t help but feel more strongly about each other.?

People thrive on connection. As leaders, we must not only tell our stories, but we must also learn to tell our stories in the most impactful way possible. And conversely, we must foster an environment where others feel comfortable sharing their stories, too, so we can actively listen and learn from them.?

Inspire others to succeed

And, of course, we must Lift ourselves and those around us. Be compassionate toward yourself.? It will help you be more compassionate toward others. Encourage those around you. People respond much better to positive feedback. When you believe in them, they will start to believe in themselves, and there’s no limit to what we can accomplish when we’re inspired and supported.?

These are just a few of the ways Lift can support leaders.

Body Talk offers classes, blogs, and webinars on a wide range of leadership skills like advanced communication, business storytelling, objection handling & difficult conversations, and so much more. And we just got a new website revamp! Check it out here.
