Welcome to March. Spring is almost here!!!
This is our first blog of a new month and I’m reminding you to set your intentions of how you want March to play out for you. We can’t control division, politics and the economy, but we can control ourselves.
In challenging times, leaders must go inward first and lead themselves so they can show up calmly and strategically to lead their people.
Authenticity is an invaluable leadership skill and integrity is one of my core values so I’m returning to my zone of genius with greater intention and attention on the More Than Social Work with Nicki Sanders YouTube channel.
VIDEO: First, Lead Yourself in Challenging Times
Leadership Is An Inside Job! Focus On You:
1. Honor your capacity
2. Pay attention to patterns
3. Follow the currency
4. Think deeper
Stay tuned for new leadership development videos…
My Leadership Philosophy:
1. Leadership is a privilege
2. Leadership is about impact and influence, not a title
3. Leadership is earned, not demanded
4. Leadership is about transformation, not transactions
5. Great leaders create more great leaders
If you are looking to hire a speaker for Women’s History Month or Social Work Month I’d love to share my leadership journey with your staff, agency, community, or university. Let’s Chat.
