Cultivating Your Most Potent Leadership Potential.How much of your day do you spend thinking about the future? When you have your virtual employee meetings, do you often reference "this is how we've always done it"... There is no power in the future. There is no power in the past. Your only true power is right here right now in this moment. That's where energy resides. Shifting your attention to the present moment allows you harness your energy in the most effective and efficient way. How you experience your moments, is how you experience your life.A recent study stated our brain is processing approximately twelve million pieces of data a second. Our brain can actually consciously only process about fifty of those pieces of data in any given second. And even with those fifty pieces of data, how much do you believe you're truly able to embrace each of them and milk them for all they're worth? The point is that if you're intentionally living in the present moment, the pieces of data - the most meaningful aspects of this second - will be felt fully and understood with greater clarity. And isn't that what so many are seeking, particularly right now? Clarity. Sweet clarity. Clarity, sweet clarity.My promise to you is this - that if you're mindfully living in this moment, turning on and tuning into your five senses... clarity shall be yours. And it can come as fast or as slow as you're willing and open to believing it can. In The Mindful Leader Program for example, we work step by step on ways to stay present and focused on the here and now. It's all-important if you desire to take your Leadership, your impact, your legacy, to new heights.
![]() The Road to Hana, Maui, Hawaii at dusk. It was a 12 hour journey all the way around the island. This was a civilized part of the road. Most was treacherous and darn right scary. I absolutely had to be in the present moment for that entirety of that trip. It was and remains a great lesson. pc: Angela Moonan ![]() As someone who has spent their professional life developing FUTURE SCENARIOS for brands and their supporting organizations, it's an interesting learning curve to focus on the HERE & NOW. Truly, the here and now is the ONLY place of power: Envisioning a different path for your company is a natural part of strategic development and growth. What can sometimes get lost is the appreciation for what you have right here, right now. The employee who just got a five star review from a customer wants to FEEL the APPRECIATION for their applied skills and energy, right here, right now... not sometime off in the distant unknown. Your sales manager who just lost his wife to cancer doesn't need reassurance and commitment from you next month. He needs it - right here and now. For new staff to begin rowing in the same direction as your overall team's vision, they can only learn what that looks and feels like, right here and now. You can only affect profit margins for fourth quarter, right here and now. "The employee who just got a five star review from a customer wants to FEEL the APPRECIATION for their applied skills and energy, right here, right now... not sometime off in the distant unknown." In the 'being present' of it all, focusing your energy and attention right here and now, you are your most resourceful. The future only ever exists, in each present moment, moment by moment. So why not begin where you can actually have a shot at altering the future path? Here and now. Here's a powerful and easy 4-minute exercise you can embrace here and now:
Now, Do a check in with how you're feeling right here and now? Do you feel inspired? Do you feel beaten? Invigorated and optimistic? Or depleted and skeptical? Do you feel nothing? Feeling nothing is ok too. You'll get there. > We're going for inspired, invigorated, and optimistic :)
FEEL into what feels like is missing. Now, in what ways can YOU contribute best to building a bridge from here .. to there. Beginning right here and now. Look to yourself FIRST before you start piecing together the puzzle with your employees. "Don't think chess game, ten moves ahead. Only focus on what's right before you." One step, one inspired action. That's it. Don't think chess game, ten moves ahead. Only focus on what's right before you. The very next step or thought will take you to the next, and the next, and the next... moment by moment. It works! I promise.
