In this time called the “new normal”, it is not difficult to understand that massive changes are taking place at the personal and business level. As a result, the health crisis we are facing has led many to leave the status quo behind.
A clear example is a workforce that has to demonstrate their ability to adapt by working in varied environments. For some, it is a mandatory situation, but for others, it is part of the intelligent risks that every leader must take.
The tension that changes produce is a challenge for many. People would like the change to notify its arrival, or better that it did not arrive. Unfortunately, this is not the case, change is constant in our lives, and those who do not recognize it live under great stress.
Tension has great benefits, but unfortunately, there are few who want to be under tension. A large number of people are willing to settle for an average life. Furthermore, many opportunities, dreams, and goals are not fulfilled because people do not want to be under stress.
Due to the global crisis caused by COVID-19, that many believe is unprecedented, numerous changes have been observed. All those changes in such a short period of time, that for many of us, especially the new generations, have not been seen before
Many of these changes have been established at official levels; others of these changes have been decisions taken individually. What changes did you have to accept? What changes were your own decisions?
During the last months, due to COVID-19 global crisis, maintaining a realistic thinking has been one of the greatest challenges we have faced. After six (6) months or more of the first statements about this virus, there is still a high level of uncertainty.
I agree with the American businessman Max DePree, “the first responsibility of a leader is to define reality” however, during these times of crisis, how can we do that?
Healthy relationships with others are indispensable in many ways when you are building a successful team, finding new partners, growing a business, or keeping up with family and friends. In reality, no one can accomplish anything of significance on their own, as we do not possess all the talents, strengths, and capabilities. However, in order to have great relationships with others, we need to have a healthy relationship with ourselves.
Let’s examine why is important to have a healthy relationship with ourselves and how you can work on your own image and getting to know yourself better.
It is a truth that nobody can achieve something significant alone. Lonely heroes only exist in Hollywood movies and it’s just a myth. People, in general, are brilliant, some in their ideas, others in their talents, in their capacities and strengths but no one can say that they know everything or can do everything. Success is designed to be achieved by a group of people.
If you want to achieve something significant in your life and use your talents, abilities, and strengths, let’s discuss how relationships will take you to your next best step.
Increasing your productivity to the point that you are more efficient and effective in achieving your goals with the least amount of resources is what we all strive for. For many years it’s been demonstrated by the science of achievement that goal achievement is only possible when focusing on the correct habits.
In this blog, we will go through 4 effective steps that will allow you to turn the “force of habit” in your favor and not against you.
Your habits magnify or limit you. No doubt about it. The biggest and most successful entrepreneurs, as well as the most influential and famous people, have habits that have led them to success, even more, they have made success a daily habit.
I invite you to reflect on how as architects of culture we can create a “culture of success” in our personal environment, with our teams and organizations. Let’s observe the 5 abilities that successful people use to create that culture of success.
Some time ago I was visiting Wynwood, a historic neighborhood, north of downtown Miami. You can find amazing works of art in this place. Almost all of these works of art created over the walls are made by street painters from different parts of the world. What I find interesting is that each one of these paintings has a short life span. They are erased only to be replaced by another new creation. These works of art remind me of a day in our lives.
Let’s observe how success should be built on a daily basis and which habits will allow us to achieve it.
If you do a Google search for the definition of success, you will find a lot of different definitions. Some of them are based on achievements and how people feel about them. Others are based on popularity or material acquisitions. Some such as having the respect of intelligent people, not being frustrated, being happy, finishing a project, not having stress, are some of the definitions that grab my attention. Others say that it is a mixture of elements and others that is the balance between them.
Let’s see why we should not generalize the definition of success and what steps you can take to define your personal success.
