Hello Climate Influence community! Hope your June is starting off well.
I have been trying to find a way to be more fluid and authentic in what and how I share, so this quick, informal audio post is a test of that.
***
I think, a lot, about what might hold leaders back from acting on their personal values, and I’ve been reflecting a lot on what has held me back in the past, and it just turns out to be “what others might think.”
That is a very thin membrane, an easy thing to break through. What is keeping you from putting a pin prick in that membrane or tearing a whole in the veil that binds you to “the way things need to go” in your work world?
What would really happen if you did step through to the other side? To a place where you could be your more authentic self, sharing more about the climate-values based behaviors you act on in your own life?
Climate Influence is all about identifying your own, getting comfortable sharing it and adding to the collective. For those who do break through to the other side and find their joy, how do we pull more of our peers along? It’s about building our “bench” even a little more and changing the PERCEIVED social norm of leadership.
Those who make business decisions in alignment with the joy they have from living their personal values can be the new norm. We can make it so.
Listen in and let me know what you think. Share your moment of membrane breakthrough. Let’s normalize this ever so slightly bolder way of leading, one story at a time.
