Yes & You - The Language of Leadership

YES & YOU

Short & Simple

Saying “YES” to the:

·       challenges offered to you

·       opportunities to stretch you

·       exposure of feeling vulnerable & uncomfortable requests

… is accepting your LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT experiences.

If you had said “no”, … what experiences of capability building, wisdom seeking & confidence growing would you have missed?

In this busy world, the new ‘YES’, is a confident ‘No’.

Unfortunately, saying “no” could be a career limiting move.

For women in particular, YOU need to say “YES” even though you ‘only have 90% of the requirements.’

LEADERSHIP isn’t about YOU.

It’s about how you communicate accountability & responsibility.

YOUR goal is to role-model, to inspire others to follow YOU, to enable & engage people to feel that they belong & how they add value in their workplace.

YOU should be saying, “YES Louise, YOU’VE got a few good points here!”
