The Clear Leader
I used to be confused about what it means to be productive. I used to think being busy and filling up my calendar with appointments proved how busy I was and therefore – how productive I was.

Our mind cannot be fooled by avoiding things. To …

Each of us has our own truth. It is rarely the same from one person to the next. People challenge each other with their different truths. However, it is important for us as leaders to keep speaking our truth without judgment and blame. How does one do this? In the past, I have told my truth from a Self Righteous place. But that kind of dialogue creates resistance. Even if you are “right” and there is value in your truth for another, it will not be heard. It may sound odd but learning to speak more truthfully, for me, meant …
