The Ripple Continues

Another year has flown by and, as is my tradition, I use this week for reflection on what’s past, what’s present and what’s ahead.  It’s hard to believe that we kicked off our weekly leadership blog series on April 23, 2019 by introducing The LAITHOS Way™.  Since then, Jen, Tee and I have written on…

From Seed to Seedling

Nature is a great teacher. When you pay attention, you will see plants growing in unexpected places and unexpected ways. We can grow too.  Aristotle in The Nicomachean Ethics noted that “For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.” Our last few blogs have focused on…

Conviction Will Carry You

LAITHOS believes that leadership brilliance begins with a deep awareness of self. We call it Strengthen Your Core™.   If you’ve been following us since the start of the new year, you know that getting purposefully connected with your strengths, values and priorities takes work. Purposefully shifting your limiting beliefs and developing the mindset that helps…

Confidence Through Trust

As part of discovering how courage takes shape (see last week’s blog), let’s explore confidence. While it’s easy to think that some people have it and some don’t, it’s just not that simple.  Confidence is built (vs. being simply there or not) and it requires something foundational…trust. The word “confidence” comes from the Latin word…

Start Where You Are

What is courage? Courage is doing something that you are afraid of. We will be exploring how to build it over the next three weeks. But before that happens, clarity around your fears must be achieved. You need to start with where you are. Most of us tend to be risk averse. It’s not necessarily…

Measure Twice, Cut Once

Over the course of the last few weeks, we’ve shared our views on the key aspects of being intentional: Purpose … Presence … Perception – nailing this trifecta is a slam dunk that results in the desired impact. Right? Wrong.  The key lies in the fourth “P” – Preparation.   At LAITHOS, we help our clients gain…

Perception Before Action

In our past few blogs, we addressed the importance of getting grounded in purpose and presence as core aspects of showing up intentionally. The premise is that being intentional increases your chances of creating the impact you want, more so than showing up ‘accidentally’ or without much attention or thought.  Here, we explore a third aspect…

Your Present is Presence

English is not a precise language. Between multiple definitions for single words and the stories we make up about what a word means based on our experiences, it can be confusing.  Take the word presence. At LAITHOS, we use the word to talk about 1) being present and 2) how one shows up to others. Both have…

Be On Purpose

It’s been one of those days … you started with a meeting at 8:30, had back-to-back conference calls until 2; and then get a text from your boss at 2:15 asking to review your team’s latest results.  There have been some extenuating circumstances, and your numbers don’t look so good. Knowing there’s not enough time…

Mind Your Growth

When we operate more from a growth (vs. fixed) mindset, we are more successful. There are numerous specific benefits – increased confidence and resilience, better ability to manage time and solve problems, to name a few. You can learn more about this from Carol Dweck’s work and other professional resources on the subject.  People often…
