Quick Tips for Self-Leadership:

• Choose your professional Brand. If you don’t, someone else will. Make sure it is professional and unique to you. Branding is not only about outer appearance; it also includes having a calm demeanor, upbeat attitude, being on time, or providing outstanding customer service to your internal and external clients.
• Apply self-management techniques vs. stress management. Self-management takes place in your mind vs. relying on outside factors that only temporarily reduce stress. You choose when to change your thinking.
• Lead your executive to a strategic partnership and increase team productivity by having “human moments”, getting more engaged in the scope of his or her work, involving yourself in greater decision making, and always helping your executive maintain a competitive edge.
• Develop persuasion and negotiation skills. Daily, you have opportunities to persuade or negotiate whether working with an administrative team, individual or your executive.
• Catapult your success by thinking “results” not the tasks you have to perform in any given day.
• Every day you are on stage, whether on the telephone, walking into someone’s office or sending an e-mail. Make sure you always put your best foot forward.
• Impress people by being a person of action!
• Focus vs. multitask. Up to 40% of professionals who multitask are ineffective!
• Creativity improves communications, makes your job easier, builds stronger teams, and helps you conquer the challenge of change. Be sure to exercise your creative muscle.
