This is a dynamic conversation that you don\u2019t want to miss.&amp;nbsp; Key Takeaways:  Most people want to know how they are doing and what their blindspots are. As a leader, your actions speak louder than words. If training isn\u2019t integrated into the operation and culture, it\u2019s not going to stick. When leaders are focused on the tasks required to manage and the results needed everyday, they aren\u2019t necessarily taking the time to develop employees, therefore, you won\u2019t see change. Everyday it\u2019s priority and focus. You need buy-in from the very top - it must be a priority for the entire organization. If you can\u2019t get your mind right first, it\u2019s going to be really difficult to lead yourself much less other people. Morning Alignment:  Journaling Meditation Move   Find what works for you to calm your inner chaos. Try to get away from waking up and immediately checking social media, e-mail, etc\u2026 Authenticity is huge - to be able to say you are proud of yourself Calm leadership starts with collaboration. Companies must carve out time. Coaching is telling people what they are doing right just as much as it is the performance side. New leaders must be curious, ask a lot of questions, be comfortable talking to their people. Look at emerging leaders and develop them. Give them stretch assignments. When your actions align with your intentions, that\u2019s pretty powerful. What makes a good mentor relationship?  Transparency Genuine interest in seeing you succeed. Communication style that works for you Understanding who you relate with, who you respect, who you have seen go through things and come out in a way you admire.
