Sunday Thinking

The weekly Sunday Thinking newsletter is quick-hit content that aims to provide a booster shot to your thought process as you end and start your week.

I. Making Your Influence Count

Being a leader isn't just about a position at work. We're all leaders in some way because we all influence others. Make your influence count in a positive way.

Here are 3 thoughts about leadership:

1. If you model it, your team will live it.

2. You have to share your real self to be your best self. Authenticity is essential.

3. Great leaders are selfless not selfish.

II. Living the 80/20 Way

Live the Pareto Principle lifestyle:

• Relationships. Who are the few people that have the most positive impact on my life? Spend more time with them.

• Priorities. What are the few actions that have the most positive impact on my day? Prioritize them.

• Learning. What are the few information sources I learn the most from? Focus on them.

• Stress. What are the few sources that cause most of the stress and friction in my life? Eliminate them.

III. Your Story, Your Power

"The story you tell yourself can keep you stuck. Healing gives you permission for a rewrite. New story. New season." ― Dr. Thema Bryant

• Healing is not allowing a past chapter to be the end of your story.

• Healing is deciding the universe has something better in store for you.

• Healing is no longer accepting crumbs because you deserve the whole bakery.

• Healing is forgiving yourself for thinking what you've been offered is what you deserve.
