Editor's Notes
- Opening slide Put out candy on table
- I read the books, attended the conferences, listened to podcasts, had discussions, wrote assignments. This is my definition of leader. Great secret --- If you invest in the people around you, they will invest in your leadership.
- This conference theme is WE over ME. I believe that in order to be a leader of “we”, I need to first be a leader of “me”. This is because I know that the people I am most likely to follow are the people who are self-masters. I want to show you a video that helps to explain why you have candy in front of you.
- In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores,[2] educational attainment,[3] body mass index (BMI),[4] and other life measures.[5] --wikipedia. These children mastered themselves for 15-20 mins to not do something that they perhaps really wanted.
- Marshmallow test applies to all of us. Controlling ourselves = mastering ourselves = leading ourselves.
- The rest of this presentation is highly focused on you and how to become the best leader of yourself.
- Areas of life to improve
- Let me tell you a story.
- Story. What I did. What was my goal. Specific: document what I was spending and aggregate info into one spot that was easy to read. Measureable: Needed to be able to identify monthly totals, averages, medians, etc… Outcome: created a spreadsheet for my budget. I wanted a spreadsheet (didn’t have good apps back then and I didn’t have a smartphone), something that was mobile.
- Specific is what you want to accomplish. Can someone who doesn’t know you understand the goal? Measurable is how you know what success looks like. Can you track progress?
- Areas of life to improve
- Story. What I did. What was my goal. Volleyball story of being last one running on the beach. I was last and breathing heavily. Coached assumed I had asthma. Too short of breath to correct him that I was just out of shape. Did little running in 2012-2014. Did my first race with friends. Then did Tough Mudder with another friend. But I wasn’t consistently running.
- Need a volunteer. All you have to do is ask me the questions on the prompt. Why did you want to set a goal of running a 5k each month? Why is that important to you? Why is that important to you? Break into partners and do this with your own goal.
