The Five Commitments Of Optimistic Leaders

Think Impact. Before you act or speak, pause and prepare to listen. As you listen and prepare to respond, ask yourself: am I reacting or have I taken time to reflect?

Cultivate Self-Awareness. Ask yourself, how am I showing up today? Am I fully present? Think about what you want to do to be your best self.

Nurture Relationships . Ask yourself, what am I doing to strengthen my relationships with others? How am I supporting the relationships in my group?

Refine Communication . Ask yourself, am I being mindful of my spoken words? How is my tone? Am I listening to others’ ideas and taking the time to understand and evaluate in order to learn? What kind of feedback am I giving and is it strength-based? Am I aware of everyone’s visual cues?

Activate Curiosity. Ask yourself, am I staying open to learn today or am I simply stating my beliefs over and over again? Am I noticing connections between previous thoughts and new ideas?
