Powerful tools that transform the way you lead others in business!

Words MIA MUNRO

I have never quite aligned with the way many create success in business, particularly in the past few years. Following the mainstream approach, I experienced many dysfunctions in the frameworks and functionality. They were creating burnout, internal conflict and often separation from the things we value most. Seemed insane to me.

So, I went on an adventure to seek new ways of being in business. I want to share my perspectives, not for you to follow but to consider, so you can define your own. I am an advocate for working out your own toolkit by leaning into the examples of others, while ensuring you customise one to suit your own needs. Modelling others reduces authenticity and we would much rather meet the real and unique you!

Here are a few components of my toolkit that have delivered me great success and allowed me to positively

impact many lives. Stay open and see what might work for you.

1. Be clear on your mission, vision and intentions for each project within your business. This facilitates clear communication to teams, clients and through marketing channels. (So often my vision was crystal clear in my head, and I expected others to just get it. But when I took the stance that it was my role to create clarity for others, then everything began to flow.) This means choosing a team who is open to digesting your truth.

2. Create rituals that allow for the ebb and flow of your personal energy. Your energy needs to dictate activity, not the other way around.

3. Ensure you define your boundaries and space in your workspace to optimise focus and minimise interruptions when you need to be in flow. (This has meant removing assumptions. Most humans operate with unspoken expectations and hidden assumptions. I like to assume that no one knows what my boundaries are and communicate them clearly. This one’s a big gift!)

4. Have a powerful feedback system and reward honest feedback. Humans love receiving feedback when it is given with the intention of growth. We also often need to give feedback but rarely do, unless we feel empowered and safe to do so. This involves developing a deep sense of trust and maintaining open communication.

5. Alignment is one of my favourites. When we feel a deeper sense of purpose or alignment in what we do in our businesses, our energy often seems to match this.

Now it is your turn to create your toolkit. Have fun!
