If you're constantly downplaying what you say, it can be a real hurdle on your road to leadership. When you make your ideas sound smaller than they are, it can shake people's trust in you, make you look less credible, and even make people question whether you've got what it takes to lead. #effectivecommunication #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipcoaching

Micro-losses don't equal a bad situation. Small setbacks are in fact the only way to get to higher ground in business + life. I've had days where it was much harder to see a path ahead due to situations outside of my control, but coming back to home plate to bat again and again is the best recipe for long term success. The person who holds on the strongest and longest will win! #fintech #growth

Have you ever worked for a bad leader? It's no fun for anyone, right? But when you're working for a good leader, it's pretty sweet. Now here's the challenge: what kind of leader are you?

It takes a team to run anything and to grow.. It's a teamwork mindset. Two minds are greater than one. Explain the why's.. Add more meaning to their tasks.. It's all about empowerment. People want to grow change and evolve. It's part of our genetic makeup. Then take those ideas and run with it.. Ideas are a sign of passion. Don't burn that flame and create a toxic environment. Let the firey passion grow. Passion leads to success.

Such leaders also elevate their team’s motivation and competence.

You cannot be a great leader if you do not work with your team to teach them as well as learn from them. Having a “Leader” (noun) title only gives you a name, working as a team and including everyone involved creates stability, positivity, success and leadership. “Leader” is just a name. Leadership is a verb. Leadership adds value to your team. You need teams to succeed in your growing company. If you want to succeed, include your team.
