In March 2021, Gallup scored employee engagement as low as 15%. Add to this the current Great Resignation and the fact that, according to SHRM, less than 10% of employees actually use their organization’s EAP services … something has to change! Managers develop support and development for today’s landscape. Professional and leadership development go hand in hand.
Today, more than ever before, the foundational skills of time management, organizing, planning, and communication must be matched with managers and leaders also having confidence, influence, and courage for productivity, engagement, role, and life success.
Self-leadership is the ability to lead oneself: if you can’t effectively lead yourself, then this directly impacts the effectiveness of leading others. Ponder this: would you follow you? Dee Hock, founder of Visa, has been quoted saying, “If you want to lead, invest at least 40% of your time in leading yourself.”
Self-leaders understand that their influence, courage, and confidence impact performance, profit, and people. Great leadership starts with great self-leadership, and Office Professionals are more and more being seen as the essential leaders they always have been. This interactive and collaborative webinar will help fire up confidence, courage, and influence through self-leadership.

Question: What are your thoughts on the 24-hour rule?
Answer: I’m not too sure exactly what you mean by 24-hour rule, Megan, but I’m going to I assume it means that you don’t need to be switched on, plugged in, tuned in, ramped up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, unless that’s what you’re paid to do. So if that’s what you mean, then I absolutely think it’s important that if you’re a leader, your role modeling, you’re not paying your people to be to be working 24 hours a day, it is unhealthy.
Question: How do you lead yourself when you are a perfectionist?
Answer: Well, it’s good to know that you’re a perfectionist. If you know you’re a perfectionist, then you have a choice, don’t you? You have a choice to work on that and to understand that further. And I think, you know, like, taking on board programs and training and learning around the strategies you can do and the feedback that you get from others will help you with that as well.
Question: How effective and feasible do you think self-leadership is, particularly in a work environment, where you’re constantly controlled by the surrounding environment? What are likely the results in such cases?
Answer: Self-leadership could be an inner journey, and I think it’s important that when we work on that, we can find strategies to deal with that, and I’m going to work through a few of them, and some of these might resonate for you. Hopefully that that might make sense as we work through some of these.
