This past weekend, courtesy of the Svenska institutet I gained invaluable insights into Self Leadershipš and learned an effective technique for managing stress. According to Kegan and Lahey (2016), "The single largest cause of work burnout isn't work overload, but working too long without experiencing any personal development." š”
Self-leadership revolves around three core components:
1ļøā£ Self-awareness
2ļøā£ Emotional awareness
3ļøā£ Compassion
To truly develop these capabilities, focus on:
- Increasing self-awareness and consciousness
- Enhancing your ability to regulate emotions and make long-term, functional decisions
- Cultivating compassionātowards yourself and your environment, fostering empathy, trust, and presence
At Optimal Performance, you'll find yourself energized, focused, and fully committed. This is where you encounter āpositive stress,ā which propels growth and creativity š±.
Iāve shared a few slides below highlighting these key takeaways. Apply them in your work or studies and letās strive for optimal performance together! šŖš¾
