Bonus Guidance for "Personal Leadership"

(available to the students who have completed the

Bonus Assessment/Quiz "Are you a Good Leader?" offered in the Wrap-Up Module of "Baladi Advanced Course - Maa´lema Edition")

 

Here´s the STEP BY STEP guidance you can adopt in order to develop

the skill of Personal Leadership:

 

1. Get clear on where you are and where you want to go.

1.1. Look at your dance and life. Establish 1 goal per area that moves you from within. Goals must be personal, they must come from the heart, filled with passion and motivation (motive for action), and be objective, measurable, and practical. 

2. Once you´ve established the 2 Goals that are meaningful to you - one for your Dance and one for your Life -, establish 10 Action Steps per Goal.

Action Steps are actions, habits, rituals, some sort of movement forward that you´ll have to do in order to achieve your goal or get significantly closer to it.

2.1. Schedule the 20 Action Steps - 10 steps per area, 10 for your dance and 10 for your life - on your agenda.

Define WHEN you´re going to execute the steps you´ve established. You need to attribute a date and a time slot to each action step.

2.1. After you´ve scheduled your 20 Action Steps on your agenda, EXECUTE THEM. Protect your non-negotiable goals, the things that really matter to you, by protecting the Action Steps that´ll take you to the materialization of those goals.

Execute. Execute. Execute.

3. After you´ve set your Goals; after you´ve established the next 10 Action Steps (per goal); and after you´ve scheduled those Action Steps on your agenda, it´s time to OWN THE CONSEQUENCES.

Owning the consequences, or results, or fruits of your decisions and actions is a major key on the path of Personal Leadership and Self-Empowerment.

Imagine the worst-case scenario (what could go wrong and how you´d handle it) and the best-case scenario (what succeeding in those goals would look like and how you´d handle it). 

Realize there are no free rides - there´s always a price to pay for our decisions and actions. Paying that price is essential. 

 

***

In the process of developing your Personal Leadership, always consider WHAT MATTERS TO YOU; WHAT KIND OF DANCE AND LIFE YOU WANT TO CREATE.

It´s not what other people want, it´s what YOU want. 

Do a periodic check-in and ask yourself "what sets my soul on fire?" and pursue it. With joy. Confidence. And with your eyes on Progress, not Perfection.

 

P.S: You got this! Go get it, tiger!
