Transformation starts with transparency. Because people want to know what they are getting themselves into, why they are doing it, and what is going to happen to them.

If you want your project to succeed, don’t hide anything from your people. Be kind. Tell them the truth. When you do, you are more likely to succeed.

According Traci Fenton, ‘Transparency is at work when ideas and information are openly and responsibly shared.’

‘For leaders to own their inner power, they must have a moral compass- and use it.’

Purpose and vision are at work when each individual and the organization know their reason for being and have a sense of intentional direction.’

‘Integrity is at work when each individual and the organization uphold high moral and ethical principles.’

Dialogue and Listening are at work when each individual listens and engages in conversation in a way that deepens meaning and connection.’

Accountability is at work when each individual and the organization are responsible to each other for their actions.’

Decentralization is at work when power is appropriately shared throughout an organization.’

Choice is at work when each individual chooses between different possibilities.’

Fairness and Dignity are at work when each individual is treated justly and impartially and is recognized for their inherent worth.’

Leading Yourself Even More

Lead yourself to greatness. Do not limit yourself. Because you can do a lot for yourself.

Self-leadership doesn’t mean you are doing life by yourself, but for yourself and with others.’

Change won’t happen outside of you until you decide it need to first take place inside of you.’

We either learn to lead ourselves or someone else will happily step in to tell us what our life should be.’

Commit to keeping the empowered mindset in place so the resistance you feel transforms into the opportunity you can seize.’

‘If you want to sustain an empowered way of being, you must be kind to yourself.’

‘I know that it’s easier not to own our own choices, journey, or outcomes, but it’s worth it when we open the space to do it.’

We need to empower ourselves and not wait to be empowered.’

Instead of waiting for someone else to place expectations on you, why not set expectations for yourself?’

‘If you don’t understand your strengths and limitations, it will be hard to discover your power to show up in moments that require advocacy.’

‘When you use your voice, you will experience greater empowerment, engagement, recognition, and overall life satisfaction.’

Being authentic … means being willing to show vulnerability.’
