This episode of the Seasons Leadership Podcast dives into the importance of investing in yourself for long-term success and growth. We share personal stories that illustrate how minor, everyday choices can accumulate into substantial rewards on your leadership journey.

Show Notes:
(1:25) Everyone agrees with it, but they just don't do it. We break down why people choose not to invest in themselves. 

(4:46) We share what it means to invest in yourself through gaining knowledge incrementally. How seemingly small investments amount to large pay offs in the long run. 

(7:40) We observe that the most successful leaders are the ones who have invested in themselves. We talk about some inspiring stories from the 2024 Summer Olympics and the importance of having a clear vision of what you want.

(11:20) You are worth it! We talk about why it is not being selfish to invest in yourself and the example you set for others.

(17:00) Coming soon you will have the opportunity to invest in yourself by taking our new, online leadership course Elemental Leadership. Don't wait for anyone else to give you permission, if you want to be a better leader, invest in yourself today.

Strong leaders assert agency

This summer, I've been reflecting on the concept of agency because my coaching clients have been talking about it. People say things like, “I could never do that!” or “I’m burning out, my boss doesn’t see all that I do!”
