Clear Messages lead to executed goals

Ever wonder when communicating with others what you want, some don't seem to get it? If you want your ideas to be executed you must articulate four things effectively:

1. The Vision - What is the big picture or the end of the moment?

2. The Goal - What step are we working on that will contribute to the big picture?

3. The How - How can this step be executed?

4. The Follow-up - Did you do what I requested and did you get the result you wanted?

Blurred Vision

If your focus is impaired, achieving your vision is impossible.

Time is your Ally!

Time Management Matters

Can you really manage time? Not really, time never ceases! Stop managing time and start managing the "why" to achieve greater results.  Managing the "why" helps you to discover what matters.   Exceptional leaders manage their decisions and priorities based on what or who matters rather than how much time is required to handle the matter!

Precise in Direction

Leaders must hold the line! We must communicate organizational goals clearly, get collaborative agreement, inspire productivity, measure results while maintaining a steady direction to attain relational, intellectual, emotional and financial profitability.

The Curious Leader

Curiosity forces you to ask, seek and knock! Being curious keeps you from settling in your comfort zone, challenges your thinking, causes reflection, stimulates versatility and compels you to explore, expand and choose!

Results-Oriented

It's not enough to focus on results but you must fall in love with the results.  Falling in love gives you energy, passion, obsession for the result you desire.  Fall in love with what you want and it will give you the fuel to propel you forward and compel you to finish it!

Lead as a Player on the Team

Leadership is influence and without a team to influence there is no leadership. Lead as a player on a team and your individual effort will influence the collective effort of others that is required for a common goal to achieve uncommon success!  Woman, Finish It! Coach Anna McCoy

Advocate for Others

 Nothing is more powerful than recognizing and advocating the talents of others while climbing the ladder of leadership. Whether it is defending their idea, promoting their strengths or pulling them upward and pointing them forward, everyone can use a helping hand!

Identity - Strong Sense of Self and Character

Identity: What is it?  I often tell people, "If you don't define who you are, others will define you. " It's true, isn't it?  We need to have a strong sense of self; otherwise, we are likely to fall victim to the manipulation of others, prone to feel powerless (and subsequently to lack the ability to make choices for ourselves).  Deep introspection--reflecting thoroughly on our thoughts, ideas, past experiences, and behaviors--helps us to discover and define who we really are.

Know when to Quit and When to Stick

"Quitters never win and winners never quit!" Vince Lombardi

There's a new sheriff in town and knowing when to quit is good business and wise leadership.  Winners do quit and quitters do win.  If the facts say quit before you loose your shirt, QUIT!  If the facts say you can stick it out just a bit longer, the reward is coming, STICK!

"Quitting because it's the right thing to do is wisdom!" Coach Anna McCoy

Manage Small Opportunities Well

Have you ever been given a project and you had a thought, "why are they giving this to me?" Well, consider that new assignment as an opportunity to shine. An opportunity is defined as a favorable combination of circumstances, time and place.

When we manage every opportunity regardless of its significance, it will provide a chance, an occasion, or an opening for something greater to occur in our life.

Exposure - Open to Paradigm Shifts

  Growth in leadership requires a passion for exposure.  As you open yourself up to new opportunities, people, places, or knowledge you expand your view of the world. The picture to the left is commonly used to help individuals experience a paradigm shift instantly.  What do you see?  By shifting perspective you might see an old woman or a young woman, try to see them both.
 
The shift occurs when what you thought to be true shifts to something else that is also true.  It changes the way you see the world around you.  Being open to paradigm shifts is sobering and empowering at the same time. Great leaders are not afraid to expose themselves to the benefits of paradigm shifts.

Mentor and Pass on Knowledge

Achieving success never happens alone, it comes from the top up and the bottom down.  As we pursue our dreams we need others to lend a helping hand to navigate our journey. Never forget where you were before you became and always remember the "reach back" program involves extending your hand to help others and pass on knowledge.

Servant Leadership

Serving is leading.  Think about this for a moment, the one who serves first leads others by example.  Showing others through acts of service have far greater benefits then commanding and telling.  Be a servant leader, never allow yourself to be beyond any task that would support you in teaching and leading others.

Be Teachable

A teachable spirit will open doors, unlock secrets, build others, accept losses, celebrate failures and shift your paradigms of truth!

Be Versatile

Versatility is everything in getting ahead and leading others. Being versatile is about trust, risk, adventure, openness, expansion, flexibility and a readiness to do what it takes to get you where you want to be in life! Woman, Finish It!

Scrimp Time!

It's time to scrimp. You've heard the saying before, "we had to scrimp, scratch and save just to survive." Six ways to scrimp on your finances:

S- Stop the fiscal bleeding-Elimate Debt
C- Create an emergency fund
R- Reserve Cash, Reduce Spending
I- Increase Revenue Streams
M- Manage Expenses
P- Prepare a budget - adopt a needs base spending policy

Financial Priorities

Financial priorities are essential for success. Knowing what's a high financial priority versus a low financial priority will make you or break you. For example, if you are single and have two vehicles, maintaining the one that is necessary versus the one you wanted determines the priority. Before you lose it prioritize and keep what's necessary!

Simplify, Simplfy, Simplify!

Ever feel completely overwhelmed when you walk in your office, kitchen, or bedroom. What about getting in your car? I bet it takes the wind right out of you. Think about this: What is within your power to simplify today! Try cleaning out the trunk of your car or just those pockets of the side of the door or the back of the seat. It's a big job but you can do it. Simplifying means getting rid of clutter. De-clutter and simplify some space today, anywhere! Woman, Act Now!
