The Voice of Leadership - the importance of finding your voice right now

Today we are exploring The Voice of Leadership. We are living in a time when it has never been more important to find and express our authentic voice. We need the strong voices of experts and leaders now more than ever.  What kind of leader are you? How will that reflect in your voice and how you show up for your colleagues, clients and the world at large?
​

​E1 Who am I to speak as a leader? (How to overcome Imposter syndrome)

1. “Why would anyone want to see me again in a movie?  And I don’t know how to act anyway so why am I doing this?”  Meryl Streep-The most Academy Awards nominated person of our time
2. Most of us doubt our ability to lead. This shows up either as overconfidence or overwhelming feelings of being a fraud even though there is clear evidence that you are not a fraud or imposter.
3. Most great leaders did not identify themselves as such.  They become consumed by a vision or righting a wrong and had to step outside of their fears and doubts to see it through.
4. Make friends with your imposter feelings. They are an indicator that you are about to do something great.

​E2 Why your unique way of saying it is the magnet

1. “Leadership requires two things: a vision of the world that doesn’t yet exist and the ability to communicate it.” – Simon Sinek
2. It is important to use language that expresses your dream or goal from your heart rather than your head so you will attract the right people needed to manifest it.
3. Most of the discontent and lack of cohesiveness in businesses are due to the leader being unable to clearly articulate their vision.  They express what to do rather than create an atmosphere where people can succeed beyond what they thought was possible.
4. Trust your instincts and dare to voice your vision in a way that is clear and filled with passion.  It’s contagious and people will be inspired to do their very best to support you.

E3 Could emotional intelligence be the most important quality of leadership?

1. “The greatest ability in business is to get along with others and influence their actions”                 . - John Hancock
2. Most leaders spend a lot of time on “business smarts”, intellectual capability and technical knowledge. Our greatest leaders understand that their ability to handle their emotions intelligently influences their team’s mood.  The mood of the team drives how they perform and their willingness to go the extra mile.
3. Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand your own and others’ emotions and how they drive behavior and how to use this knowledge to motivate and inspire others.
4. We often think of the words emotional and intelligence as opposites. The hearts of leaders are intelligent and the minds of leaders are filled with heart.  The french word for heart is coeur which is the root of the word courage.

​E4 What is your voice of leadership?

1. “Real leadership comes from the quiet nudging of an inner voice…(and) realizing the time has come to move beyond waiting to doing.”  – Madeleine Albright 
2. Leaders go first.  They lead when things are uncertain or dangerous.  They are inspired by that still, small voice within to make the first move and often they don’t even know where it will lead them but their new vision of the world demands that they  MUST move.
3. Once they start moving and voicing their vision they are often ridiculed because they have the audacity to stand out from the crowd.  Then they have to handle the emotions and stress that comes with being the one out there in front. Just when their tenacity and courage to hold fast to the vision is about to run out, someone else hears their message and it vibrates their visions.  They join the one who went first and before long the leader finds himself in the back of the line because he has empowered and inspired others to help manifest the vision.  The energy of inspiration passes back and forth until the vision is made manifest and the leader is lead by those he empowered and uplifted.  And so the story goes…
4. The world needs great leaders and strong voices now more than ever.  Listen for the still, small voice that nudges you.  Let that voice of leadership well up inside you until it vibrates your entire being.  Let your heart lead you while your intelligence and skill support you.  I can’t wait to see what your vision creates and hear YOUR voice of leadership.
