Wanting Things to be Different
07/02/24 • 14 min
Jen discusses how leaders can navigate situations where they wish circumstances were different, but can't change them. By shifting their mindset and responding purposefully, leaders can turn challenges into opportunities for growth and set a positive tone for their teams.
1. Shift from asking "why" to "how" you can navigate the challenge and focus on turning it into an opportunity.
2. Acknowledge and accept unchangeable circumstances to free yourself from the mental burden of resistance and move forward with a positive attitude.
3. Communicate transparently with your team, seek input, and focus on actionable steps that align with your goals and values to make a meaningful difference.
