BEGIN WITH YOUR MISSION STATEMENT
A personal mission statement provides clarity and gives you a sense of purpose. It defines who you are and how you will live.
Draft a concise personal mission statement.“My purpose for being on this earth is to help others recognize, develop, and use their God-given intuitive abilities to ease suffering and grow in goodness, love, compassion, and wisdom. . . .? Char, Franklin, MI
“To find happiness, fulfillment, and value in living, I will seek out and experience all of the pleasures and joys that life has to offer.” Ronnie, Bangor, Australia
“Get up, get going and get ‘er done; take the time to appreciate the gifts God grants.’’ Richard, Mesa, AZ
YOU: ______________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
PROFESSIONAL MISSION STATEMENT
“As an art educator I will conduct myself with a positive attitude as a motivated leader in my field. I will recognize the whole child in each of my students and motivate them to explore the world through art. My perfect world is a place where each individual
uses the gifts God gave them in a positive way.”
Elementary School Teacher
Does a professional mission statement differ from your personal statement? If so how?

Learning Style Practical
Values/Beliefs Faith, Family, Fun, Fitness, Fairness, Fishing
Capabilities/Strengths Achiever, Learner, Relator, Analytical, Strategic
Behaviors/DiSC Style Creative, I like to build and create.
Constraints Time is always my enemy, I need to manage it and myself in a way that allows me to focus my best efforts on the things I love to do, the people I love to be around, and the dreams I hope to realize.
I need and desire the support of others to achieve much of what I want to accomplish. It’s important that I build and sustain relationships that contribute in a positive way to my life and work.
Work is my passion, but I can’t let work overwhelm my other passions in life—like family, fitness and fishing.
WHO’S IN CHARGE?
To understand your role as a leader, and to grow, you must first learn to manage yourself, before you can
reasonably expect others to follow.
ON MANAGING YOURSELF
Create a Strategy (PAP)• Mission/Strengths/Constraints
Allocate Resources• Time• Energy/Effort
Create a Culture• Social Support/Positive Environment
Avoid “Marginal” Cost Mistakes• Alternative choices (pros/cons)
Choose the Right Yardstick• Do you REALLY want to run a marathon?
Clayton Christensen, Harvard Business Review, July 2010
CRITICAL TO SUCCESS - TIME
Is time your friend or enemy? Who’s in charge?
• Boss• Kids• Coworkers• External Demands• Internal Expectations
COVEY ON TIME MANAGEMENT

build relationships, and to allocate energy most effectively and efficiently.

COVEY MATRIX
Urgent Not Urgent
Important
NotImportant
(Covey, 1994)
TAKE TEN AND REVIEW
• Share your quadrant with a partner.
• What activities are consuming MOST of your time?
• Are the demands on your time more internally or externally driven?
• Is the allocation of time consistent with your core purpose/mission/identity?
MANAGE ENERGY NOT TIME
Organizations are demanding ever-higher performance from their workforces. People are trying to comply, but the usual method -
putting in more hours - has backfired. They’re getting exhausted, disengaged, and sick. And they’re defecting to
healthier environments.
Energy Signs Prescription
Physical Sleep, Stress, Diet, Restlessness
Breaks, Routines
Emotional Irritable, Impatient, Negativity
Friends, Support
Mental Focus, Attitude, Interest Level
Plan, Match Task to Energy Required
Spiritual Failure to believe in something (anything) beyond self.
Reflect, Live core values
AVOID CIRCUIT OVERLOAD
• Promote positive emotions.
• Take care of your brain.
• Handle things once.
• Invest yourself in people and activities that foster a positive and productive atmosphere.
Caused by brain overload, Attention Deficit Trait (ADT) is now an epidemic in
organizations. Edward Hallowell, 2005
RECLAIM YOUR JOB
• Prioritize Demands
• Liberate resources
• Exploit Alternatives
ASSESS WELL-BEING
Well-Being:
"the combination of our love for what we do each day, the quality of our
relationships, the security of our finances, the vibrancy of our physical health, and
the pride we take in what we have contributed to our communities.
And most importantly, it’s about how these elements interact."
Rath & Harter, 2010 Well Being: The Five Essential Elements
WELL-BEING FINDER
Gallup's research: Well-being Finder Surveyed more than one million people Over 150 countries

THE TOTAL LEADERSHIP PROCESS
• Be REAL: Act with authenticity, clarify what’s important.
• Be WHOLE: Act with integrity, respect the whole person.
• Be INNOVATIVE: Act, experiment with how to get things done that matter most.
In a study of more than 300 business
professionals (average age 35) satisfaction
increased 20% at work and 28% at home when
committed to a plan that dealt with their “whole”
person.
MINDSET FOR SUCCESS
If you think you can, you can, if you think you can’t, you won’t.
Howard Gardner, author of Extraordinary Mind,
reports that exceptional individuals have “a special talent for identifying their
strengths and weaknesses and figuring out how to
leverage one and mitigate the other. These people have a
“growth” mindset.
BECOMING A LEADER
• Know Thyself• You are your own best teacher.• Accept responsibility, blame no one.• You can learn anything you want to learn.• True understanding comes from reflecting on your
experience.
“Clearly, to become a true leader, one must know the world as well as one knows self.”
Warren Bennis
ASK THE PERSON IN THE MIRROR
• Key questions to ask and reflect on include:• Is my vision clear and present;
something I can readily communicate to others?
• Does the way I spend my time match my priorities?
• Does my leadership style reflect who I really am?
• What do I need to get/stay on track?
• Who is available to help?
FIRE
What makes the fire burn
is the space between the logs,
a breathing space.
Too many logs
packed in too tight
can souse the flames
almost as surely
as a pail of water would.
So building fires
requires attention
to the spaces in between,
as much as to the wood.
When we are able to build
open spaces
in the same way
we have learned
to pile on the logs
then we can come to see how
it is fuel, and absence of the fuel
together, that make fire possible.-Judy Sorum Brown
