Welcome to the REAL. Leadership newsletter. 

This month’s newsletter is all about having a positive mindset. It’s easy to lead when everything is going well, it’s when things are challenging that leaders have to step up and provide reassurance and inspiration.

From the rising cost of living, the ongoing pandemic effect to the war in Ukraine, there’s no denying it’s a challenging external environment on top of the daily leadership challenges.

Here at REAL. Leadership we believe that positive leaders must show a resilient attitude, focusing on overcoming these challenges with energy and purpose and constantly encouraging others with their uplifting leadership.

Find out more about the importance of having people around you, and for those of you running your own business the value of the “non-corporate eco-system” that is on your doorstep, and the support from the thousands of people like you who have made that brave move.

If you live to 80, you’ll have barely more than four thousand weeks on earth. How will you decide how to spend them?
Four Thousand Weeks explores concepts of time and time management, arguing that our modern attempts to optimise our time leave us stressed and unhappy. Drawing upon the work of ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual leaders, this book proposes a path to cultivating a fulfilling life through embracing our limitation.

 

What our clients have to say….“Within a short time of working together, we uncovered key areas for me to work through and challenges to take on.
