Leadership Tips

Who is in Your Circle?

12/27/2017

0 Comments

 
We are most like the five people that we associate with the most.  Stop and think about who those five people are in your life.  Would you be pleased with yourself if you were like those people?  Hopefully the answer is yes!  If not, it may be time to evaluate who you allow to be in your circle.  

There is a saying that, if you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room.  Although it may be gratifying to be the big fish in a small pond, that is not a situation that fosters growth.  Anyone who is interested in moving to the next level has to begin to associate with people who are on the level that they are aiming to achieve.  When you include those people in your circle, you position yourself to receive valuable advice and expertise as well as networking opportunities.  

How do you know when you have the right circle of peers?
  • You feel encouraged.
  • You feel motivated.
  • You feel capable.
  • You feel your goals are possible and realistic.
  • You desire to try new things.
  • You feel like you can be yourself.

As you grow in your career and your personal life, not everyone that you started with will be with you for the entire journey.  Keep reevaluating who you are associating with to determine if your circle of friends and peers are helping your journey or hindering it.  

​Are you ready to stretch yourself and move to the next level? Consider a coaching session!  I'm here to help!
