Mikolaj’s Monday Maunder-A better man or woman

Inspiration and lessons for your leadership journey!

"Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every New Year find you a better man or woman."
~ Benjamin Franklin ~

Happy New Year’s! This week's blog is dedicated to my daughter, Jessica, and my new son-in-law, Jonathan, who were married yesterday afternoon - with yours truly officiating! Congratulations and the best of love to you both!

Are you a better man or woman than you were a year ago? If you can't respond with a resounding "Yes!" then this is a great time to get started. 

Get out your copy of A Travel Guide to Leadership and review Chapter 3, GPS for Leaders - Leah and I are.

It's the time of the year to re-examine your Life Mission Statement. Does your Vision, Mission, and Purpose still fit well with you? What about your guiding principles or values? What is one goal you can add under each pillar?

Remember, that although we reflect on the past year to learn and envision goals and dreams for the New Year, all we ever truly have is the present moment.

As part of this process, I offer to you three extras for your reflection: A new and inspiring video from Danish Ahmed and a couple of links to blogs that might also be inspirational and informative for you as a leader looking to the New Year.

Don't forget this week's affirmations.

May 2013 be a year of happiness, success, love, and abundance for you and yours!

Happy New Year's and...

Have an amazing journey today!
