Greetings!  

One of the beauties of our Leadership Source training is that it brings together for 10 weeks amazing people from different backgrounds and with different purposes for attending.  For some, they are there with a clear goal on developing their leadership skills for the benefit of their career.  For others, they may be in a transition and looking for skills and tools that will give them the edge on their new endeavors.

Leadership Source can be described as a "Personal/Professional Development Training".  And everyone gets the "professional" side of leadership development.  What seems to consistently amaze many participants is just how much of what they are learning/applying in the professional life, equally supports them in their personal/family life as well.

 So what do we mean when we say "Personal Effectiveness" anyway?  It is certainly more than just reaching our goals and checking off our "to-do lists".  You might want to think about it as having an excellent return on your investment - the investment of your time, skills and resources as well as the choices you make each day as to where and how you spend your time, skills and resources.  From a practical standpoint, here's a great exercise to help you break this down by doing a Personal Effectiveness Inventory.

• What are the skills you are highly competent/masterful in performing?

• What are the areas in which you would like to be more competent in?
• Look at all of the roles you play:  parent, employee, spouse, community volunteer, etc.  Consider communication, creating partnership, goal setting and achieving, integrity, being a better listener, etc.

• What will being more competent in these areas create for you?  (Expected return on your investment)

• Pick one thing you want to focus on increasing your competency and identify resources to assist you in doing just that.

In the training and one-on-one coaching included in Leadership Source, our   participants quickly learn that when they are making changes in one area of their life, it is simultaneously affecting all areas of their life.  So as they work on setting boundaries with employees at work, they see value in setting boundaries with family and neighbors as well.  As they practice improving their listening skills at work, their spouses and children notice this at home as well.

Have fun doing your Effectiveness Inventory.  Email me (Kelly@SourcePointTraining.com) with any questions you may have on this exercise and do consider me as a resource for how to improve any of the competencies your identified as wanting to strengthen.
