054: The Gift Mindset: What to Do When Life Throws You a Curveball with Renee Giarrusso

Each of us is limitless, and self-leadership is where it begins. You can't lead others until you know who you are and what you stand for. As a leader, it is essential to energise mindset, accelerate communication, collaboration, and leadership to lift performance and culture. You should be self-aware and have a clear goal for the adaptive leadership mindset where leaders do the things that really matter & create future leaders.

There are skills that you need to have to lead and live a life of purpose, connection and contribution. Empathy is an essential skill, which allows us to see things through the eyes of others. The other is optimism -- appreciating what you have and focusing on what you can do. The last one is curiosity: observing, asking questions, and exploring the things you are curious about.
