As human beings, we love to be wowed so when you are given the opportunity to step up, deliver what you said you would but also make sure that you leave some extra in the tank so you can do things to wow them. Do things to make them take a step back and feel amazing. Do something that will blow their minds. It might seem like a tough ask but when you get to know the person/people you are dealing with, you might be surprised to find out that it doesn’t take that much to wow.

PROMPT: What did you do to blow minds? How did it feel?

We should give and give more. Giving is a beautiful thing and it has a way of coming back to us even when we least expect it. That said, we have to give without expectations. We should give for its own sake. Doing that is a beautiful and liberating act. When you give without any expectation, the act becomes even more beautiful, and should anything come back to you, it feels wonderful because you didn’t expect it to. Give for it’s own sake but also make sure you have before you give.

PROMPT: What was the last thing you gave without expectation?

Power is a wonderful thing. It feels good but it also does something cool: it reveals who the person is at their core. We might be friends when we are on the same level but once power is given to someone, well, they will reveal their true self. The lesson is this, do not let power consume you. Once you are put in the position of authority, make a conscious effort to be benevolent. Listen. Empathize and support your colleagues.

PROMPT: How do you handle power?

Whenever you are given the chance to learn something new, take it. Remember you can learn a lot from almost anyone if you stay open and find the lessons in experiences that come your way. It’s always a good day when you can learn something new and that should be every day, no matter how small the thing you learn is.

PROMPT: What was the last time you had an opportunity to learn something new? What did you learn?

When you are the point person, the leader of a team, you have to be strong for the team. The team relies on you to be there for them when they need support. If you are not strong enough for yourself with more in the tank, do not be surprised if the team crumbles. Forget the weakest link, it’s on you. Lead with grace and strength.

PROMPT: When was the last time you had to carry your team? What happened?
