Coffee on Leadership

There is a Mexican restaurant that was close to our house when we used to live in the LA area, and this restaurant is known for the way that they greet their customers when they walk in the front door. So right when you walk in the front door, whichever employee sees you first will yell out, “Hey, where have you been?,” and that feeling of warmth and belonging when they yell that out and give you a big smile, there's just nothing like it. I think that's honestly what I thought of when I pulled out my podcast microphone today and plugged it in – I realized I wanted to give you a little update of where I've been, what I've been up to, and to let you know that we're back and there's gonna be some new episodes rolling out regularly soon. So here we go, welcome back! Visit this episode's blog post here. Connect with Chaili on Instagram: @coffeeonleadership --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coffeeonleadership/message

“Daring leaders who live into their values are never silent about hard things.” Brené Brown. Our values guide our attitudes, behaviors, and decision-making as a leader. If you have been to any of my in-person workshops or sat in my courses as a university student, then you know I always start in the same place--with your values. It has always been a natural starting point for leaders because leaders make decisions every. single. day. And my job, as an educator passionate about connecting your ideas to action from a place of deeply integrated leadership, means that I need to show you how to create those maps for yourself to understand why you do what you do, so that you can find alignment between your being and doing. Values Micro-Lesson: https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vs5P0hfuB/ And if you do know your values, take some time to reflect: How will I integrate these values into my work and leadership now?
