You’ve completed the Leadership Mastery Program!
You claimed your genius, understood your power, documented your fears and used it all to impact work and life. It’s no small feat - you should be proud. Now, you get the opportunity to practice and live it. Remember the laundry…
Remember
It’s so important to stay connected to your personal genius as a reminder of how dynamic and unique you truly are. It’s important to stay connected to your shadow to monitor how to plays out in your life. True mastery is having a relationship to both of them. Some ideas:
Take photos of your schematics and put it in your phone
Create a digital version of it so it’s easy to read and use
Hang it in your office and/or bedroom to keep it top of mind
Conduct a weekly or monthly check-in with yourself to understand if there’s something in your genius that is ready to be experienced or if something in your shadow is ready for deeper exploration
Use your fear train as a tool when you get triggered by a situation to understand which part(s) need attention
2-3 months after your program end date, review your notes from the whole program as it will awaken new revelations
Connect
One of the most powerful usages of your genius and shadow is to connect to people and be known.
Imagine every spoke as a node of connection, where someone is able to connect to
The more nodes you expose (ie the more parts of you that you share), the more opportunity there is for intimacy - either personal or professional
Deeper intimacy enables trust. Trust is the backbone for collaboration, teamwork and effective leadership
Vulnerability creates followership and inspires teams and your direct reports forward
Sharing more of you is a practice so do a little every day
Pick people in your life to share your full genius and shadow. Inspire them to make their own
Look for the genius in others - if you have it, they do too. Strive to understand the dynamism inherent in people vs quickly pinning them to a more basic definition. Curiosity and openness will guide you here
Commit
Through the process, we’ve arrived at a series of actions - new behaviors to try and which fears to navigate.
Create a document which synthesizes and prioritizes the actions
Put a post-in on your desk reminding yourself of the 1-2 things you are practicing each week
Commit to your Practice Labs - show up ready to share, express
Share it with your leader and peers so people know what you’re working on and why
Incorporate it into your development plans
Create a monthly meeting for yourself to check in with the actions and experiment with new ones
The efficacy of the work we did together is entirely based on your ability to practice it - in work and in life
