Bambuddha Boost EP35- Pat Armitstead

You can’t lift your bottom line if your people are down

Humanity is sitting in universal grief. We cannot bypass this pain. In order to heal it, we have to feel it. It’s going to take all of us to come together like never before. I believe the greatest gift we can give another right now is unreserved support to step into that level of personal assurance. By that, I mean commune deeply with them and contribute to their wellbeing. Become a conscious leader and show how committed you are to forwarding someone else’s game!

As a leader, you can build trust by doing the following consistently:

– Be present and connect transparently
– Tell people where they stand
– Provide context in every communication
– Frame conversations as dialogues rather than monologues
– Be honest at all times and be your word no matter what

Three key takeaways people will leave with:

– Be able to have empathy for the grief that others might hold
– Work towards consciously being more empathic
– Commit to being their word no matter what
