Realizations Michael had after dealing with his own overwhelm:
- I could give more
- I can grow on purpose
- Every leader needs help
“Your employer will soon forget the long hours that you spent at work, but your children will never forget the memory making moments.” -Michael Nichols
The Five Phases (video) (PDF) that Michael articulates in this episode to conquer overwhelm:
- Purpose
- Path
- Plan
- Prepare
- People
The four things leaders are typically interested in getting better at:
- Improving income/revenue
- Leadership skills development
- Becoming more effective/efficient
- Leading better through change
Michael mentioned the Personal Life Plan Guide and The SIMPLE One-Page Business Plan as resources, as well as the Guidestone Executive Retreat Center.
