When no one's watching.

What I do when no one is watching says everything about me.  It’s easier to display what I want people to see when I’m in front of them.  I can say all the right things do all the right things in that moment.  But If I don’t follow through on what I said then it says all they need to know about my character and that’s hard to overcome in the future.  

Leadership is living my life based on my principles and values or simply my character.  Everyone has character and it’s up to that person to define their character based on their principles and ultimately their actions for all to see.  As I get older I’m starting to see through what people want me to see versus what I really see.  I’m not as easily fooled charisma, grandious promises etc and I guess I’m getting a little more pessimistic of people.  I don’t want to follow people that don’t have the same values or principles that I hold dear.  I’m also very careful and choosy of who I souround myself with.  The people that I choose to let into my life need to be people that I respect and expect more of me that I do of myself.  They must push me to be a better version of who I am.  These people have demonstrated that they live their values and do this when no one is watching.  

This year I’m working to achieve my professional coaching certification.  I have a real passion for people and business development.  As I work my way through this I’m going to be focusing on strengthening and enhancing my own values.  I will be the leader and coach that lives by example and helps people to do the same in their lives and businesses.  Most of this development will happen when no one’s watching.
