Craig Johns talks about OWN Your OWN FREEDOM, the first of the 8 ways to own your OWN Influence.
OWN Your OWN FREEDOM
Find the passion, happiness & direction in your life!
Your passion can be anything in the world that challenges you, intrigues you and motivates you in life. It’s not about doing something you love so that it doesn’t feel like work, a passion is something that puts you to work.
Happiness is a feeling that occurs when you know your life is great and you just can’t help smiling. People feel happiness for different reasons, have you found your happiness or are you still in the pursuit of happiness?
If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything. What is your reason for living, your purpose in life, and as Simon Sinek says “What is your why”? If it all starts with why, then what is the direction you are taking in life?
OWN Your OWN FREEDOM
Three questions to ask yourself in OWN Your OWN FREEDOM
What makes you come alive?
What are your innate strengths?
Where do you add the greatest value?
If you are still struggling to identify your direction, there a 3 deeper questions that will bring you clarity, which are in this podcast episode.

CEO Performance Tip
Leadership Overwhelm – As a leader, have you ever felt
completely overcome in mind or emotion, where you feel a stress or combination
of stressors are too big for you to manage? This is the feeling of overwhelm.
Everyone experiences some level of overwhelm and the important thing to
remember, is that it is all manageable. Rather than fighting your feelings of
overwhelm you can accept that anxiety is like riding a wave and it will be
easier; learn to turn overwhelming thoughts into helpful thoughts; shift your
thoughts from having to complete everything right now to focusing on one thing
at a time; identify what you need to be present with right now; take a deep
breath to relax the body; and most importantly engage in an action that you
enjoy before rushing into solve the trigger of overwhelm. Start taking control
of your overwhelm today.

CEO Performance Tip
Dedicate Time To CEO
Exercise – Why should a CEO dedicate time in
their busy schedule to incorporate exercise into their daily routine? A CEO
with low energy poses a big problem for a company, as they create a stress
environment each day. Creativeness, decision-making and attention suffer as a
consequence. Family relationships and social life will be impaired, as they
will take longer to complete tasks and will have less energy, than a fit CEO,
to use after work has finished for the day. For CEO’s and leaders to maintain
high levels of integrity, think strategically about the future, have clarity
when making decisions, be energetic and have the confidence to lead a high performing
team, they need to be healthy. This means they need to be attentive to regular
exercise, fuelling their body with the right food, freeing their mind and
recovering with purpose.

CEO Performance Tip
Leaders Speak Last – How often do you go into a meeting and the lead person
talks, talks and talks some more? The people in the room begin to switch off
and when time comes to action following the meeting, no one really buys into
it. High Performing Leaders always speak last. They may open the meeting and
provide context, before allowing everyone else in the room to speak. They wait
until right at the end of the meeting to wrap up what has been said and
identify steps forward. This ensures everyone has an opportunity to speak, new
ideas can surface and the team makes the decision. In a 30minute meeting, a
high performing leader may only speak for 1-2 minutes.
Tweets
