Speaker 1: Helping leaders motivate their people to a higher level of
Speaker 1: performance through strong human relations, team building and Gola TV.
Speaker 1: This is the Seven Minute Leadership Podcast with your host
Speaker 1: Paul fella Aledo.
Speaker 2: Hello everyone, and welcome to the Seven Minute Leadership Podcast.
Speaker 2: It's episode four twenty one. Let me ask you something
Speaker 2: simple but heavy. What's the one thing you need to
Speaker 2: hear today? That question is more than words. It's a
Speaker 2: lifeline because, let's be honest, this year, this season, this world,
Speaker 2: it's a lot. You've got wars on TV, storms in
Speaker 2: the economy, politics that feel more like a circus than leadership,
Speaker 2: and may be worst of all, silence from the people
Speaker 2: you usually count on for direct and maybe just maybe
Speaker 2: you're sitting there right now thinking I don't even know
Speaker 2: if I can lead today. I don't feel like myself.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to say the one thing you might
Speaker 2: need to hear. And I don't care what your title is, leader, follower, CEO, student,
Speaker 2: EMT parent, This is for you. You were not alone,
Speaker 2: and say it out loud if it helps. You are
Speaker 2: not alone. You're not the only one feeling the weight
Speaker 2: of the world on your chest. Before your feet hit
Speaker 2: the floor in the morning, You're not the only one
Speaker 2: trying to show up strong for your team, your family,
Speaker 2: your community while barely holding it together yourself. And you're
Speaker 2: definitely not the only one wondering if it's supposed to
Speaker 2: feel this uncertain, this unstable, this unfair. Here's what I know.
Speaker 2: Leadership isn't about having all the answers. It's not about
Speaker 2: pretending you're okay you're not. It's about showing up anyway.
Speaker 2: It's about being the calm in the chaos, even when
Speaker 2: your own world feels like it's shaking. And sometimes it's
Speaker 2: about pausing just long enough to ask yourself, what do
Speaker 2: I need today? Because before you go inspire your team,
Speaker 2: before you run that meeting, answer that call, or push
Speaker 2: through the next challenge, you need to refill your own tank.
Speaker 2: So if you're overwhelmed, let me give you a second breath.
Speaker 2: If you're discouraged, let me lend you some hope. And
Speaker 2: if you're just playing tired, let me remind you the
Speaker 2: work you're doing matters. The effort you're making is not invisible,
Speaker 2: and the fact that you care enough to keep showing
Speaker 2: up even on the hard days that makes you a
Speaker 2: leader worth following. You don't have to fix the world today.
Speaker 2: You don't have to have the next time ten steps
Speaker 2: mapped out. You just need to take the next right step.
Speaker 2: And sometimes that step is as small as this. I've
Speaker 2: got this and I'm not giving up. So say it
Speaker 2: with me, say it for yourself. I've got this and
Speaker 2: I'm not giving up. So if your confidence is cracked today,
Speaker 2: borrow mine. If your courage is low, take some of mine.
Speaker 2: And if you don't feel seen or heard, trust me,
Speaker 2: someone is watching how you lead through this storm and
Speaker 2: they're learning from you. You may never hear them say it,
Speaker 2: but you're making more of an impact than you think.
Speaker 2: So here's the one thing I want you to hear today,
Speaker 2: loud and clear. You're doing better than you think, you're
Speaker 2: stronger than you feel, and you're exactly the kind of
Speaker 2: leader the world needs right now. This has been the
Speaker 2: seven Minute Leadership Podcast, and I thank you for listening.
