In the 2nd part of an interview, Diana Poulsen reveals 4 more steps on a way to become a conscious leader.   In The Second Episode, Diana, Anna And Marta Discussed: Step Two; VISION: develop a vision for yourself/your project/your team. See the bigger picture and meaning in it, expand your vision beyond the details. Make a commitment to it. Step Three; INSPIRATION: find self-less confidence within. "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Gandhi. Once you move towards greater purpose, you lose selfish craving for recognition and you start enabling others around you without too much stress and pressure: your clients, colleagues, suppliers, your team, your business, organization and so on. You become an inspiration for others by dedicating to your vision. You give a direction by leaving space for creativity of any parties involved. Step Four; DETERMINATION.: Focused actions and mindful decision making. Determination, commitment and steady movement towards your personal/business/team/company vision. Taking actions and making decisions which are in alignment with overall values and vision. Step Five, OPENNESS: Everything is changing all the time, especially in fast pace technology work: "effectiveness is a measure of true". Finding the time to review your/your project's/your employees' growth, lessons and effectiveness. Finding space for free expression, review, understanding and support for your own mistakes and people who are involved in your project.   ———— This is Part 2 of 2-parts program.

Can you be the Hero of your own movie? Or the author of your own life story? To what degree can you design your life? And how can you exercise a free will if things are written in the starts? Listen to our fascinating discussion with Stoyan Yankov where we explore the notions of destiny, the ability to control our lives, the law of attraction and many more!  We Were Discussing 5 Theories About Human’s Ability To Design Their Lives: TRUE OR FALSE? 1. People reject the thought of being able to create their life, because that would mean that they have a full responsibility for it, and there’s no one left to blame for everything that happens. 2. Life is like a computer game. Your circumstances and the attributes (background, personality, strengths and weaknesses) of your player have been set up, but it’s up to you how you play the game. 3. Everything happens for a reason. Some things are written in the starts and you need to go through them in your life. 4. You attract what you think. If something bad happened to you, it means you had to attract it somehow with your thoughts 5. There is a window that exists between the moment you have an instinct to change and your mind killing it. It’s a 5-second window. And it exists for everyone. -------------------- Find out more!
