MWM | RESILIENCE
One Skill You Need No Matter Your Goal = Resilience is a skill you need no matter your goal—whether you're working toward success or facing a challenge. In Valerie’s new book, The Rules of Resilience, it's described as a personal system you can cultivate intentionally. Resilience doesn't just happen—you have to be intentional about building your own system of resilience.



Resilience Today = Persistence Tomorrow | MWM
Be resilient. Be persistent. = Be resilient. Be persistent. Every day step up to the plate and invest in yourself and commit to yourself to grow—in moments of success and in moments of mistakes—be resilient.

Resilience and Growth= When you go through something, you grow through it. As you think about your goals and what you want to achieve, you make a plan knowing there will be setbacks and things won't go as planned—and that is where you need resilience. Resilience is a skill—a skill that can be learned. 



Living on the Edge - We aren't always going to get it right, remember that. If it doesn't work out the first time, or even the second time - get back up. Embrace being human, embrace being resilient.

Quotes About Thriving

Authenticity Quotes

Quotes About Authenticity / Genuine

  • Authenticity is being what you seem and saying what you mean.
  • Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. --Judy Garland
  • Authenticity is the alignment of head, mouth, heart, and feet - thinking, saying, feeling, and doing the same thing - consistently. This builds trust, and followers love leaders they can trust. --Lance Secretan
  • Authentic values are those by which a life can be lived, which can form a people that produces great deeds and thoughts. --Allan Bloom, American Philosopher (1930-1992)
  • Authentic faith cannot help but act. --Beth Moore
  • Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. --Mother Teresa
  • We think sometimes we're only drawn to the good, but we're actually drawn to the authentic. We like people who are real more than those who hide their true selves under layers of artificial niceties. --Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
  



Can You Admit Problems Exist? | MWM
Authenticity Is The Hallmark of Resilience = Don't pretend, don’t defend. Authenticity is a hallmark of resilience. If you can be authentic and admit problems exist, you can conquer what you are willing to confront.



How Many Leaders You Know of Are Authentic? | MWM
Be Real And Honest = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road. High road leaders are able to embrace authenticity. They admit mistakes, apologize, and are real and honest with others. Authenticity doesn't guarantee success, but lack of authenticity does guarantee failure.  
#Authenticity



The Starting Point of Authenticity



What Jamie Kern Lima Says About Authenticity
Be Real, Be honest, Be You = Being authentic doesn’t guarantee success, but if you lack authenticity it does guarantee failure. Authentic leaders—those who are real, honest, vulnerable, and open—foster confidence, and a sense of security and safety in those they lead. This is because others know that they understand who they are and are comfortable in their own skin. Authenticity is being the very best person you can be, while also being yourself.

From Managing to Coaching | MWM
Ask More Questions = Shift from “managing” to “coaching” people in order to cultivate a coaching culture for growth. Managers focus on tasks and results, while coaches focus on development and potential. In a coaching culture, leaders ask more questions than give answers. They empower their teams to think critically and grow so that growth becomes a shared journey.


Empower Teams to Embrace Change | MWM
Change Is Essential For Our Survival = Change management is a catalyst for growth and innovation. It’s a strategic process that empowers teams to embrace change and minimize resistance, emerging stronger on the other side. When leaders are good at change management, they lead their people through transition, addressing their fears and managing their expectations, while fostering a culture of resilience and adaptability.

Scriptures
1 Timothy 3:5 For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God’s church?
1 Timothy 3:12 A deacon must be faithful to his wife, and he must manage his children and household well.
Luke 16:1-4, 8 - He also said to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions. And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’ And the manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.’ 8 - The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.
