    The All or Nothing Myth | MWM
    Leadership Is Never All Or Nothing = The all or nothing mindset says that if I can't get to the top, then I won't even try. By having an all or nothing attitude you are saying you will only do your job and nothing more, and this can hurt your leadership career.

        Add Value by Imparting Confidence | MWM
        How To Use Confidence To Boost Insecurity = People are insecure, and because of that you want to give them confidence. Being secure and confident in oneself is an asset in helping other people. When you say something to other people that make them a little more confident and secure in themselves, and if you do that you build a more solid relationship with them



        Are You Secure in Your Leadership? | MWM
        You Have What It Takes = You must be secure in who you are—comfortable in your own skin. While riding great success or learning from failure, have the security to not take yourself too seriously. When you have a confident, silent security, it can be contagious to those around you. Good leaders need confidence and certainty.

        Be Someone's Confidence= Many people we come across in life are insecure, and we want to help give them confidence. Being secure and confident in yourself is an asset in helping other people. When you can convey this to others, you can pass it on, and others can experience that security when they are around you, thus further growing and developing a solid relationship with them.

        How to Have Job Security (Part 1)
        https://youtu.be/CvqG5f-1wso
        This week, we begin a brand-new, two-part series on How to Have Job Security! This lesson is for two kinds of people: 
        1) People who want to be invaluable to their company
        2) Leaders who want to recruit invaluable people to their company
        If my math is correct, that’s everyone on this planet in the workforce. Especially during times of economic uncertainty, job security and having the right people on your team is at the top of many employees’ and leaders’ minds. 
        So, today, John Maxwell is going to teach exactly how to embrace these skills. Then, after John’s lesson, Chris Goede and Mark Cole will share how they apply these values at Maxwell Leadership and how you can do the same.

        After John’s lesson, Mark Cole will be joined by Chris Goede to wrap up this series by offering practical ways that you can apply John’s principles to your own life and leadership. This is not an episode you’ll want to miss!
