In this episode of The Leadership Toolkit podcast, Mike Phillips interviews the incredible Laura Barnes! Laura is a Meta Performance Executive Coach known for unleashing her clients leadership potential. We discuss her transformative approach to helping clients tap into their dreams and create actionable strategies to achieve them. She combines vision, mindset, and strategy, to cut through the noise and distractions, empowering individuals to get out of their own way and level up in life. Her leadership philosophy begins with leading yourself, setting the tone and vision for those around you.
Leadership is synonymous with vision. Laura pointedly observes a vision without strategy is like a broken GPS on a road tri – directionless. The real magic happens at the intersection of vision, mindset, and strategy. Herein lies the crux of leadership that not only envisages but achieves.
I really got a lot of great insights in this conversation. Here are a few that I took notes on:
Key Takeaways
1️⃣ Vision is Leadership’s North Star: Cement your leadership path with a clear, impassioned vision that goes beyond the superficial layers to harness authentic motivation.
2️⃣ Service is at Leadership’s Core: Root your leadership style in genuine service and create supports that elevate others to new heights.
3️⃣ Resilience through Adaptation: Embrace the detours as part of your leadership journey. Unexpected turns often lead to uncharted avenues of achievement.
4️⃣ Emphasize Action in Leadership Development: Craft strategies that move beyond planning into the tangible attainment of goals.
5️⃣ Leverage Outsourcing: Let go of task hoarding. Trust that others can handle operational needs, freeing you up to make significant strides toward your leadership vision.
