Summary
The holiday season is a great opportunity to take a moment and reflect upon our past year. It’s a great chance to take inventory of our goals, what we achieved toward them and the areas we still need to learn and improve in. It’s the perfect time to decide upon the next steps in our journey to becoming who we should really be.
On today’s episode, Cody Dakota, one of my first guests on this show, comes back to share with us more of his amazing positive leadership thinking, especially around the holiday season. He gives us insights into his self-motivating methods and talks about the essential first step that anyone should take, in order to achieve their goals.
Cody Dakota Wooten is the founder of the Leadership Guide and host of the Emerge Leadership Connection podcast and TV Show on Entrepreneurs TV Network. He is a Heroic and Potential Legendary Leadership Coach, certified with the John Maxwell team, as well as the HeartMath Institute. He's also a member of the Forbes Leadership Councils and was a finalist for the extraordinary award for Coaches with Ideas that can change people, businesses and the future for the being.
So, listen to Episode 20 of Rejuvenaging, to get a fresh, positive perspective on the importance of asking yourself “Who am I?” This applies to everyone, regardless of their age, because it’s never too late to follow your dreams.
Questions I ask:
- What are you up to? What new certifications have you had? What new things are you doing in your work? (03:32)
- What are some of the obstacles that you might overcome in the Spartan races? (04:44)
- What gets you so motivated? (07:06)
- Do you have any particular rituals or ways of closing out the year and looking forward to the next? (20:11)
- How does somebody go from wanting to be a leader to taking concrete steps to become one? (31:08)
In this episode, you will learn:
- Questioning “Who am I?” can give you a clear perspective on what your actual goals are. (09:00)
- The power of introspection – start by asking yourself whether the society’s trademarks for success are true for you. (13:13)
- An example of how the lessons – good or bad - that we learn in our journey of achieving our goals, have the potential to completely change our lives for the better. (22:41)
- Cody’s advice for people that feel down this holiday season. (24:57)
- An example of how turning a negative thought into a positive one can open new doors. (27:50)
