3 Droplets of Leadership

How to Be a Good Mentee

For modern entrepreneurs, self-improvement is an ongoing journey. Staying abreast of the most up-to-date trends and technologies in the rapidly-evolving digital age can be challenging.

Working with a knowledgeable mentor in your industry can help develop a strong relationship and increase your understanding of the field. Developing the skills to be a good mentee is essential for acquiring mentors' knowledge and guidance.

Here is a great article on how to be a great mentee.

Speaking of mentorship programs, I recently launched my very own Executive Stewardship Program. It’s the ultimate solution for first-time managers and leaders facing difficult challenges and needing direct support over time.

I’m almost fully booked, as I only have availability for four clients at a time. I still have one vacant spot, and if you are looking for support, schedule your discovery call with me.

If it clicks between us, I’ll be happy to help you!

If it does not click, no hard feelings, and I’ll be happy to refer you to other great coaches in my network. No risk guarantee!

How Your Physical Surroundings Shape Your Work Life

Workplaces are more than just a backdrop for our work activities; they are essential to our professional identities. Our identities become intertwined as we accumulate milestones, memories, and life-shaping experiences in our workplaces. Our workplaces reflect and shape who we are, who we are, and who we aspire to be as workers.

Places shape us, and we shape them in return, as they can meet our needs for a "home", belonging, learning, and growth and provide us with a sense of continuity and coherence about our identity. Through this process, our sense of self becomes intertwined with our working contexts, and our workplaces become a part of our identity.

Action Bias

The action bias is a phenomenon whereby we often prefer to take action instead of remaining inactive, even when there is no evidence that it will lead to a more favorable outcome. Despite a lack of rationale, this tendency to automatically react with action has been called “action bias”.

Check out this article about “action bias”.

I also recently posted a video on TikTok about this very topic. Check it out!

@lucaleadershipsenpaiSometimes you just have to stop. As humans we are biased towards action, but sometimes the best drcision is to stop, wait, and let things sort out by themselves. #inspirational #realtalk #leadership #business #coaching #management #growth #startup

An explicit disagreement is better than an implicit misunderstanding.
