This month in eLeaderHUB, we're talking about trust. Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, believes that a lack of trust works like a hidden tax on every transaction within an organization, increasing the time it takes to get something done threefold. On the contrary, in the presence of genuine trust, there is a dividend paid on each transaction, enabling the organization to succeed more—and with more ease and speed.

At eLeadership Academy, we teach leaders to use their head, heart, and backbone. All three are important in different ways. Leading with your head fosters brain-health, focus, learning, agility, and vision. Leading with your heart fosters belonging, hope, trust, teamwork, and growth. And leading with backbone helps you foster accountability and performance.

Mistakes have power. That power can make you feel bad and stuck, or it can propel you and your team forward. Every mistake is really just a learning opportunity in disguise. The next time you or someone on your team makes a mistake, let go of the usual fear and shame, and instead let it lead you to new insights, innovations, and inspiration.

This is your gentle reminder to delegate responsibility to others. While it might seem to be heroic or more expedient to do everything yourself, you are actually robbing your team of valuable opportunities, and putting your own mental health at risk. If you’re the type who tends to take on too much, step back and give others a chance to be the hero today. #selfcare #Leadership #delegate #responsibility

Many leaders don't realize just how great of an effect their nutritional choices can have on the brain. Science tells us that eating well affects the brain at a molecular level, meaning that—in the simplest form—what we put in our systems has a direct influence on our functioning. Try boosting your servings of fresh fruits, vegetables, and high-fiber whole grains for a week and see what a difference it makes. #Leadership #Food #Healthy #Brain

In today’s eLeaderHUB live webinar, we were thrilled to be joined by our vibrant eLeaderHUB community, co-hosts Sandra McDowell from eLeadership Academy, Mike Lawson of CU Broadcast, and our two fantastic spotlight speakers, Emma Levez Larocque and Terri Cramb, to explore the critical topic of BRAIN HEALTH.   As leaders, our ability to think clearly and effectively is paramount, but how do we optimize our brain health to ensure peak performance, longevity, and overall well-being? Emma and Terri provided us with invaluable insights on how to fuel and move our bodies to support our brains.   Here are some key takeaways from today’s session: - Gut health is brain health: A healthy gut directly contributes to a healthy brain. - Movement is vital: Our bodies are meant to move. Movement boosts blood flow, delivering more oxygen to the brain and improving sleep quality. - Protect your brain: Regular movement and a balanced diet can help guard against neurodegenerative diseases. - Learn from the Blue Zones: These regions, known for their longevity, emphasize whole, plant-based diets, movement, sleep, and strong community ties. - Keep moving: Aim to move every 30-60 minutes. Start small—stretch, take the stairs, and keep it manageable. - Listen to your body: Do what feels good, and consider eating your largest meal midday. And most importantly, hydrate! - Small steps, big impact: Implementing these habits takes planning and prioritization. Focus on progress over perfection, and remember, consistency is key. - Eat the rainbow: A colorful plate means a nutrient-rich diet. - Prioritize yourself: This is a journey, not a destination—keep focusing on what feels good and makes you thrive. A huge thank you to Emma and Terri for their expert advice and to our eLeaderHUB community for engaging in this important conversation. We look forward to our next session, where we'll delve into the topic of TRUST!
