Holding Yourself to a Standard Higher Than Your Excuses

One of the hallmarks of true leadership is the ability to hold yourself to a higher standard, even when no one else is watching. But what happens when excuses begin to creep in, keeping us within the bounds of what’s comfortable?

Excuses are seductive—they offer immediate comfort, but over time, they limit growth. Setting high standards for ourselves, no matter the challenge, strengthens our integrity and resilience, inspiring our teams to do the same.

How to Recognize and Rise Above Excuses

1. Identify Your Excuses
Recognize the moments when you lean on “I’m too busy,” “It’s too difficult,” or “It’s not the right time.” Awareness of these patterns is essential for moving past them.

2. Own Your Commitments
True accountability means sticking to the standards you set. When you commit, commit fully. This builds trust within your team and sets a powerful example.

3. Choose Growth Over Comfort
Growth rarely happens within our comfort zones. Set a higher standard by challenging yourself to do what’s hard, uncomfortable, or uncertain. Each time you do, you’re strengthening your resolve and building resilience.

Over to you now. What standards do you set for yourself, and where are excuses still holding you back?

Let’s Set the Bar Higher

Excuses may bring comfort, but they don’t bring growth. Leaders who set high standards inspire those around them to raise their own. Let’s commit to going beyond excuses and striving for excellence in every action.

Steering the Ship in a Storm: Leading When Expectations are High, and Resources are Low

As leaders, we’ve all been there: the vision is huge, the expectations are sky-high, but the resources are minimal. It can feel like you’re steering a ship through a storm with no compass.

But here’s the truth—great leaders thrive in these moments, not because they have all the answers, but because they know how to shift their mindset and focus on what matters most.

Here’s how you can lead with confidence and deliver impact, even when the odds are stacked against you:

1. Mindset Shift #1: Focus on Possibility, Not Lack

Instead of getting frustrated by what’s missing, look at what you do have. Get creative with your resources and empower your team to innovate. Constraints often lead to the best breakthroughs.

2. Mindset Shift #2: Embrace Small Wins

When you’re up against a mountain of expectations, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Break the big goal into smaller, achievable milestones. Celebrate those wins—they build momentum and keep your team energized.

3. Mindset Shift #3: Communicate Honestly and Often

High expectations + low resources = stress for everyone. Create transparency by communicating openly with your team. Let them know the challenges, but more importantly, engage them in solutions. Collaboration can turn challenges into opportunities.

4. Mindset Shift #4: Lead with Vision, Execute with Grit

Keep your eyes on the horizon, but stay grounded in the present. Inspire your team by sharing the bigger picture while tackling today’s challenges with resilience and determination. Vision without action is just a dream.

Over to you now. How can you lead your team to success with what you already have? What small win can you celebrate today to keep the momentum going?

Share one creative way you’ve navigated high-pressure situations with limited resources. Let’s inspire each other with new ways to thrive in challenging times!

Embracing Change

As I go through a period of extreme change across several domains in my life, I am reminded of this quote: “Change is the only constant” by Heraclitus.

This quote encapsulates the essence of change, highlighting its inevitability in life. It reminds me that change is a natural and fundamental part of our existence. No matter how resistant we may be, change will always find its way into our lives.

No matter how experienced I may be when it comes to change, this quote is impactful because it serves as a powerful reminder that we must embrace and adapt to change rather than fear or resist it. With so much uncertainty about the future, it encourages me to let go of my attachment to the familiar and embrace the opportunities that change brings.

I hope this quote inspires you too because no matter how scary change may be, it can also be a catalyst for growth, progress, and transformation. Change opens doors to new possibilities and experiences that can enrich our lives. By accepting and embracing change, we can unlock our true potential and navigate the ever-evolving world with resilience and grace.

As a global citizen for the last 27 years, I’ve lived through enough change to know that change is not something to be feared or avoided, but rather a force that propels us forward on our journey of personal and collective evolution. Let’s embrace change as an integral part of life and to approach it with curiosity, adaptability, and a mindset of growth. The results could be well worth putting ourselves through the discomfort of venturing into the unknown.

To your success,
Isabel
