Cultivate self-awareness to make the best strategic decisions for you.

• Clarify your north star: If Activate were wildly successful for you, how would you be living and leading differently?

• Calibrate your compass: You will tune into your Body Compass to gain awareness of how you actually feel in different situations, instead of how you think you should feel. Tuning into you for answers is critical for making decisions with more confidence and staying aligned towards your north star.

• Catalyze your strengths: When you operate in your strengths, you are significantly more engaged in your work, and you maximize the impact you can create. You will take the Clifton Strength’s assessment, review the results 1-on-1 with Isabel, and create a plan for orienting your current work day toward your gifts.

Learn to navigate the messiness of life and show up anyway.

• Tell the truth: Being consistently honest (especially when it’s hard) is the foundation of self-trust and real connection with other people. Truth is what propels organizations forward, creates more innovative products, and more self-aware leaders. This is how we loosen the grip of people-pleasing tendencies.

• Claim yours: Taking responsibility for our commitments and asking other people to do the same builds trust. When we let each other down, we must have the courage to talk about it, without blame, if we are going to maintain the connection AND learn and grow together.

• Share your magic: Letting go of perfectionism and allowing ourselves the joy of experimentation is what gives us a chance at creating magic. We have to be brave enough to share it and not make ourselves small for others to feel big.

Create a life that flows with you instead of against you.

• Nurture yourself: We all need time and space for rest, community, play, and nature. By intentionally plugging into sources that nourish you, you will recharge your energy and work more sustainably. You will also improve your overall quality of life.

• Protect your focus: Daydreaming, imagination, and creativity all come from allowing our brains to wander. Our current relationships with technology and the way we structure work undermine our ability to access our own creativity and productivity flows. Through time and energy audits we will gain awareness of when you do your best work and redesign your schedule around enabling you to focus.

• Prioritize meaning: Our American work culture has prioritized efficiency, often at the expense of our humanity. We believe teams that operate with excellence and joy lead to the best outcomes and allows us to feel purpose and meaning in our work. Learn what makes work meaningful to you, and how you can be a leader that can help make work meaningful for others.
