Self Esteem

I was in Singapore this month. It was hot, humid, very green and flowery and the people were friendly and efficient.

I completed a seven-day intensive called "Authentic Sales and Leadership Mastery Program". By day four, insights were hitting me like tsunamis. The biggest A-HA of all hit me on the last day of the course and I'm still assimilating it. The lesson was all about self-esteem, and my lack of it. And more importantly, how my low self-esteem impacts the people around me. I won't get into the details, but I let my team down and people got hurt, all because of my low self-esteem. As a leader, I have to believe in my team members more than they believe in themselves. I can't do that with low self-esteem.

This is one big lesson for me.

I'm down to 10 mgs of prozac a day (from 60) and feeling fine. Yeahh!

Lots of love,
Tosh
