R.O.G. Takeaway Tips:
- What do you think? Meaning what is your bigger purpose, your “why”, your values and beliefs.
- What do you do? What are the actions you take, things you prioritize that honor what you think.
- What do you say? Take a scroll and audit your posts, tweets and articles. Hear the words you use when communicating with others. Do they echo your purpose and express it in meaningful ways?
This week, invest some quality time considering what you believe. With respect to that belief – what actions are congruent and activated? Lastly, think about the messages you share, the stories you tell and the impact you make with your words. It matters. Trust matters. You matter.
