How to Be a Servant Leader Through Authentic Leadership (featuring John Powers, PhD)
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” — Mahatma Gandhi
Let’s now get into ways you can really make a long-lasting impact, leave your mark, and reach your Mountaintop. While you are thinking about where you want to be three to five years from now and beyond, you also need to be fully in the present moment and embracing the resources you have available NOW.
While there are certainly going to be ups and downs along the way, progress and setbacks, you can learn to funnel unwanted situations into something bigger and better. I use the dysfunction I experienced in the past as a way to help high school and college students around the world. What difficult circumstance have you been through that you can use for added motivation to reach your Mountaintop?
One of the goals of this post is, in some way, to flip on its head what you’ve heard about success in the past. Reaching your Mountaintop is not about trying to impress and please others. It’s not about worrying what others think. It’s not about fitting into society’s standards. It’s about being your quintessential, authentic self in each and every moment by seeking to serve and help others.
