So I invite you to embrace the power that you hold, no matter its capacity. Your power is significant. Take the opportunity to uplift others.

That I promise, because in the end we are all interconnected and by uplifting one another, we've rise together. Now that you've grasped the essence and vibe of what it means to claim the affirmation I will always use my power to uplift others. We're going to dive into some tangible examples of how you can embody this practice every day. you know it's so easy to lose sight of how we use our power at times. We may even find ourselves in negative cycles or misusing our influence due to exhaustion or just being desensitized. So by grounding ourselves and consciously stepping into this mindset and energy, you can transform the dynamics of your relationships with everyone you encounter every day. Embracing this practice will infuse you with energy and it will almost seem magical. Before I give you examples, how you can step into this every day. I want you to think about in your life when someone has used their power, whether it's in their authority and resources they had and wisdom to uplift you. What did that feel like? It's so powerful to remember and reflect on moments within your life, whether it was strangers, families, friends, or leaders, teachers, any experience that you've had where someone has used their power to uplift you. Lift you in some way, and it might've been a life changing for you. I have had so many examples of it. And that's truly why I'm so passionate about leading in that way, because I am so grateful for those who literally came out of nowhere and invited me to either an event to sit at their table, to join their organization and group, and who truly saw me Right. Who saw my heart made me feel included and valued. I'm just forever grateful for it. So we're going to step into some ways and how you can harness that and what you've maybe experienced or maybe want to experience. A lot of times. What we want, give it to people, right? So let's dive into some ways, everyday ways. We're going to start with random acts of kindness, which is basic, but man has power. Engage in random acts of kindness towards strangers or even those, you know, by either paying for someone's coffee in line behind you or holding the door for someone, giving a compliment or leaving encouraging notes in public places. These small gestures can truly brighten someone's day and create a ripple effect of positivity and remind them that there is kindness in the world. The next is expressing gratitude and encouragement. take the time to express genuine gratitude and encouragement to your family members and friends, acknowledge their efforts, achievements, and qualities that you truly admire. Whether it's a simple thank you in a text for their support or a heartfelt written out note of appreciation, showing gratitude is truly uplifting and can really strengthen your bond. Share positive messages, quotes, and affirmations on social media or in your daily interactions to uplift and inspire others, I cannot tell you how many times I'll just be feeling, maybe a little tired, a little. You know in my feelings or whatever it is and then someone will send me a message that is so positive and I'm like, Oh my gosh, that is so amazing. So then it shifts me instantly. So be that for others, encouraging words have such power to boost someone's morale, brighten their day, and just provide a much needed motivation. And the next practice active listening and offer emotional support to your friends and family whenever they need it. Most create a safe space for open communication and vulnerability without judgment hold space, By being present, empathetic and understanding, you can totally uplift them and it doesn't cost you anything, but just authentic time. You truly foster a sense of connection and trust and you're modeling that for them and they'll never forget that. And then when someone else is in need of that same, you know, active listening, emotional support, they'll know what it feels like and have that example because you were that and then they will provide that for someone else. The next is just quality time and shared activities. Never underestimate the power of quality time. So invest quality time in bonding with your family members through shared activities and experiences. Whether it's playing a board game together, going for a walk or enjoying a meal as a family or within a friend group, these moments of togetherness can uplift spirits and create lasting memories. By prioritizing quality time and creating opportunities for shared joy, you strengthen your family relationships and bonds and uplift each other's hearts all at the same time. And it's priceless. The next is inviting people out, reach out to someone, whether you know them or not, and invite them to join you for coffee, lunch, or a social gathering. By extending this invitation, you can create an opportunity for meaningful conversation, connection, and truly have the chance to build a new relationship or give someone an opportunity to experience a new environment that maybe they might have not otherwise. Because you help someone expand their network, you With a connection in something perhaps they need right now in their life. And it is so powerful. This simple gesture can not only make someone feel valued, included and seen, but it just fosters a sense of community and support. And there's such power in that. And it's so life changing. Along that is always remember to introduce yourself and make others feel included, especially in environments you're new to and don't feel included. And so instead of just standing and sitting in the corner and maybe wanting to like leave the room, Make yourself uncomfortable by making it comfortable. So if you notice someone looking lonely or not included in a group setting, take the initiative to introduce yourself, make them feel welcomed. Especially for maybe someone that you haven't seen in a long time or someone you have a story that they don't like you, or maybe you've had a weird falling out with them. Be the first to just get Be cool, right? Squash it, come up and just change the story. Change the vibe you have, take the initiative to either reintroduce, reconnect and be authentic. Like be yourself, you break down walls when you do that, right? Engage in a conversation, show genuine interest in getting to know them include them in the ongoing activities or discussions. By reaching out and making an effort to connect, you truly uplift other spirits in your own, And you create a sense of belonging within that space. The next is offer opportunities So within your personal professional circles, uplift others by giving them a chance to shine or connecting them with valuable opportunities, whether it's. Recommending a family member for a job opening or mentoring a colleague within your organization, you have the power to uplift and impact others by providing them. With opportunities for growth, learning, and advancement by being a catalyst for their success, you contribute to their personal and professional development, creating a positive impact that extends beyond the individual now I'm going to go into some specific examples of how you can use your power. If you are a leader within an organization, a company and business. as A leader, make it a point to recognize and celebrate the achievements and milestones of your team members, acknowledge their hard work, dedication and contribution publicly, whether through a team meeting, email, or a dedicated recognition program. By shining a spotlight on their accomplishments, you uplift their morale, boost the morale of the organization or group.

Support the growth and development of your team members by providing opportunities of learning, skill building, and career advancements. Offer mentorship, uh, training programs, resources that empower them to enhance their skills and expand their knowledge. Also, I invite you to, within this capacity, Go back and revisit maybe some soft skills. A lot of times we think it's automatic or common sense, but sometimes people actually need to be just directed and have the clear expectations or clear examples of how to show up powerfully in an email or Within social settings, meetings offering mentorship and training programs and resources that empower them to enhance their skills and expand their knowledge going back in retraining and basic skills, you know, Microsoft word, Excel, all of that. Sometimes we do need a refresher, right? And that just creates true confidence and how people show up, by investing in their professional development, you uplift their potential and cultivate a culture of continuous learning and demonstrate your commitment to their growth within the organization. Create a positive and inclusive work environment. Where all team members feel valued, respected, and heard. Encourage open communication. Collaboration and just diverse perspectives within your organization, by creating a culture of inclusivity, empathy, and just mutual support and respect, you truly uplift the overall wellbeing and engagement of your team members, leading to increased productivity, creativity, and true job satisfaction, And shut down toxic behaviors make it known that this is a workplace where there's no clicks, there's no gossip and we're not problem based. We're not complainers. We're not negative. If there's an issue, we are solution based. We are going to come at it with support, love, and we're going to just know how to do better overall. By implementing these leadership practices within your organization or business, you create a supportive and empowering environment where team members will feel inspired, motivated, and most importantly, appreciated.
