Personal Leadership
Having a guide is great, but when it comes down to it you are personally responsible for your own life. It's your choices, your actions, and your direction-setting that are going to have the biggest impact on where you end up.
Now, that thought may be daunting, or exciting, to you! It's a big responsibility, but it's one we can all learn to manage better.
Personal Leadership is all about learning to lead yourself well. That can involve how you make decisions, where you focus your time and attention, and how you manage your own needs and reactions to difficult situations. Here's some aspects of good Personal Leadership and how hoozyu can help you:
Understanding Who You Are
If you are leading a group of people it is really helpful to understand who they are — what their strengths and interests are, how to help them work at their best, the things that might cause them stress, and where they best fit. The same is true when leading yourself!
Understanding these same things about yourself can help you make sure you are leading yourself in the right direction, and that you're not going to get burnt out in the process.
Making Decisions
Ever wished you had some kind of data to help you make big life decisions? Your hoozyu report gives you just that.
Whether you're trying to figure out what course to take, what career to pursue, or how to stay energised while you put in the work to get there, hoozyu can help you make better decisions and avoid the ones that might hold hidden pitfalls for you.
​
It's not magic. We're just helping you see what's true for you — even if that differs from your friends / siblings / parents etc.
Managing Needs and Stress
A key element of good Personal Leadership is learning to manage your own expectations and reactions. We all have preferences for how we want others to interact with us, the kind of environment we want to work in, the kind of boss we want to work with, and so on.
There's nothing wrong with having these preferences! But there will always be times when what we prefer and expect is not what we experience. How we handle those situations can decide whether we keep moving forward or wind up stuck.
​
hoozyu helps you understand the areas where you may be prone to tripping yourself up, or reacting in a way that does more damage than good, and provides you with suggestions for managing your response in those moments.
Taking Responsibility
Responsibility can feel like an ugly word sometimes. Maybe it's something you love being given, or maybe it's something you actively try to avoid! Either way, none of us can escape from the reality of personal responsibility: for our lives, for our choices, and for our future.
​
That doesn't have to be a scary thought. Instead you can see it as an opportunity. Where do you want your life to be heading? Because it won't get there without some steering on your part...
Setting Goals and Focus
Setting goals isn't just for the high achievers in the room. There are things you want to do with your life, and understanding who you are and what makes you tick can help you set, and work towards, goals that will actually work for you.
​
What motivates you? What things make you excited to wake up in the morning? When your goals really line up with who you are, and what you want to work towards, it won't feel like such a battle to push through challenges. You'll find focus comes more easily when you're working with, not against, your personality.
Self-Development
Self-development is a life-long process of making improvements and adjustments to yourself, so that you can achieve and enjoy a more fulfilling life. It can include things like learning new skills or pursuing qualifications and experience, but it can also include working on your own mindset, developing greater patience or resilience, overcoming limitations and adjusting your learnt response to challenging circumstances.
​
Working on yourself is a key aspect of Personal Leadership, and it starts with the recognition that "I might need to change some things in order to get to where I want to be".​
​
hoozyu can help you identify the areas where your personality traits can aid your goals and purpose, and where you might have blindspots that need more support.
