Right-side Up Leadership Podcast

If you find yourself overwhelmed it turns out you’re normal, but you can’t stay there. Our culture seems to be stumbling drunk from a strange concoction of insecurity, overwork and boredom. If we don’t learn how to resist this we’ll fall in either the ditch of overwhelm or underwhelm. Without knowing it I think we’re all asking a core but silent question deep in our hearts, “How do I get whelmed?”  Level your leadership in 2022 Right Side Up Collective Right Side Up Community Purchase a Right Side Up Journal Schedule your FREE breakthrough coaching session Invest in your leadership by joining free Right Side Up Community

Scripture is clear that who we are matters more than what we do (but, of course, what we do should begin to align with who we are). Ephesians says we are God’s workmanship (think poem, song, painting) before we have work to do. Jesus describes a healthy tree that bears healthy fruit because it has healthy roots. Our identity as daughters and sons is more important than our impact as leaders.  Level your leadership in 2022 Right Side Up Collective Right Side Up Community Purchase a Right Side Up Journal Schedule your FREE breakthrough coaching session Invest in your leadership by joining free Right Side Up Community  

On today's episode Alan has a great conversation speaker, author, and entrepreneur, Lathan Craft about his story, and passion to help people find meaning in the messiest seasons of life.   About Lathan At Lathan Craft, we know that you want to live a life of meaning. In order to do that, you need a way to help navigate the mess that life can throw your way. The problem is sometimes it’s too hard to pick your head up enough to breathe, let alone see a way forward. All in all, it’s far too easy to feel trapped and insignificant. I believe you should have a chance to find deep and fruitful meaning in your life. I get it, I’ve lived a life of mess and confusion before. I knew a change had to happen which is why for the last # of years I’ve built pathways for others to find their own sense of meaning.

Here’s a morbid question; how many ideas are buried in your local graveyard? Some of the best ideas, potentially life-changing ideas, die with people. Why? Fear kept them buried inside. Fear convinces us we should never start. It whispers to us, “Who are you to do THIS? What right do you have? Would anyone even care about this?” It paralyzes us into indecision and procrastination. If you’re waiting for the perfect time or the perfect draft you’ll never start your big idea.

Leaders must create filters for what they let in and what they let out. This includes content we ingest, travel opportunities, tasks we accept and regular meetings. The best way to get your life back is to revisit your priorities and make decisions based on them. You will disappoint people eventually, I recommend doing it proactively. Good opportunities are everywhere, and are blocking you from amazing opportunities down the road.  Level your leadership in 2022 Right Side Up Community Purchase a Right Side Up Journal Schedule your FREE breakthrough coaching session Invest in your leadership by joining free Right Side Up Community

You pop out of bed on Monday feeling frantic. You’re ten minutes behind because you hit snooze and the anxiety is pumping through your veins. The week ahead is looming over you. You scroll through your emails, pop into Instagram and scramble to pick out your clothes. You pull the kids out of bed and race around the kitchen helping them pack their lunches. After all the chaos at home you get to the office ten minutes late. You’re behind. Again. Resource to consult We designed the Right Side up Journal to help you make the shift from reactive life and leadership to proactive life and leadership. We created a short tutorial video and long tutorial video to help you best utilize this.   Questions to answer What micro decisions can you look ahead and make proactively every day? What larger decisions are approaching that you can make now? What tool/s will help you plan ahead? (Of course, we recommend the Right Side up Journal, and this is exactly why we created it)   Level your leadership in 2022 Purchase

What do you do when you don’t know what to do? The answer is a little different for all of us, but when we don’t know what to do most forward-thinking leaders just do something. Start something. Work on something. Read something. Get busy doing something. It seems our culture is completing wrapped up in busyness, and I believe much of that stems from a lack of clarity.  Activity is not the some as productivity. We need to figure out what the right things are. That is effectiveness; discerning and doing the right things. That is completely different from doing all the things. The efficiency of doing all the things without focusing on effectiveness to do the right things will only lead to overwhelm, burnout and futility.   I heard a quote many years ago that haunts me; Unsure of our direction we double our speed. While we all get paralysis from time to time many of us leaders have the bad habit of going faster when we don’t know where we’re doing. When we do this we are leading from insecurity. Eugene Peters
