Leadership Landing

We’ve all heard about (and sometimes been victim to) the dreaded Monday blues. Here are some sureshot ways to combat the blues, and make your Monday, and the rest of your week, happy and productive.

Start softly and quietly
Allow yourself to wake up slowly
Get some water and stretch a little
Get outside if you can
Stay productive
Figure out a schedule that you can easily stay with
Jump in the shower early in the day
Get dressed (sweats are good, pants are better)
Eat well
Engage with what makes you happy and at peace

As Michael Ealy says, remember that Monday is also a new day and a new week, full of opportunities for something special to happen.

What’s your way of combating the Monday Blues?

After 13 years of increasing revenue and the bottom line for Leadership Landing, I decided to build out a program that would offer people what I could not find 13 years ago when I was just starting: A roadmap for success.

Leadership Landing for Trailblazers is just that- an 11 session, live - online program that lays out a roadmap and steps, on the journey to successfully build a coaching and consulting business of your own. There is a link to the program in the comments if you’re interested.

This is what Minette Norman Consulting, a transformational leadership consultant focused on inclusive workplaces, and a participant in the first cohort has to say about the program.

It’s easier to start a business where you have contacts and experience. The best way to start a coaching or a consulting business is to go where your expertise already is. If you have worked for 5 years in the technology sector, start by nurturing or leveraging contacts and leads in that sector. Practice in a niche where people know you have experience in. The people you approach will think that you’ll be a better choice as a coach rather than someone not experienced in the technology sector at all. Get some momentum first. You can always change your niche later on.
