A message to all high achievers and LEADERS! As I've worked with leaders and people in general for over 25 years, I've discovered many people are very hard on themselves. Many high achievers tend to be highly self-critical. These are the leaders and managers within organizations that are the high-performing employees throughout the company. Here's the problem: no matter how much 'self-improvement' you make, it only partially satisfies your highest ambitions of happiness and leadership effectiveness.

In this video clip, I share the balance between self-acceptance (liking yourself) and self-improvement while presenting my comprehensive Leadership Academy workshop. The key is getting these two traits balanced correctly. If you tend to be hard on yourself, I get it. That pattern drives you. Being 'self-critical' motivates you but will also lead to dissatisfaction and unfulfillment. Listen to my simple reminder to let go of the junk in your life and affirm your worth and potential. #LeadershipAcademy #Leadership #SelfEsteem #Happiness

Highlights:

• Breaking the Self-sabotaging Cycle: We delve deep into the insights from Gary’s previous bestsellers such as 'Unfu*k Yourself' and 'Stop Doing that Sh*t,’ and discuss how to break free from self-sabotaging behaviors, not just as individuals but as parents.
• The Journey to Becoming a Whole Person: Parenting isn’t just about raising children; it's equally about our evolution as individuals and generations of the past. Gary emphasizes the importance of personal wholeness, stating that a whole parent inevitably leads to a more holistic upbringing.
• Respect and Relationships: The conversation took a turn towards building lasting bonds with our children. Gary believes that to garner respect from our children, we must provide three principles.
• Cutting Through the Parenting Nonsense: With a myriad of parenting advice available today, called heirlooms. Gary's 'no-BS' approach is refreshing. He emphasized that much of the common parenting wisdom falls short, leaving kids struggling. Through his book, he offers pragmatic strategies to become the parents our kids genuinely deserve.
• No-BS Self-help Shelf: Interestingly, while the 'no-BS self-help' genre is abundant with authors providing insights into personal development, Gary is one of the pioneers in applying this candid approach to parenting. It’s uncharted territory that he confidently navigates.

Gary John Bishop has consistently demonstrated his commitment to pushing boundaries in the self-help realm. His perspective on parenting is not just about nurturing our children, but also about nurturing ourselves. As we wrapped up our chat, it was evident that his message is vital for every parent: To give the best of ourselves to our children, we must first understand and embrace our true selves.
