As leaders, at the start of every week, we should look forward to seeking new ways to value people. A good way to value people can be by developing your charisma…

In March 2020, the world entered into a crisis which can only be described as un-precedented in most living people’s experience. COVID-19 sent the world into a panic, and hundreds of thousands of people around the world lost their lives. As we went into lockdown here in the United Kingdom, I made the conscious decision to use my time productively to help as many people as I could but first I realised that I needed more skills to deal with the problems put in front of me. It wasn’t going to be an easy task, I just needed some coaching, assistance and help to hone my skills developed over 35 years in business and community service to become better than I was.

When I was introduced to the personal development and personal wellness industry at age 24, my mentor Jim Rohn told me to get a library started. Now I have never been a great reader, but I listened to and trusted every word he said, after all he was one of the most influential people I had ever met. He said to me:

“Any home over $250,000 has a library started. Why do you think that is? Wouldn’t that make you curious? Does it tell you something? Does it educate you at all?” - Jim Rohn

It’s a well-known fact that MOST people struggle when they are faced with a crisis, and let’s not beat about the bush, the current world coronavirus pandemic is a crisis. But it is also a well-known fact that a small number of people in the world THRIVE when faced with the very SAME crisis. Now what’s the difference between these people?

My mentor Jim Rohn always said to me:

“It’s not what happens in the world that determines the major part of your future. What happens, happens to us all. The key is what you do about it.” - Jim Rohn
