As you start with the LEAD3 framework, picture a future where your thinking grows, your skills get stronger, and your toolkit becomes sharper. Notice something common among those who really do well in life and lead themselves effectively? They've got a special mix of the right way of thinking, skills, and tools that makes them stand out. I call it the LEAD3 framework.

This LEAD3 thing is like a three-part toolkit. We don't just use it; we make it work just for you, in a way that feels real and true to who you are. It's a step-by-step thing where your big goals fit into a plan that keeps you moving forward and getting better.

Once you get the hang of using this toolkit, your growth is more about when than if—it's not luck anymore. So, if you're up for growing all the time, getting better, and really wanting to do well, then it's time to pay attention. Tune in, and let's get you on the track to keep growing.

Broaden your mindset

Your mindset is like the glasses you wear to see and understand the world. It guides what you do. Here's a blunt truth: no amount of hard work can fix a mindset that's holding you back.

So, a big step for you is to make your mindset aware of more things, to broaden it. Think of it like climbing a ladder—from just knowing stuff to growing personally, becoming a leader who serves others, all the way to making big leaps in how you develop.

If you want to be really good at things, you've got to have a growth mindset. That means believing you can learn and get better at any skill.

Here's what you should keep in your mind and do:

1. Work Hard to Master Things: Getting really good at something takes a lot of effort. Be ready to work hard.

2. Mistakes Help You Learn: Mistakes aren't bad; they're just things you can learn from. Each mistake is like a step forward.

3. Don't Avoid Challenges; They Make You Grow: If something feels hard or uncomfortable, that's okay. It means you're growing. Ask for advice, too—it's like having a guide on your journey to getting better.

Remember, how you think sets the path for what you do. So, open up your mind, and you'll open up new roads to success.

Optimize and deepen your skills

In your professional journey, your strength thrives when you focus on developing and mastering your skills. Job titles and promotions might sound good, but they don't mean much without the right skills for success in your role.

The connection between strength and skill is solid. Your career success doesn't just come from titles; it comes from working hard to improve and expand your skills.

Improving your skills is more than just about making money. As you get better at what you do by learning and growing your abilities, you start seeing life as an opportunity to pick up new skills, not just a way to make money.

A timeless truth echoes through the ages: skills are what pays the bills. This truth becomes your guide, steering your attention towards learning new skills and putting yourself in places where you can get even better at them.

The secret to great results lies in making your skills the best they can be. When your skills shine, you attract the right opportunities to move forward on your journey.

Here is a simple guide to improving your skills:

• Practice with Purpose: Work on your skills deliberately. Break them down into smaller parts and focus on getting better at each part one step at a time.

• Keep Learning: Stay curious and keep learning. Attend workshops, read things that help you in your work, and use online resources to stay updated. Knowledge is the foundation for your skills.

• Listen to Feedback: Ask for feedback from people you trust – mentors, colleagues, or even yourself. Use criticism as a way to get better. Adjust how you do things based on what you learn, and keep making your skills better over time.

Refine your toolset

In your career journey, think of a toolbelt as a trusty sidekick. But this isn't just any belt—it's a collection of the skills and ways of thinking you've picked up along the way, like a pro builder's toolkit. As you fine-tune how you think and what you can do, this toolbelt turns into a guide, helping you choose the right tools for whatever job you're facing.

With each experience, you figure out which tools are must-haves for success. It's a bit like a journey of discovering more about yourself while you grow in your job. This toolkit isn't a one-size-fits-all deal; it's a special set made just for you, considering what you're good at and where you might need some help.

Practical Steps:

1. Self-Check and Tune-Up: Take some time now and then to look at how you think and what you can do. Which tools worked well for you before? Find out what you're good at and what might need a bit of improvement, then adjust your toolkit accordingly.

2. Keep Learning: Stay updated on new tools and ways of doing things in your field. Go to workshops, read stuff that helps you in your work, and try to learn new things that can make your toolkit more advanced.

3. Be Flexible: Understand that your toolkit can change. Be open to adding new tools as your career changes. Think of your toolkit like a living thing—it needs tweaking now and then to match up with what makes you uniquely good at what you do.

As you start with the LEAD3 framework, picture a future where your thinking grows, your skills get stronger, and your toolkit becomes sharper.

Think of every task guided by smart thinking, backed by practiced skills, and executed with a well-prepared toolkit. Let your path be planned, not left to chance.

Wishing you strength for challenges, unwavering effort in getting better, and the smarts to keep improving your toolkit. May your journey be full of learning, growth, and success.
