Ep 306: Leading From Within: Becoming the CSO of Your Life

It's Your Time

In this episode, host Michelle Bourque discusses the concept of being the "Chief Self Officer" (CSO) of your own life. Drawing inspiration from her experience at the Women in Leadership Conference, Michelle emphasizes that leadership is not limited to titles - it's about leading with influence, impact, and authority in all aspects of your life.

Key Takeaways:

• Develop a mindset of personal leadership by taking charge of managing your own life with strategic focus, just like a CEO runs a company.
• Continuously redefine your goals and success to align with your changing values and circumstances.
• Prioritize long-term goal fulfillment over short-term impulses through intentional decision-making about your time, energy, and resources.
• Implement time blocking to hold yourself accountable and ensure you're taking actions that move you towards your objectives.
• Treat self-care as a non-negotiable, and start small if needed - the key is to make it a consistent habit.
• Build a network of mentors, allies, and supportive relationships to foster growth and collaboration, just as a CEO builds a network for organizational success.
• Focus on making waves, not just creating ripples - small, intentional actions can lead to significant changes in your life.

By embracing the role of CSO, you can live with greater agency, resilience, and fulfillment, benefiting not only yourself but also those around you. Start taking small, daily steps towards becoming the leader of your own life.
