Recognizing the need to be diplomatic in all that you do, especially when it comes to leading others, in this episode, David dives deeper into what it takes to for you to become diplomatic and being less reactionary when it comes to leading others versus managing others.

Being Diplomatic is a lot of work but in the end it does make a difference. It makes a difference to you, to those you are currently leading and to those you will lead in the future.

Self-Leadership - MAKING THE JUMP FROM AMATEUR TO PROFESSIONAL - Being Diplomatic

Welcome to Episode 255 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David G. Guerra.

In this episode, David continues the 2023 SELF-LEADERSHIP initiative: MAKING THE JUMP FROM AMATEUR TO PROFESSIONAL.

In this new series, David shares with you the second chapter served in two parts: BEING DIPLOMATIC (part 1).

Diplomacy is what makes change happen. Being diplomatic is what greases the wheels of progress. Then again, diplomacy can also hinder progress. By having the skill set to be diplomatic, you as a leader, will go far. It is when you cannot be diplomatic that you will truly never be a leader. 

At most, you can be a bad manager but anyone refuses to be diplomatic is the moment that individual has failed to attain any level of leadership. By lacking the diplomacy, the individual find themselves at the extreme ends of the poles of leadership. Either they become bullies or they become submissive. Both are NOT what being a leader is about. Recognizing that diplomacy is needed in all situations that any leader at any level will find themselves in.

Self Leadership – Making The Jump From Amateur to Professional - Introduction

Welcome to Episode 252 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David G. Guerra.

In episode 252, David introduces listeners to his 2023 SELF-LEADERSHIP initiative: MAKING THE JUMP FROM AMATEUR TO PROFESSIONAL.

In this new series, David shares with you his take on making the move from an Amateur Mindset individual to a Professional Mindset Individual. 

There comes a time in everyone's life when they say enough is enough and know that the only way to keep the past where it belongs (in the past) is to make a major mindset change. To elevate themselves to a higher level of being, existing, and most of all, living and that is to push through a necessary change in their life. 

By beginning to recognize change in vocation, location, or need must be made, then the transition from an Amateur to a Professional becomes part of our lives. This series is based on my observations and some of my life experiences that drive the change from Amateur to Professional. 

Please note, that we are going to take most of 2023 to complete this series. However, by the end I do hope you will see the value on making the change but also in knowing that the process, from beginning to end will involve lots and lots of hard work. When it comes to work either you are willing to put in all it takes or you are perfectly happy staying right where you are. If you are happy being stagnant then this podcast series is not for you.

However, when enough is enough then and only then are you ready to proceed with not only changing your mindset but your personal and professional life, as well. 

Thus, David asks, "Are you ready to put in the work to make the much needed change in your life?" If the answer is YES, then let's use 2023 as the time to take that journey to move beyond and up.

While on your journey do not forget to CREATE WIN-WIN situations in all that you do. Start Strong! Stay Strong! Finish Strong! Be Strong!

And as always, I remind you to GO BEYOND THE GRIND and GO BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER AND A LEADER THAT IS GREAT TO FOLLOW.

I invite you to take about 15 minutes and listen to the Episode 252 of the Walking Leader Podcast. Enjoy!
