In honor of President’s Day, I am going to discuss two former U.S. President’s, Washington and Lincoln, and according to history they were two of the greatest known leaders. Let’s find out why!
Washington’s leadership style:
George Washington had the gift of silence. He knew when to speak and when not to engage in conversation with those who didn’t appreciate him or what he did. He had dignity, integrity and didn’t complain. He gathered information quickly before making important decisions. Washington set aside his differences and resolved disputes by focusing on the goal. He was known for giving basic directions to his commanders and let them make their own strategic decisions.
Quotes from George Washington:
Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all. ~ George Washington
Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience. ~ George Washington
It is better to be alone than in bad company. ~ George Washington
Lincoln’s leadership style:
Lincoln was a great listener and people were free to oppose his point of view without fear. He was good communicator and had a clear vision of what he wanted to accomplish. He was a storyteller, had a good sense of humor, and had a way of diffusing tense situations. Lincoln was humble, descent, kind, compassionate, honest and motivated others. He had a calm demeanor and when angry he would write letters to the person he was angry with, to get out all emotion, and then he would put the letter aside.
Quotes from Abraham Lincoln:
Courage is not the absence of fear. It is going forward with the face of fear. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. ~ Abraham Lincoln
Don’t worry when you are not recognize, but strive to worthy of recognition. ~ Abraham Lincoln
The most common characteristics that both Washington and Lincoln had both were good listeners, good communicators and had the ability to diffuse confrontation situations.

I recently watched a video about how people under continual stress for 20 + years have a good chance of getting heart disease, diabetes and/or dementia. When the body is in constant stress it will eventually show signs of unbalance.
Today, I am going to discuss briefly 5 actionable tips to balance your life!
Tip #1 – Saying NO! Politely stop saying yes to things you don’t want to do. Quit over committing yourself. Saying “no” is good for you especially when it is something you don’t want to do or you are overwhelmed with too many things. Let other people say yes so they can grow and learn.
Tip # 2 – Setting Healthy Boundaries – Professional and personal boundaries are essential to clearly identify the limits and responsibilities of everyone. Boundaries reflect what you will put up with in a relationship and what you will not. Communicating your boundaries makes you a happier person because you will not feel used or mistreated.
Tip # 3 – Stop Procrastination – Procrastination is a big waste of time. Stop putting off those difficult or undesirable tasks. Once the task or project is completed you can move on to more enjoyable tasks and have a great sense of accomplishment.
Tip # 4 – Leave Work at Work – Give your mind rest by stepping away from thinking about work. This will help get rid of frustration and give you time to come up with solutions when back at work. Spend time with family and friends and don’t engage in work conversations. Take a break and enjoy life outside of work.
Tip # 5 – Creating A Habit of Unplugging – Unplugging helps to reconnect with people around you. Communicate to everyone that you will not be checking your emails, texts and you will be unavailable during these specific times.
How do you know you are unbalanced?
You know it is time for work/life balance when…………………..
Your pet doesn’t recognize you!
Your spouse has your bags pack next to the door!
You open up the refrigerator and pantry and it is empty!
Your laundry is piling up and you have no clean clothes!
Your house plants are dead even your cacti!
You worked so late that the late show is not even on!
