What are 12 qualities of high achievers?

In this week's podcast, we're re-sharing another great episode where Laura discusses her observation of 5 incredible women who have achieved wild success professionally. While unique and diverse in style, personality, and preferences, they share 12 qualities that differentiate peak performers. 

But remember... They weren't BORN with any of these qualities (with the exception of perhaps one). 

They developed, practiced, grooved, and perfected them over their career. And even now, each of them well into their career, they are still refining with enthusiasm to get better every day. And the best part is, you can do this too!

In this episode: 12 Qualities of High Achievers

6:15- Acknowledge your fears and step forward anyway

7:15- Learn to fail well

8:30- Ask for what you want and forge your own path

9:30- Ensure your goals are impact-driven

10:15- Practice the “And” 

11:30- Possess infinite curiosity

12:30- Be an advocate for equity and opportunity

13:30- Know your boundaries and what you refuse to sacrifice

14:50- Lead others with compassion

15:40- Access your whole-self intelligence

16:50- Tend to your well-being

17:40- Integrate rituals of play into your life

As unique individuals with our own perspectives and ways of working, we've all likely encountered someone at work who we tend to clash with—or experienced a situation that caused misalignment in a working relationship.

In this week's podcast episode, 10X Leadership Lab Partner and Coach, Ashley Andersen, joins us for another fabulous conversation on how to work well with others through conflict resolution. Laura and Ashley discuss how to recognize tendencies and unexamined biases when encountering someone you don't get along with, approach conflict with mindfulness, and find common ground even through a difficult work relationship.

In this episode:

6:45- Recognizing default tendencies when an issue with someone arises

17:30- Tools we can use to work through conflict with others
