Be humble for you are made of earth, Be noble for you are made of stars. ~ Serbian proverb ~
There is a duality that exists in leadership. You must, at the same time, be a charismatic-confident-visionary and a humble-inclusive-servant. Leaders must be touchable but also special. Do you accept both roles? Can you see how the best leadership must find a way to practice assertiveness and humility? People only follow those who are sure of themselves. They will follow you if you feel you can lead the way. At the same time, arrogance will not get you the respect you need to lead - think of it more as a special ability that is not about you but about the purpose or mission. Remember, this ability is a gift and you must be gracious. True, it is a fine line, but there are no options to only be one or the other. Lead with your head held high and your arms held out.
1. Close your eyes

4. As thoughts come in, acknowledge and whisk them away
5. Focus on your breathing
6. Think about the affirmation:
I will be humble and confident in my abilities.
