Philosophy…Boots?
"Putting on your boots" is about daring to engage, in your business, life and leadership, in a way that is authentic for you - even if it means it’s uncomfortable at times. All Dare To Engage® Programs, services, and products are derived from thousands of hours of "in the trenches" coaching, facilitation and training experience, and are founded on the 7 Tenets of Bootism™ and several core expanding beliefs such as:
- we create our own story,
- energy is contagious (good and bad),
- our body and spirit and relationships are our most valuable assets and must be nurtured,
- leadership requires an active mindset and action,
- growth begins at the edge of comfort zones,
- life is to be enjoyed,
- presence is a gift and a choice,
- people are at their best when intrinsically motivated,
- we have control only over ourselves and therefore can help things go "right" or "wrong",
- and good things happen when you "show up."
The 7 Tenets of Bootism are based on the following guiding principles (put these together and you have a plan):
- We’re all on our own personal path…the path is dynamic and on-going and the more we grow, the more successful we become, the more important it is to vision and be on our "true" path.
- Self awareness is key…leadership begins from the inside out. Period. Know thyself, trust thyself, be thyself. And lead.
- Energy leadership and your vitality are the secret weapons that help you be the "best instrument" of change for the impact you want to create in your life, in your company, in the world.
- People make the world go round. Engage your relationships – directly engage – be in the dialogue and create…
- Presence and mindset drive results. Address these internally, reap the benefits externally.
- Authentic systems, structure and co-designed relationships create the foundation to "get it done" in a co-active and collaborative manner. Doesn’t mean it’s easy, but it’s essential.
- Leadership is a way of being and leading is a verb. It’s active, it’s dynamic, it happens from all levels and all angles. Lead.
By participating in these programs clients are challenged and supported to create solid action plans that move them forward, productive mindsets to help them breakthrough barriers (self imposed and other), greater energy, stamina and vitality to support themselves, stronger business and life relationships, conscious and congruent leadership, and ultimately better business results.
And it all starts with putting on their boots; THEIR true boots.
