In the present world of fierce competition for jobs and employment opportunities, creative job titles go a long way to attract the attention of employers and companies.

However, as I started to research this, I realized that for this article to hold any power, to be truly authentic and real, I would have to write about myself, to make this personal.

“Life becomes a lot easier when you learn to accept an apology you never got.” — Robert Brault. At some point in life, all of us have held grudges against a few people. Why? The simplest explanation is that we are humans. We, humans, run pretty high on emotions (don’t we?). Happy, sad, angry, anxious and what not. Grudges are usually the result of an unerupted volcanic reaction inside our brains.

If you’re like most people, you hate life’s inevitable uncertainties, which can cause tremendous anxiety. Will I get the promotion? Will I be accepted in graduate school? Will I win the award?

I would not categorize myself as a “female” leader, necessarily, but that may come from being Norwegian. We don’t really have many issues with equality in the workplace here. So for me, being humble is the most important. Being open and transparent about the mistakes I make, being open about being human, is much better than building a shell. This applies to both men and women.

Small interactions can truly have big consequences. I was having a terrible day at work.

Announce your goals — One of my goals is to own a private plane by 2025. Back in 2018, I ran a Facebook ad promoting my goal to 10,000 people, and had a fun dialog with all the strangers that wanted to fly in my plane. But I had pilots messaging me wanting jobs, and entrepreneurs messaging me that they would race me. It really motivated me and made the goal seem real.

Leaders grow leaders. It’s important to provide opportunities and experiences to others. In my experience, most leaders are not consciously aware of this, but when they do help grow others’ leadership skills, it’s a differentiator. Often times it comes with experience and wisdom, and people get better later in life at growing the next generation of leaders.

Prior to my beautiful Daughter’s formal wedding this past Summer I had a difficult time with my own personal health. I feared seeing distant family and friends at the lavish affair and even more so dreaded the conversations I projected would happen between us after so much time apart.

I have always believed that your personal behaviors drive your personal outcomes. In addition to focusing on the behaviors we just discussed, I would say that one-on-one time with each member of your talent is invaluable. Always be prepared and always have a set agenda for these sessions to maximize their effectiveness.

Be willing to define and redefine success for yourself. Growing up I was somewhat of a chameleon. I learned quickly to adapt to my surroundings and molded my personality around who I was with. As I got older, this made it very easy for me to soak up other people’s definitions of success as my own. Whenever I felt stressed or unsatisfied, it was, at least in part, because I needed to connect back to MY definition of what success would look and feel like in that situation (and redefine it if neces

Support your team. Let the buck stop with you. Good leaders trust their team and let them fail. And be authentic. Nothing is worse than having employees wondering what you are thinking. It’s demotivating and it stalls productivity. And now, the hard one: solicit feedback on your performance. Everybody wants praise, and nobody likes criticism. But criticism will lead to praise if you take it to heart.
