What kind of Ambassador are You?
People are drawn to positive leaders because of their infectious energy, their enthusiasm, their 'can do' attitude and their ability to see a project to it's successful conclusion. These type of leaders have an unspoken strength about them and they lead with humility. They can sense what's right or what's wrong, what works and what doesn't work and easily guide people to their goals and aspirations.
Today a long time business associate of mine mentioned the term 'Ambassador of Positivity' in regards to an event she is now managing, as I did previously for many years. She wanted to go over a few things to make sure she was on a good track and wanting things to keep moving and shaking!
I knew there were quite a few 'Ambassadors of Positivity' on this committee. And that made me stop, ponder a bit, and think, just what does that mean to be a positivity ambassador?
To me it means being upbeat, encouraging, seeing the good in situations, open to new ideas, passionate, confident, giving, dedicated and of course positive!
What kind of person becomes a Positivity Ambassador? And why are those same people asked to take on that role quite often?
Leadership pops up in my mind first. I think it begins with leadership of self first and then becoming a leader of others. Being a leader doesn't happen over night. Oh no, not a chance of that! And for sure there are going to be leadership 'flops' along the way, which can be huge opportunities - or not. Becoming a skilled leader is a learning process that is honed over many years. But once the leadership skill is in ones DNA it can and usually lasts for a lifetime.

Well....we won't go there today with that side as it doesn't come out well. Who wants to follow negative leaders? Not me.
Does anyone ever start out thinking - I want to be an Ambassador of Positivity? Most likely not! But there are a lot of them out there, thankfully!
Are you an Ambassador of Positivity? Tell us how you got started on your path to being a positive leader? And how and what others can learn from your experience of becoming an outstanding leader of leaders? Thanks!
