No matter what stressful circumstances arise, you have a choice in how to handle them, and at that fork in the road, I hope you choose love. Maya Angelou said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”Īs you move through your day, keep this quote filed away in the back of your mind. Love in business is also being aware of how you make others feel. It can transform the entire company from the inside out, through the individual transformation of each employee. The more people doing the experiment together, the more powerful it becomes. The X represents the exponential power of what that love – multiplied – does to the company. LoveX was born – bringing the energy of love back into business. It looked exactly like the FedEx logo, with a big “X” on the end of Love. The same morning that the answer came to me in my meditation, an image popped into my head. That loving energy would also be infused into their work product and ripple out to the customers and clients as well. You know you’ve hit the sweet spot when you say those words to yourself and you believe it! When that happens, your energy changes, your vibration rises, and people start to notice something different about you, and that is a very powerful turning point.įrom my own experience of doing this simple experiment which I started in 2014 (and do every morning), I deeply understood that if people could remember how to love themselves again and bring that ‘loving’ version of themselves into the office/virtual space, then that higher energy/vibration would ripple out to their team, co-workers and ultimately the entire organization. First thing in the morning after you brush your teeth, look in the mirror, directly into your eyes, and say, “I love you.” At first it feels wildly uncomfortable and awkward.Įventually, after daily practice, what every single person comes to realize is that if you keep doing it, it gets easier, and the easier it gets the more comfortable you feel, and the more comfortable you feel,the more confident you become. I have often suggested to my clients a simple yet powerful starter exercise called “mirror work” by the American author and book publisher Louise Hay. When you do love your self, you will feel better, and when you feel better, you do better – better work, better team member, better leadership. It’s also about learning how to create healthy boundaries, stand up for yourself, and use your voice to speak your truth. What does it mean to love your self, and how is that relevant in a work environment? To love one’s self is about self-respect, self-compassion, and kindness in your thoughts and actions towards your self. Several years ago, in my morning meditations, I began asking the question, “How do you coach a company as if it were an individual?” The answer that came back surprised me: you teach people how to love themselves.
