What do you see?



What do you see?

Take a look in the mirror.  Do you like what you see?  Are you up there with the best, or just getting along?  Are you concerned about who you are in the world in your work place or at home? 

The solution is at hand.

So why is it important to see who you are, what you are about and what your contribution to the world is about?  Why, because you are the only you.

“If not you, then who?  If not now, then when?” - Niche

When was the last time you took a course, went to a conference or just pigged out on a programme for the sake of just loving it?  Could you be doing master chef, or master life or master photography?  Could you be doing a something more or something less so that you could have the life that you are yearning for?

Last weekend I attended PSASA – Professional Speakers Association of South Africa’s conference in Johannesburg.  Sixty national and international professional speakers shared “How to” skills and techniques.  Every monthly meeting inspires me.  Every conference excites me and challenges me to be more, do more and to give more.

To what continuous education programmes are you committed?  What are you implementing from such programmes – or are they just filling space in your diary and distracting yourself for short periods of time?  To what is it that you are committing your life to?  What hours of attendance or lack of, are impacting on who you are becoming or not?  How much time, money and effort are you investing in you to becoming the person you are born to be?  Not always will you see why or how, but I say to you, just do, because you know it is the right thing for you to be doing.  Be part of the process anyway.  Let the process feed your soul, your philosophy of life, your actions.  Let the process be the light and follow anyway because it is in the right direction for you. 

I love the space from the norm, the upliftment and to return with renewed energy that continuous education brings to me.  It changes the mundane into the special.  It brings newness, insight and permission to take courage.  It is about growth in self so that you may offer others more of who you authentically are.  It is about sharing more of self in a better, improved and generative way – why would you not want to be growing yourself???   It is researched that 5% of the world is strong, positive and encouraging.  That leaves 95% who are not.  What side of that stat do you want to be sitting on?  For myself, I want the 5% - lonely sometimes being there, but sure as I know anything, that is certainly my preference – what is yours?

Go out and find something you can join and enjoy.  Go out and find something that makes you a better person for having this type of experience, these people to learn from and this opportunity to pour yourself into.

Make your life one that you will remember, be grateful for and leave a legacy.  Barbara

Sustainable Leadership and Wellness Development



Leadership Dimensions has given birth to Wellness Dimensions.

Wellness Dimensions is all about just that – wellness - your wellness.  Wellness on a physical level, mental level, emotional level and yes, dare I say spiritual level as well.  Look around you.  See those who do and those who do not possess wellness.  See the difference?  Wellness on all levels is vital, required and optimising.  Your wellness will bring about your sustainability, creativity and longevity.  Your wellness is about your stamina and vitality.  Your wellness is about moving forward, loving life and creating more and more living.

Imagine having more energy for your work and home relationships.  Imagine waking in the mornings wanting to get work, wanting to mow the lawn, or wanting to do the monthly grocery shopping.  Imagine knowing that you will enjoy it, create something that you have yet to think about and even come back for more.  Why?  Why not?  Why not have an enjoyable career, an enjoyable family life and an enjoyable life?  Why not be fully yourself, fully engaged and having blast of a lifetime?

Hey, so what is the alternative – well you are probably more aware of this side of the coin already anyway.  Its more like operating on minimal cylinders.  Just like a car without oil; it is just a matter of time before you blow up, break down and die a miserable death.

Your wellness is your choice and your responsibility.  It takes you and only you to get into the programme of wellbeing.  Yes it takes some thinking, decision making, some planning and possibly even some rearranging in your life – hey your life, your decision.  Know that the info, support and products are there for you.  It is a matter of doing something about it because you are the only you we have in this world.  

What was it that you were going to be doing in this world?  What was your dream about?  What is your legacy about?  Hey, remember all that?  Well this is now your time to be doing something more, better, bigger than you have been.  This is your time to get well again, to drop a few kilos, and to put the zest back into your life.  Smile again, wear your changes on your sleeve and brag of how fabulous you feel. 

“Eish” (as they say in South Africa) imagine what that would do for your business, career, home life, sex life, relationships – do I need to say anymore?

This is your time – shine like the star you are – get well!  Barbara

So Impressed....

Are you in a situation where you need to up your game be it mentally or physically?

Are you needing to perform better so that you may enjoy more of what you are involved with?

Well, I believe I have a solution...

As you now know, I am doing El Camino in May.  February was when I decided to go and now it is April - not that long ago and yet my results have been positively surprising to me and to those who have been watching my progress.

I have been sooooo impressed with my nutritional programme.  I have become stronger and leaner.  Some people who know me cant get over the changes in my stamina and vitality.  I am walking like a star and exceeding expectations in my Pilates and Aqua classes.  Training is becoming easier.

Should you feel you would like to discuss what I have been doing through nutrition, please do make contact with me on bj@leadershipdimensions.co.za or Drbj@wellnessdimensions.co.za or Skype: Barbara.Johnson48 - this has been such a pleasure.  I am willing to share it with you for your development of stamina and vitality.  All the best, Barbara
