009 /// Take Responsibility Give Credit

To own our mistakes, to take responsibility for them, is hard sometimes. Especially when we struggle with admitting we are wrong. A natural human reaction is to deflect error and blame other people or adverse circumstances. That is a victim mindset. A place where we give others power over the choices we made. We can shift our mindset to one of power by taking responsibility for our actions, the consequences to those actions, and the correction to those actions. Those are the humble and courageous acts of very few in this world we live in. But they cause others to pay attention and take notice. They create space for positive influence. There is power associated with taking responsibility. Giving credit to others is something else we don’t see enough. People want to take credit for themselves and give responsibility to others. But it is in the noticing of others, the calling out of their good and helpful deeds, the giving of credit to those positive things we see that we begin to build relational trust through an integrity that doesn’t have to be first. An integrity that doesn’t have to be first itself, but enjoys seeing others rise up. Taking responsibility and giving credit require a personal accountability that leads to greater integrity, influence, and positive change. In this episode we talk about three ways taking responsibility can impact us and others:

- Personal Growth and Accountability

- Fostering Trust With Others

- Inspiring Others to Make a Difference Doing the Same

I invite you to listen with an open and courageous mind to discover how to better rise up in your personal power, stop giving it away to others, and encourage others to do so as well.
