6 Ways Self-Leadership Can Help You Take Control of Your Life and Business If you're eager to see different results, self-leadership could help you achieve them.

Growing your leadership skills is nothing new, but self-leadership? Now, that's a whole new ballgame. It's equally important, if not more so, than growing your leadership skills.

Now, even if you aren't a leader in the traditional sense of the word, you can still benefit from self-leadership training. Self-leadership is about knowing who we are on the deepest levels, aligning to our center and then living out our truth through self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-management and self-efficacy. It teaches us how to take 100% ownership and responsibility of our results and everything we do in life. And taking ownership and responsibility of our results gives us the freedom to make changes and adjust as needed to grow into who we want to be.

But getting to that point requires us to set aside the time to slow down, do the inner work and get clear on who we are (and aren't!) and what we want. Then, we can use that insight to guide decisions, to know when to say yes and when to say no. Here are six ways you can start taking responsibility for your life today and grow your self-leadership.
