Celebrating Independence Day with the Seven Fs: A Foundation for Goodness
By Madison, Client Services Coordinator at Good Leadership
Happy Independence Day! Good Leadership is celebrating this time of year and hope you are, too. As we gather to commemorate this occasion, it presents a perfect opportunity to reflect on the things we are grateful for in our lives. One valuable tool that can enhance our gratitude and guide us toward a more fulfilling life is known as the Seven Fs. These Seven Fs, consisting of Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness, Friends, Fun, and Future, serve as the fundamental pillars for goodness in leadership. Embracing these aspects helps us live with less stress and lead with less fear.
The Seven Fs: A Blueprint for Thriving and Winning Together
The Seven Fs represent essential dimensions of our lives that we all share. By carefully evaluating each of these areas, we gain a clearer understanding of what we require to thrive and achieve success in our lives. During this holiday season, we encourage you to invite your family and friends to join you in completing the Seven Fs wheel, which can be accessed at: https://goodleadership.com/seven-fs/
After completing the wheel, take a moment to examine it and ask yourself: Does it roll smoothly, or are there jagged edges? Is my wheel small or expansive in certain areas?
Engaging in this exercise with your loved ones offers the added benefit of sharing your individual Seven Fs wheels and discovering ways to support each other. For instance, if you rate highly in Fitness while your friend scores lower, leveraging your strengths to support each other can be a powerful way to utilize this tool effectively.
An Annual Tradition of ProgressConsider making the completion of the Seven Fs wheel an annual Independence Day tradition with your loved ones. Over time, observe how your individual wheels change and evolve. Celebrate the progress you make together and embrace the opportunities for personal growth that each passing year brings.
Blending the Seven Fs into Your Professional LifeAs the holiday festivities end, it’s time to integrate the power of the Seven Fs into your professional life. Blending involves finding ways to fulfill as many of the Seven Fs as possible in all our daily activities, whether personal or professional. It’s about being mindful of how the Seven Fs are present in every moment of our lives, not just at home or at work. It entails recognizing how our professional life contributes to our personal growth and how our personal life enriches our capabilities as leaders.
So, how can you blend the Seven Fs into your professional life? Consider the ways in which you can promote goodness and spread positivity among your colleagues. By incorporating the principles of Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness, Friends, Fun, and Future into your work environment, you can create a culture that fosters well-rounded leadership and overall well-being.
