Here’s why pushing your boundaries as a leader really matters, according to new neuroscience. Dr. Andrew Huberman recently shared some insights while talking with David Goggins—known for his resilience. The discovery? The anterior midcingulate cortex (AMCC). It’s changing our understanding of willpower and perseverance. No need to get caught up in the terminology —just focus on its impact. Want to become a more effective leader? I do! → Challenge yourself to step into a new role or lead a complex project.   → Dedicate 3 extra hours per week to learning a skill outside your comfort zone, like data analysis or public speaking. But it’s not just about doing more.   ↳ You have to do something you DO NOT want to do. Here’s how I did it:  At work conferences, where we were being trained on new sales processes or tools, instead of waiting to be called on, I volunteered first to get it done. I survived. The evidence? The AMCC is more developed in:   → Leaders who continually take on roles that push their limits, like managing a cross-functional team. The AMCC is less developed in:   → Those who stick to routine tasks and avoid unfamiliar challenges. If you always focus on what you’re already good at, you’re not growing your AMCC. If you get too comfortable in your leadership style, your AMCC may shrink. Why tackle the tough challenges? This may be where true leadership willpower is developed.   ↳ It could be the key to sustained growth and adaptability. 7 simple steps to build leadership resilience: Step 1 - Understand your brain.   ↳ Take advantage of knowing about the AMCC. Step 2 - Accept the discomfort.   ↳ Say yes to leading a project with high stakes or an uncertain outcome. Step 3 - Embrace the challenge.   ↳ Volunteer to present at a company-wide meeting or negotiate a difficult contract. Step 4 - Consistency is key.   ↳ Regularly take on tasks that stretch your abilities, like mentoring a struggling team member. Step 5 - Don’t avoid the task.   ↳ The AMCC shrinks when we shy away from making hard choices, like giving tough feedback. Step 6 - Push beyond comfort.   ↳ Even when it’s daunting, stick with the challenging projects or decisions. Step 7 - Share your commitment.   ↳ Set a public goal, like mastering a new software tool or completing an executive course, and share your progress. The takeaway?   → Do the work you tend to resist. Stretching yourself today strengthens your leadership for tomorrow. Your task for today?  Choose a challenge you've been avoiding, like handling a difficult conversation, and commit to it. _________________________________________ What will you do in your Moment of Choice? ♻️ Repost to help 1 person win 🔔 Follow me Rob Ogle

Presence is less about how you appear and more about how deeply you believe in yourself. Most people think executive presence is about what others see. But the leaders with real presence are anchored in how they see themselves. That’s the edge no one teaches in leadership training: Presence isn’t performance. It’s self-trust, embodied. You can have the polish. The title. The sharp talking points. But if deep down you’re still trying to earn the room, you’ll never own it. You don’t need to take up more space. You need to stop shrinking to fit inside theirs. The real edge isn’t being impressive. It’s being grounded, in your worth, not just your words. Here’s how to shift from performance to presence starting today: 1. Focus on What Mattered, Not What They Thought Most leaders leave a room wondering, “Did I say it right?” But here’s the shift: → Ask, “Was I real?” → “Did I lead with respect?” → “Did I create clarity or confusion?” 💡 Approval fades. Alignment lasts. This reframes the whole concept of presence, from external to internal. 2. Keep a “Belief Bank” Self-doubt isn’t solved by doing more. It’s solved by remembering who you are. Write down 5 times you led with courage, impact, kindness, or clarity. → Read them before big meetings or moments of pressure. 💡 You don’t need to prove anything. You need to remember your impact. Confidence isn’t built from applause. It’s built from evidence. (And you already have it, if you’re willing to see it.) 3. Ground Yourself Before You Enter Right before walking in, whisper something true to yourself: → “I’m here to connect, not perform.” → “I belong in this room.” → “I lead with purpose, not perfection.” 💡 A grounded leader creates safety for others to show up too. 🔥 4. Check the Mirror for Truth, Not Approval Before a big moment, ask: → “Am I being real, or just trying to be liked?” Adjust to your own standard, not theirs. 💡 Authenticity creates connection. And connection creates trust. Remember: Your leadership doesn’t start when others recognize you. It starts when you stop outsourcing your worth to their opinions. Because the version of you the world responds to, is the one you already believe in. ♻️Share to support others ➕Follow Loren Rosario - Maldonado, PCC for more 📸 Unknown
