‘Work-Life Balance’ is Killing You with David Taylor-Klaus

A leader’s mindset affects the entirety of the group, but with
the pandemic and the things it make us experience, disengagement
is slowly becoming present and it’s making life a little harder
to live. 


Left with no choice but to find and do work in order to survive,
we tend to pay more attention to that job instead of crafting the
life we want. In these times, learning how to live a
rhythm-organized life is necessary for you to avoid burning your
entire soul out. 


David Taylor – Klaus is the author of the best
selling new book “Mindset Mondays with DTK: 52 Ways to REWIRE
Your Thinking and Transform Your Life” – a book that will guide
you towards living a life in rhythm. He reintroduces successful
entrepreneurs and senior executives to their families, and
challenges leaders in their teams to reach their highest levels
of performance in both their professional and personal lives. As
a serial entrepreneur, David was recognised for combining
candour, intelligence, and humour with masterful
coaching.  


In this episode, David shares his insights on the disengagement
leaders experience that slowly kills them and their being. Here,
he discusses how a ‘work-life balance’ system practiced in your
life actually affects you in a way that exhausts you out, and how
good it would be for you to shift into the idea of ‘life rhythm’.
Listen and check these concepts out.

Key Takeaways: 


“Mindset, for me, is the most critical element to leadership
because not only does the leader’s mindset impact his or her
ability to lead and the way they lead; it's contagious. I've
always heard that a leader sets the weather. The leader’s mindset
is something that he imbues, or I’ll say, emits and becomes
contagious to their team, and that's something incredibly
important. It changes the way teams work.” – David Taylor
- Klaus 


“When you stop and look at your life and take an assessment with
blameless discernment, letting go of the judgment, just
objectively looking at where you are and where things are going,
you’ll look forward and you’ll realize, ‘If I change nothing, if
I keep going the way I'm going, it's just going to keep getting
worse’.” – David Taylor - Klaus 


“You can wait until you hit bottom, or you can make the decision
that this is the bottom and you can start taking action to change
things.” – David Taylor - Klaus
