Mayors are Awesone!
You are meant for greatness, put on this planet to make a conscious difference, to impart, to teach, to coach, to leave every place that you've been better than it was before.
Mayors are uniquely positioned to be the Super Heroes needed to lead the transformation of our towns and cities...but inherit responsibility for a complex portfolio of built form, programs, services and municipal governance...often without support.
Thriving as a Mayor is much, much, much more than just being a great leader. It’s about being a great Steward…and crafting win-win-win outcomes for yourself, your community and our planet.
Of all the ways that we can frame growth and measure success, stewardship is more comprehensive, logical, respectful, responsible, quantifiable and actionable. Simply put, thriving conditions are created by caring and nurturing one’s self, one’s community and one’s planet.
What is ThrivingMayor.com?
It is a coaching, consulting and curatorial practice focused on helping Mayors thrive in their professional and personal lives. In addition to one to one services, Thriving Mayor will offer a full suite of services to support a group of special people entrusted to lead their communities.
At Thriving Mayor we recognize that it can feel lonely at the top, and mayors are at the top…where the buck stops. But, humans derive our strength from collaboration. Best selling author and leadership guru Brene Brown writes that “…our neural, hormonal and genetic make-up support interdependence over independence."
Thriving Mayor is your community to “interdepend”, to explore and expand your style of leadership, lean on each other, ask for and share advice, tell your stories, share issues, pains, challenges, achievements, wins, milestones and craft strategies and tactics specific to your Mayoral journey. And, all within a fun, lively, timely, relevant, and valuable community curated specifically for Mayors.
Why Mayors?
Mayors are the super heroes we have elected to lead the creation of thriving communities! Mayors are our best hope to lead the evolution of our townscapes, cityscapes and the services they provide in sustaining the highest quality of life for all.
8 of the factors unique to the position of Mayor differentiate it from other elected leadership positions . The intersection of these 8 factors creates a convergence that is awesome, intimidating, powerful and occasionally overwhelming, and that position the Mayor as the leader in the recovery, rejuvenation and evolution of our communities.
Mayors are my ideal partner to create massive value and make meaningful, equitable and lasting change.
Elected to Govern
Mayors focus on governing...not on the politicking that dominates upper tier governance and the "run" for re-election.
Accessible
Mayors are much closer to the public than upper tier elected officials and connectable with the grass roots of the community.
Influential
Mayors win, earn and nurture increased influence, and leverage it through building trust with the people, staff and council.
Leadership
Mayors are the municipality's head coach, volunteering to lead a complex organization responsible for safety, security, shelter, services & programs.
Community Care
Mayors are voted in by their neighbours, people who've experienced the Mayor's care and generosity.
Growth Mindset
Mayors favor improvement over the ego soothing status quo and embrace failure as a way of learning.
Non Partisan
Mayors are not beholden to party politics, they lead according to their own credo and ethos.
Proximity
Mayors live along side their voters, seeing the local opportunities & challenges first hand.
Who is a Thriving Mayor?
A thriving Mayor is courageous, vulnerable, empathetic, honest, brave, compassionate, not afraid of failure and intrinsically motivated. In the role of Municipal Head Coach, they are thriving emotionally, spiritually and physically. A thriving Mayor will steward personal, communal and planetary well being, living and leading through listening, learning, contemplation and consensus building.
"...stewarding change - stewarding life - becomes even more than an inquiry and a practice. It is a quest. A hero’s journey. A choose-your-own-adventure story. The challenges we face in our organizations, in our communities and in the world call for nothing less. And our own hearts crave nothing more. " Michelle Holliday.
If this appeals to you I encourage you to join our Thriving Mayor movement to help create new momentum and make positive change in our communities. Invest in your personal growth, mayoral tactics, stewardship mind set, network of other super heroes and living a life of abundance and fulfillment by joining us at Thriving Mayor.
