The Seven Fs Wheel \u2013 When we expand our thinking to include blending the Seven Fs, our perspective becomes brighter!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kelsey here one\u00a0more time… It\u2019s my last blog while Paul\u2019s out on sabbatical! I\u2019ve spent the past month filling in for Paul in various ways \u2013 the breakfast, this blog, etc. \u2013 and it\u2019s been a treat to stretch my Good Leadership\u00a0muscles. A foundational element of the Good Leadership message\u00a0is focused on being aware of how the Seven Fs<\/a> are moving in and through us. We believe it\u2019s essential to living with less stress and leading with less fear.<\/p>\n

Using my Seven Fs Wheel<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Seven Fs Wheel has become a regular part of my life and leadership since partnering with the Good Leadership team three years ago. It\u2019s a tool we use at Good Leadership to measure satisfaction with Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness, Friends, Fun, and Future, and I find it to be one of the most effective ways for me to get a quick check in on how well I\u2019m living out my values. One pass around the wheel helps me to see where I\u2019m thriving and where I might need more work. And, I\u2019m so excited that an online version of the Seven Fs wheel will soon be accessible on the Good Leadership website (no printing need) \u2013 Millennials around the world, rejoice!<\/p>\n

With my sister and our good friend in Germany at Oktoberfest; good friends, great country, and beer? What could be better?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Focusing on Friends<\/strong><\/p>\n

This February, I re-listened to Richard Leider<\/a> reflect on the importance of friends – during the recording of our Goodness Pays Leadership Podcast<\/a>\u00a0episode,\u00a0“The Power of Purpose” –\u00a0and intentionally connecting with those friends – as he ages. He mentioned how he now visits his friends around the world – with great intention – knowing that if he doesn\u2019t visit his community, he\u2019ll no longer have it.<\/p>\n

At first I thought, I get it. I know it\u2019s important to keep up your community. But then suddenly it resonated. When I last did my Seven Fs Wheel, I was surprised by the dip I saw in my satisfaction with Friends. I have great friends in my life, but I realized I feel like I\u2019m not doing enough to connect with and invest in them. And like Leider said, if I don\u2019t invest in these people, I won\u2019t have them! I decided to blend a few Fs: I\u2019m focusing on Friends (what I want to strengthen) + Fun (connect with them and traveling to see those who live far from me!) + Future (maintaining these relationships for years to come).<\/p>\n

Since then, I\u2019ve reached out to a number of friends for a ten-minute check-in call before bed, even though I might want to go straight to sleep. And, I\u2019ve planned a couple trips to see friends around the country\u2026 just for fun! I\u2019ve felt a renewed sense of connection to my community, near and far. That connection gives me the energy to take on tough challenges at work because I know I\u2019m supported in success or failure.<\/p>\n

What have you done lately to connect with Friends? To combine elements of the Seven Fs in your life? Take a moment to check in: how is your Seven Fs Wheel<\/a> doing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
