ONLY THE TOP 5% OF WOMEN PRACTICE THIS

If you are looking for growth, progress, or to expand your business and income, and if you desire to become an impactful leader, I have a valuable message for you. Through my years of coaching successful women CEOs and executives, I have observed one key quality that only the top 5% of women consistently practice. I recently experienced this firsthand while delivering a full-day workshop at a Fortune 500 company in London. After the session, many participants approached me for book signings and to discuss their goals. One woman in particular, whom I'll refer to as Shelly, shared her dream of starting her own consulting firm. Although she was eager and had completed several preparatory courses, I noticed during our coaching sessions that she struggled to keep up with her commitments. This issue wasn't just about missing deadlines — it was about a deeper mindset that, if not addressed, could stand between her and extraordinary success.

When you consistently break commitments — even small ones — it slowly becomes a habit. Over time, it chips away at your confidence, reputation, and ability to lead effectively. Many women, because of family, societal, and work pressures, end up justifying missed commitments, telling themselves they'll catch up later. But success demands a fierce commitment to following through, even when it's inconvenient or uncomfortable. The top 5% of women I coach have mastered this art. They keep their word, value people's time, and understand that honoring commitments builds credibility and trust. When you keep your promises, you send a strong message: you value yourself, your work, and the people you engage with. This quality alone can define whether you are chosen for the next big project or overlooked.

So, how can you build this powerful quality? First, learn to say no — protect your time and energy by only committing to what you can genuinely deliver. Second, go the extra mile — if you must break a commitment, take the initiative to personally communicate and rebuild trust, rather than sending a quick, impersonal message. Lastly, honor even your worst commitments — fulfill what you promised, even when it's tough, because it showcases your integrity and character. Remember, the extent to which you honor your commitments to yourself and others is the extent to which you create lasting success. Legendary leaders don’t just make promises; they keep them. From today onwards, become someone whom others can truly count on.
