Actify NYC on Creating Leaders, Empowerment, and Building Confidence

NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y. - Nov. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- “We don’t just have a steadfast dedication to clients and consumers,” Nick said. “We are also

thoroughly committed to the professional growth of our team members. As such, we train and

mentor them to become the next generation of major influencers and thought leaders.” He also

stated that identifying and honing leadership skills in others requires a significant investment of

time and resources.

For example, Nick communicates to his team at Actify NYC that long-term vision is what matters.

It is much more meaningful than individual performance. “No one – no matter how talented or

clever – is ever going to be as effective as a team. This is why teamwork is so valuable to us,” he

indicated.

Nick also explained that challenging others on an ongoing basis is crucial to skill development.

This can be accomplished by increasing responsibilities and tightening deadlines, for instance. “I

also stand firm in my belief that all leaders should fully understand their boundaries, as well as

the boundaries of others,” he continued. “Challenges are essential, and so are limits. They keep

professionals focused on their own areas instead of interfering in others.”

Actify NYC’s Director Highlights the Need for Confidence and Empowerment

Nick also discussed how he empowers his team and infuses it with confidence. “At Actify NYC,

we are committed to encouraging each other as we strive to attain our personal and professional

goals,” he confirmed.

He further explained that empowerment supports self-reflection, the ability to examine values,

goals, and skills – then making whatever changes are necessary to achieve success. It allows

individuals to move closer to self-fulfillment, to be better aware of their abilities, and to strengthen

their roles within their teams.

“There are so many different facets of empowerment. Self-awareness, for one, pertains to an

intimate understanding of personal strengths and weaknesses, as well as how they impact values

– the beliefs and opinions so deeply rooted in people’s minds that they are difficult to even

recognize,” stated Nick. “Identifying and establishing comfort with a value system leads to an

incredibly powerful state of being.”


Empowerment is connected to skills and goals as well. Setting goals is a technique that helps

individuals maintain control over their lives, and offers them direction. Skills are the means with

which people achieve their goals, so excelling at them naturally gives people the power they need

to drive success.

“These dimensions are all interconnected,” concluded Nick. “Once they come to light, however,

team members instantly enjoy feelings of pride and confidence that are entirely new to them.

Empowerment is an obvious successor of self-confidence, which in itself is a necessary

prerequisite to enduring leadership.”
