  A local expert provides five recommendations on a topic useful to small business owners. This week, management consultant Ellen Castro talked to staff writer Hanah Cho on being a "spirited leader."

  1. Change your thoughts, change your world
  Thoughts have power. Be positive, constructive and solution-focused. Begin today walking into every meeting with the thought: "I am a champion. I am equipped." Live from the possibilities. You are far more powerful than you imagine.
  
  2. We are our choices
  Your choices define you - not your DNA, past or environment. With faith and better choices, spirited leaders live a life of authenticity and awesomeness. Be the first to smile and be generous with encouragement and praise.
  
  3. Live consciously
  Everything communicates. There are no neutral actions. You are always on stage. Everything either adds to your credibility or detracts from your credibility. Credibility is the foundation for trust and meaningful conversations that inspire and motivate innovation, collaboration, teamwork and greatness.
  
  4. Redefine failure
  There are no failures, only learnings. Everything is a coaching moment. Everyone is your teacher. The only "failure" is not getting back up. Learnings build character, strength, compassion and wisdom to better serve others - to help their paths be easier, lighter and brighter.
  
  5. It's all about trust
  Spirited leaders know that life is for them. They believe that everything works together for good. They trust they are always moving forward regardless of appearances. Setbacks are simply setups for comebacks. They radiate their message with a confidence that allows others to skyrocket to success regardless of external factors.
