- Seth Godin, Linchpin

In his book Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?, Godin talks about when he was a kid and his love of the comic book series, The Justice League of America. He explained that, with the exception of Batman and Superman, the other members needed to explain their superpowers in the beginning of each story when a stranger was introduced. 

Godin goes on to say that "...the best future available to us is a future where you contribute as your true self and your best work."

Your time to draw your own map. A map that may still include fear and doubt, but one that knows how to use those emotions as superpowers and not kryptonite.

Some of us have been trained to be safe. Not to take...

1.) Lack of Preparation

Since you and your colleagues are likely Zoomed out, this is more important now more than ever. Plan key points/asks/needs/outcomes. Think through how you want the interaction to turn out, and how you want to feel once it’s over. Make it as vivid and visceral as possible, then visualize it until you believe it’s possible.
