Here's to YOU Being Limitless in 2021!

I never stop being impressed with this community. Despite a most unusual and challenging year, goodness, impact and momentum have prevailed. It is with sadness for all those who have suffered and also with gratitude for the purpose driven course-correction that has been demanded of all of us this year.

What will 2021 bring? YOU decide, and letā€™s make it happen.

What impact do you want to have?

How do you want to spend your days?

Whose lives do you want to touch?

What recognition would you like to receive?

How do you want to feel about your contribution, your energy, your freedom, your passion projects, your career, and your legacy?

You should know by now that I believe wholeheartedly, and I work with the scientists who have proven my quote to be true (namely Dr. Anders Ericsson, author ofĀ Peak)ā€¦Ā 

ā€œYou are only limited by what you think is possible.ā€

Hereā€™s to reaching new heights and a happy and healthy 2021!

With gratitude for you an...

You Are a Gift (My Surrender Practice)

You Are a Gift (My Surrender Practice)

First, thank you for becoming a new subscriber or for being a subscriber to our community for many years. Your willingness to continue to learn and grow makes you world-class. I mean it wholeheartedly when I say,Ā you are a gift. A gift to your family, your colleagues, clients and ultimately to the world.

Our community motto for 2021 isĀ ā€˜Hone It and Own Itā€™Ā because you deserve to shine your light as bright as ever in 2021, and you must. There is something that will inevitably get in the way though, so letā€™s deal with it now, so we can be unencumbered by it in 2021ā€¦ This invisible barrier is called ā€˜preferenceā€™.

Preference is a funny (and troublesome) thing. When we prefer that something entirely out of our control is a certain way and it isnā€™t, more often than not it creates anxiety, frustration and sometimes even anger. These snowballs that we build into avalanches with our mind tend to extinguish our best work. Our creativity, productivity, innova...

Time to Draw Your Own Map?

Time to Draw Your Own Map?

ā€œYou have a brilliance in you, your contribution is valuable, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must. Iā€™m hoping youā€™ll stand up and choose to make a difference."
- Seth Godin, Linchpin

In his bookĀ Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?, Godin talks about when he was a kid and his love of the comic book series,Ā The Justice League of America.Ā He explained that,Ā 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.Ā 

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."

So, maybe itā€™s your time.

YourĀ 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 chances. To follow the map you were given or the m...

Top 4 Ways NOT to Bomb in the Boardroom

(Scroll below to view the video)

Top 4 Ways NOT to Bomb in the Boardroom

Have you ever had a meeting, presentation or any important interaction go sideways? Most of us have. Along with being a missed opportunity toĀ  gain the influence, recognition or respect we want and deserve, what stings the most is usually our disappointment in ourselves. Letā€™s make sure it never happens again.

Here are the top 4 ways that amazing leaders and emerging leaders make mistakes AND how to convert the bomb to being a boss in the boardroom (or in any other crucial interaction):

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 itā€™s over. Make it as vivid and visceral as possible, then visualize it until you believe itā€™s possible.

2.)Ā Lack ofĀ Empathy

When it comes to crucial conversations, presentations, meetings etc, e...
