Bargaining with fear.

What are you afraid of?

What are you crazy about?

What are your hot buttons?

What brings you joy?

What makes you laugh?

What do you do to make progress?

What do you do that holds you back?

Imagine you’re having this conversation with yourself

Imagine you’re having this conversation with yourself…

Everything i do helps me simplify the way i think.

It helps me dedicate myself to the way i think.

That’s personal power.

The way i think drives the way my day goes.

It drives everything that happens today.

It drives tomorrow.

It drove yesterday.

It’s gonna drive every day next week.

And next month, guess what?

It’s gonna drive all 31 days in May.

What’s the point of having priorities?

Yesterday, a sprint to the finish line. As a team. A clear goal. Give it your all.

 

What’s the point of having priorities?

Dear executive, if you wanted everyone to be focused on the key drivers for your organization’s success, how would you accomplish it?

How would your direct reports accomplish it?

How would their direct reports accomplish it?

How will your front line do it?

Why haven’t you been doing those things?

Why aren’t you doing those things now?

You do realize what this sounds like and looks like to an unbiased observer, right?

Our attitude, negative or positive, is an addiction

addiction definition
Reminder.

 

Do you feed your positive attitude as much as you feed your stomach?

Is your positive attitude on a diet?

Malnourished?

Do you starve yourself?

Or would others say you are a (positive attitude) role-model for “healthy eating”.

Do you read personal development books and articles frequently?

Why, or, why not?

If it’s why not, how long has it been since you used to read developmental books?

And if you read professional development all the time, can you imagine where you’d still be if you had never been focused on learning and improving?
