It might not happen
Ideas that matter are led by individuals who are willing to embrace the "it might not happen"
It shows
From our attitude to our actions, it shows.
Like this. Like them. Like us.
Everything we do is an attempt to live up to a particular story, the story of us.
Eventually the culture shifts
If all the data in the world isn’t powerful enough to change deeply-rooted cultural beliefs, what is?
What more can we ask?
If you can confidently say that you’ve given your best to this project or that relationship, what more can you ask?
Is it helping?
Figure out what’s helping. Double down on it. And put everything else on hold.
Where’s the friction?
Finding the friction and dealing with it early is what gives us the traction to move forward or pivot with speed and focus.
Windows or walls
On how we choose to move and lead.
Just what I was looking for!
What is your organization talking about these days?
Something *might* happen
Finally doing the work might lead us straight into what we were looking for.
Perfection doesn’t scale
In today’s fast and hyper-connected world where ideas are constantly being shared and iterated on, perfect gets left behind.
How much is left?
If obsessing over the gap between where you are now and where you want to go next is getting in the way of forward movement, change your focus.
Cheers to mistakes
When did making mistakes get such a bad rap?
The wrong gap
Why are we in such a hurry for more?
1000 reasons to care
The challenge isn’t finding something meaningful to put our attention toward, it’s having the audacity to go looking for it in the first place.
Looking for a mapmaker?
The possibilities are endless. Plot your own path and go.
A cause for action
Uncertainties are not a cause for inaction, they’re the reason we show up.
The time is now
Climate change isn’t something that’s taking place outside our bubble. It’s happening right now. In our neighborhoods and communities.
Two ways to frame uncertainty
Our relationship with uncertainty makes all the difference.
That or this?
There will always be abundantly more to do than we have the capacity to do.
Other focused
When our energy is focused on making things better for the benefit of others and not solely for our own, a few things magically happen.
It works both ways
How we show up and what we focus on matters.
Choosing contribution
When we choose to see ourselves and others as contributors, we instantly enter a sandbox of play where get to engage in relationships and conversations that move us closer to the change we seek to make.
The comparison downfall
What matters is not so much where we end up relative to those around us but where we end up relative to where we are now.
Important relative to what?
How to focus our attention on what is important and not what simply feels important.
Don't muddy the message
It's better to be specific for a few.
