9 months into my dream job I get called into my boss' office

He says my team is going away and I have a few months to find a new job or leave Google

30 days before the deadline...👇

I have a grand total of ZERO job offers

This is rock bottom.

If was to survive, something needed to change

My mindset needed to change

At rock bottom, I CHOOSE two NEW MINDSETS

1. The world is abundant with opportunity.
2. I don't worry about doing things right or wrong. I take action, which leads to learning, progress and growth

Everyday, I began to PRACTICE these new mindsets with this simple affirmations practice

1. State the new mindset outloud
2. Envision in your mind when this was true in the PAST
3. Envision in your mind how this is true in the PRESENT
3. Envision in your mind how this is will be true in the FUTURE

Incredible things started to happen:

- Job opportunities came from everywhere
- I took tons of creative action like emailing the CEO of a startup

I ended that 30 days with two job offers:

That's right.

Thanks to envisioning, I'm about to celebrate 12 years Google

Heres the thing though:

- It's NOT magic.
- It IS using the power of your predicting brain 🧠
- It IS planting & watering the seeds (ie. affirmations) of the future you want to create 🌱

🧠 Each of us has the power to create our own reality by cultivating our mindset intentionally

🧠 What new mindset are you choosing for 2023?

🔥 Did you know that only 14% of reorgs are successful?

That means 86% of reorgs fail to achieve their goals. Shocking!

Honestly, after living through 11 reorgs in my last 10 years at Google it kind of makes sense.

I created the Ask What's Possible Workshop to help newly formed teams rebuild trust, create psychological safety, and align around a BIG shared vision in hours, not quarters.
