George Couros begins this episode with a reflection on a quote from the book, Getting to Neutral:

“The next time your world feels like its collapsing around you,

Grab your mental gear shift and ask yourself something similar, don't worry about the big picture, ask this: What is the next thing I need to do?”

When we can articulate what is going on and what we need to do to move forward, we can find confidence in what may happen next.

This clip from the episode with Dr. Donya Ball is all about articulating the situation and figuring out what is next. Dr. Ball, the author of Adjusting the Sails, reflects on what the next right thing is in this episode of The Innovator’s Mindset Podcast.
