Seriously stop!

Stop asking for sliver bullets. It's bullshit! they don't exist and even if they did, who's to say you can even aim right?

This musing, may have turned into a slight rant! Unlike me, I know! 🤣

But seriously...stop asking for silver bullets. Work at your craft. Get better at being a good human. That's the work!

No doubt you have all heard, and all talk about 'personal accountability' in the workplace. But, how much do you discuss, address and evolve 'shared responsibility' in your teams.

The dishwasher is not mine!

A simple analogy that helps share the important message about shared responsibility and how it nurtures and creates better personal accountability.

Not the most palatable title for a musing perhaps.

I can assure you it is not the most appetising or digestible conversations with leaders either, but one that has to be had at times.

Are you leaders living and breathing the values, the culture, the ways of working, 'the way' that you serve customers and your team?

How are you doing this?

How are you reviewing or benchmarking what you are doing?

Why does it matter so much?

Have a listen, and let's debate this some more.

Yep...you heard right!

Do you want to truly break through and get the results you deserve in your career or business. Then here it is! No, it isn't a secret sauce or magic bean, its a major part of your identity that can be crippling your ability to take your gift to the world.

And that is that you have fallen into the age old trap of "I don't want to be THAT kind of sales person".

You know the ones we mean. We have all experienced them, and we would do everything we can to avoid being that person, in fact we are! Every day. By avoiding the elephant in the room. Sales is vital to the success of any organisation, big or small. And if you want to get good at anything, you've got to really be in love with it.

Courage!? And the dichotomy of it.

Here's an interesting little musing, on life and business conversations of late... enjoy.

Remember the time when you have to make a decision, a choice, a risk and we try to pluck up some courage! It sounds odd even typing that, where do we puck it from? Can we even do that?

I wonder...

It's all about the people right!? Until it isn't or for some sadly it never was.

Yet it is and it should always be. People are the rock bed of everything good, so let's discuss how important they are to you and what relationships really mean to you & your business.

Ever had that... ? At times, you are the best version of you, you can be. Yet at times, you are the polar opposite to that!

At times we are our own worst enemy. At times we are our greatest champion & cheerleader.

At times, we don't need or want anything or anyone. At times, we cannot do it or be it on our own!

I get it. I hope you do too.

An even better question, perhaps, is what does significance or 'being of significance' mean to you?

A tri-factor (is that a word or term) of things came together in conversations and listening to & reading books of late, and that is around the pursuit of happiness and the unhappiness that accompanies this. But why? 

Is it that we are never satisfied? Could it be that always seeking more, leads to emptiness and a lack of fulfilment or is it that a tri factor of our values, our happiness and our metrics are not aligned. 

How are we measuring our happiness and success? How does that align with our values and the values of others....is our metrics, confusing or letting us down! 

Have a listen, see what you think.

I was gifted this phrase, in a conversation with an old colleague, sorry a previous colleague! (easy to read that wrong)

After reconnecting on the work front for the first time since probably 2009 it was brilliant to catch up on old times, share stories, explore each others journey since those corporate days, and during the conversation I asked him, what triggered you to get in touch. 

And he replied, it wasn't one specific thing, but the trickle over the dam effect of seeing, hearing and resonating with some of the content that we share pretty prolifically. 

And that is how marketing for us should work, we put it out there, with a vibe, and it repels and attracts on purpose. As the tribe grows, the listeners, the followers, the people who we want to reach, engage, they start a conversation, they reach out, the take action. 

The starting point for 'Thinking & Acting Differently' in our experience and that is our entire purpose.
