I write about the stuff that actually gets in the way of leading well — the blind spots, the habits, and the systems you built that now run you instead of the other way round.
No theory. Just what I’ve seen work with the CEOs and founders I coach.
They Told me I was Arrogant, that Hurt
I’m fat so I’ll act like I think a fat person would.
I’m a loser so I’ll act like a loser would.
We enter into a never ending spiral of self hatred or something.
Really what we’re looking at is a flaw in the English language.
We can’t actually BE any of those things.
Grace and Gratitude
We did this thing when I was a kid when we sat down to eat as a family where we would thank God for our food before we ate.
I never completely understood why and I was never completely comfortable doing it but clearly made an impact on me. This was a practise recommended in the Bible.
Regardless of whether you believe in a God or not for a book to survive as long as it has is pretty mind blowing and it is clearly packed with wisdom. It got me thinking about gratitude.
