Don’t let what’s happening in the world right now determine who you are.
Many of us might be blaming these turbulent times for preventing us from reaching our outcomes. That’s certainly a normal response. While, yes, so much is clearly out of our control, it’s more helpful for you, your organisation and your family to focus on what you CAN control. Here’s a way of approaching your goals that might help you shake off that funk.
In this video, I challenge the well-known maxim of starting with the end in mind. I parallel the floating of a company through an IPO with floating new parts of your identity using IPO (it’s a different mnemonic) to achieve your goals.
It’s only when we change our identity that true transformation has any chance of succeeding.
Until next time…
