Can't Get There From Here

If I do what I’ve always done. I’ll get what I always gets. Bet you’ve heard that before. It’s a pretty solid perspective on why it’s important to break beyond usual convention, try new things and stretch into uncomfortable places in order to truly rise to the next level of … whatever. It’s bigger than that, though. There are two thoughts in particular that came up for me this week: The first is around the practice of adapting even the most mundane and habitual activities so that there’s a freshness every time. The other, and this is a bit deeper, is about the idea that if I’m looking at a thing for how it’s always been and how I want it to be, and talk about what I want, what I’m doing is actually perpetuating the not having of it. Because the very act of putting it in future tense, means that there’s a lack of it now. The trick is being so committed to the belief of what WILL be that it exists for me in the present, even if there isn't any substantial, tangible, physical proof of it. Sound a little woo woo for ya? Kind of is, but ... it works. And Mother Nature taught me the lesson this week. What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good question. That’s what Cathy Brooks thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of radically honest conversation about ... well ... everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, this weekly podcast invites curiosity. Curiosity about not what people do, but why they do it. It's about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy helps clients unearth and untether their own internal leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages. Recently Cathy joined Paris-based start-up OpenBubble as Co-Founder and CEO of North America. OpenBubble’s mission is to break through issues of isolation and separation in society by creating a powerful way for people to connect and talk – with no agenda. #cantgettherefromhere #newhabits #tinyhabits #transformation #adaptability #OpenBubble #Conversation #connection #TalkUnleashed #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash
