Responding In Pivotal Moments: The principles of mastery

Episode #308 // It’s pretty rare that you’re faced with a decision that’s final or irreversible. And when one comes along, it’s normally pretty easy to recognize — you can sense the gravity of the moment, and the potential consequences that lie ahead. But, as I look back on my experiences, some of the most significant decisions I’ve ever made, in terms of my life direction, didn’t seem to be that big a deal at the time. I made them using a liberal dose of gut feel, not suspecting for a moment how consequential they would ultimately turn out to be.I recently had occasion to think about one of the most pivotal moments in Emma’s life, which also had a profound effect on mine. For those of you who don’t know, Em is my daughter. She’s also the producer of the No Bullsh!t Leadership podcast, and CEO of our business, Your CEO Mentor. I was reflecting on the path that led us to where we are now, and it took me back to a brief but pivotal moment which, to tell you the truth, could have gone either way.This episode is packed with examples, including Em’s story. I hope that it helps you to recognize these unexpected moments when they arrive in your career, and to respond accordingly. You can never know, at the time, how critical these decisions will be… which is why you have to be prepared for every moment!————————YOU'RE INVITED TO: THE 10X YOUR LEADERSHIP PROMOTABILITY BOOTCAMPRUNNING FROM: 6-8 August, 2024Join my free LIVE 3-session bootcamp where I’ll share 3 proven strategies to accelerate your career advancement.Don’t miss out on this opportunity to unlock your potential and secure your next promotion.
