There are two things we don't tolerate well as business leaders - risk and, counterintuitively, success. When it comes to risk, we would rather enjoy the reward without having to experience the associated uncertainty. We might fantasize about leading a life of leisure without having to put ourselves out there, while still collecting the same or better rewards. Interestingly, we also tend to retreat as the very success we have been working towards draws closer. In this episode, we build up your tolerance for both the risk involved in rewards, and for success itself.What You'll Learn From This Episode:How risk intolerance can keep us from the rewards we seek and has us fighting with reality dailyHow success intolerance might have us quitting just before reaching our goalHow to foster risk-taking and securing success in your team members in order to tap into their full capabilityAs Referenced In This Episode:Join my asynchronous online book club here for monthly reading selections.Recommended Related Episodes:Episode 11 - Self SabotageEpisode 27 - Fail Fast To SucceedEpisode 37 - Do The Uncomfortable ThingEpisode 52 - Self Efficacy & Taking The HillEpisode 62 - Initial Resistance - When To Ignore It & When To Honor ItLet's Connect:Schedule your free consultation with me to get your questions answered live. Join my email list for weekly content to help you on your journey to Peak Performance & Peak Satisfaction and be the first to receive invitations to my live events. Connect with me on social for daily inspiration:Follow me on LinkedInFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookFollow me on TikTokSubscribe to me on YouTubeFor More Information:Check out my clients' wins as evidence of what is possible for businesspeople everywhere.

The Olympics are taking place at the time of this podcast episode recording. We are reminded of the outstanding athletes and coaches who work together for some jaw-dropping results. If there was one attribute that we could assume from them, it would be coachability. Taking constructive feedback or outcomes that weren't what we hoped on the chin and putting it to good use to learn from it. In business, we may recoil at the feedback from our business results or individual results taking it personally or thinking that something went wrong because we did poorly.

You have likely been told and also cautioned others to "know your audience", but we aren't often given the tools to know and deeply engage our audience. There are countless personality tests used in businesses today, such that we can get lost in the 70 question surveys and interpretations.
