“Onward and upward” is a mindset that requires a few key ingredients: optimism, empathy, curiosity and action.
- Optimism is the ability to overcome adversity despite the circumstances.
- Empathy is the ability to understand situations from another’s perspective with no judgment. The ability to choose to respond rather than to react.
- Curiosity. To be effective be curious: curious about how people are feeling, curious about why things happen, curious about the future, curious about steps to take to navigate difficult waters.
- Action. The winners are the doers. Talk is cheap, action speaks.
When we make changes by design vs. default we can craft a future the supports the growth we deserve.
Perfection is not a standard, progress is.
With 80 to 90 working days left in 2023 I’m opening up 10 slots for “what’s possible” strategy sessions. Because it’s not how you start the game it’s how you finish.
Onward and upward.
