Generally Speaking
It all begins with an idea.
What do I want to do…
I want to improve people’s lives.
That could be as simple as making someone smile. Making their life, today, a little bit easier. Reducing or eliminating barriers from their lives.
However, the problem is the stories we tell ourselves don’t match the outcomes.
Case in point, employment.
We start a job with expectations:
This new job is going to be better then the last job.
I get a chance to start over, I’ll be different this time, it will be different this time.
I’m going to work on the most amazing project and it’s going to open my career up to endless opportunities.
I’m really going to make a difference here and get promoted within the first year.
I’m going to get that huge year end bonus.
I’m going to get that stock option package and cash in big!
Unfortunately, this doesn’t always play out the way you imagined and that leads to disappointment, self-doubt, anger, frustration… a bad place.
I’ve played this scenario out many times. It’s the truest definition of insanity:
Keep doing the same thing and expect different results…
After 25 years, this mouse trap is getting old. So what to do about it?
Simple question:
What do I have to offer, that people will value, and that will ultimately improve their lives?
This has been the foundation of my career these past 25 years, but I’ve only gotten glimpses of it’s success. Sure companies made profits off my work and the teams I’ve lead, but to truly feel accomplished and fulfilled, that has been missing.
So let’s try something different shall we?
Join me on this new journey and let’s learn together how to truly make an impact that is meaningful to you, me and others.
Struggle well.
