Who is writing this post? What do I know about this topic? More than most people.
I have been to the top of the mountain, and I have started again from ground zero with challenges and seemingly impossible odds staring me in the face. You can read my story and the genesis of my 3Q Leadership work…you can read my bio OR you can reflect upon what causes someone to be passionate about your ability to not simply play to strengths but to transform changes, challenges, stressors AND even failures into a powerful lever for our greatest potential and results. Potential and results that speak to your talent, your purpose your ability to make a difference in a way that will positively impact your life and the lives of others.
Life and career were complicated enough before we entered this new VUCA (volatility-uncertainty, change, ambiguity) world. Is there an upside? Yes!
Success means recognizing and accelerating your ability to learn/re-learn, rethinking and finding new ways of communicating, collaborating and executing that help you use what is to create what can be in yourself and in others. It means actualizing your greatest potential, and this potential is ignited when you recognize YOUR ability to make a difference. New Mindset-New Result.
Here are 10 Ways to Re-focus, Re-Purpose-Repower!
