The stories we tell ourselves become our worlds.  Perspective is everything, consciousness drives our ability to evolve or devolve; and the desire to make sense of our personal story is something a task that our brain is hard-wired to perform.

The power of YOUR story must be mined because its power lies not in what you have accomplished or not accomplished, but  in the pivot points, the accomplishments that touch your heart, the wins that are milestone markers AND moments of challenge that (if properly used) can help you develop a new sense of self, a better view of your own potential.

From birth to death, the power of our own personal story follows us, and it’s ability to inspire our best self, our best work and help us build our best life is as real as it’s power to create disempowerment, underachievement, overachievement at any cost.

What is YOUR story?  How will you look upon your journey with eyes that will help you see your strengths with greater clarity, and use challenges, failures as a lever for your greatest potential? Q1: improved focus, ideation, innovative thought  Q2: improved resiliency, risk tolerance, empowerment, communication, collaboration  Q3: enhancement of the intrinsic motivators, the timeless values that drive sustainability-courage, integrity, purpose

The power of your story, is the fire that can light the power of your greatest potential.  Your ability to see your story with new eyes, eyes that build on three Q skills starts with your desire to look at your story and the story of others with eyes that search a meaning and purpose that aligns with the courage, integrity, purpose, humanity required to take us all forward as one people sharing one planet. In a world of constant change, challenges, competition; at a time of titanic paradox where our ability to develop technological, scientific advances that are REMARKABLE remain dimmed by social, economic, environmental, organizational problems...Your story, my story, our stories and the way we choose to see them can either enhance our reduce our ability to build better lives, better organizations and contribute to a better world.

Two years ago, I was challenged by the author of one of my favorite leadership books (Serve To Lead) James Strock to write my story.  It was a challenge that scared me, it was a challenge that took me weeks to accomplish.  And, it is a challenge I am grateful for because it not only helped open my eyes, and hopefully inspire others, but it became a great lesson in listening to the stories of others without judgment, without bias, with a simple focus on finding their “inner awesome”.  And, it became a story, and a great relationship with a great man who inspired me to write my forthcoming book; I Will Not Be Broken-The Call To Build A Better Future

What is your story?  How will you use it to empower your greatest potential?  How will you listen to the stories of those you lead, work for, befriend and love?  The challenge to see our own stories with new eyes and hear the stories of others with new ears calls to us all!  The call to build new ways of thinking, new ways of listening that take us forward is upon us!  Answering this call is a powerful step forward.

From Now To How: Building Social, Digital and Cross Generational Leadership
The need to go from NOW to HOW is critical. Leadership starts with our ability to imagine, inspire, innovate and communicate forward.

Hope lies in not simply playing to strengths, but to seizing every challenge, change, stressor and failure as an opportunity to grow, evolve and expand the power of our minds, the strength of our brains and the capacity of our hearts.

Courage lies in our ability develop a whole new mind set, skill set and heart set that optimizes the unbridled passion, purpose and potential of humans to do better, rather than simply living or working faster than ever before.

Strength lies in finding a common language, a common message that touches the heads, hearts and mind of many.

Success at the speed of change is the mantra of courageous pioneers, avid learners and doers, pragmatic optimists and change-makers, transformational catalysts…
leaders and builders of a better way forward.

Leadership and success in disruptive times is a 3Q Equation.  An equation that is different because it speaks to USING your strengths AND challenges, stressors, even failures to build:

Q1: Ideation, focus on what counts, ability to learn-relearn

Q2: Emotional intelligence; self-awareness, relationship building, resiliency, risk tolerance, communication, collaboration

Q3: Purpose, integrity, courage, humanity; intrinsic motivators that are the glue of great leadership and the linchpin of sustainability.

 

Are you ready to optimize your talent, your purpose, your potential by looking at the challenges and opportunities you face with new eyes? Eyes that take you forward faster and better.  Eyes that help you optimize your potential and the potential of others?  Will you remain entrenched in ways of thinking, doing and communicating that may have worked well in the past, but will not take you forward? 

I challenge you to see the titanic opportunity before you.  It is an opportunity that should not be missed, because our individual and collective ability to enfranchise the intrinsic motivators, the universal values that drive sustainability, while building NEW ways of thinking, communicating, leading is real and critical.  Will you build your 3Q Edge™?  Is time to optimize your potential?  Carpe diem!  May 2014 be a year of outstanding learning, living and leadership!
