Quick Guide to Gaining World-Class Clarity (Take the "Get to Know Yourself" Questionnaire)
(Scroll to the bottom to view the video.)
Lack of clarity is the death of productivity AND joy.
Iāve seen it personally (... yes, I admit it!), and Iāve seen it in countless individuals and organizations. Whether itās clarity on any given day, for a project or for a long-term mission, clarity is more important than you may even realize.
See, what we think and what we say to ourselves over and over again... we tend to believe. Take it even a step further. These thoughts and comments we make to ourselves (our internal dialogue) can manifest in our actions and eventually in the life we create for ourselves.
Clarity is the starting line for our best and most joyous selves.
Our ship needs to know where to sail, and we must believe the destination is not too remote. We must also know WHY we care so deeply... really why.

I am so excited to share a recent discussion I had with Amanda Kaufman (former senior consultant, Accenture).
Amanda shares what it's like to be a woman in corporate AmericaĀ ... some of the successes she had (which there were many) and then quite candidly opens up about some of the challenges and struggles she had.

Remarkable Tactics to Make This YOUR Breakout Year
(Scroll to the bottom to view the video.)
In this week's Facebook Live video we talked about the importance of dreaming big.
Consider the following, and start thinking about YOUR big dream:
- In 1976, Steve Wozniak shared with Hewlett Packard (his employer at the time) the idea of creating a personal computer. He was rejected. So he and his friend Steve Jobs got to work themselves on their dream of individual creativity for each user
- Martin Luther King had a dream that someday there would be equality for all.
- When Michael Phelps was 7 years old, he had a dream that there were no limits on what he could achieve.
Is there anything big or small that you dream of doing? Maybe a trip, running a half marathon, a career change? The books Peak and Talent Is OverratedĀ are just two (but impactful) books that have proven over and over that you are only limited by what you think is possible. So start dreaming big!
Why is this SO important?
Believe It and Become It.

One World-Class Tool to Crush Negative Thoughts and Excuses
(Scroll to the bottom to view the video.)
Negative self-talk crushes confidence. Period.
One rabbit hole you donāt want to go down if you have an ambition thatās important to you.
If you want to crush negative thoughts AND excuses and then get busy with progress, hereās what you need to start practicing today: positive re-framing.
What is it?
A way of acknowledging the struggle you're having and then use it to your advantage.
How does it work?
It activates your RAS or your reticular activating system which is a part of your brain that controls and serves as a filter of sorts that only lets the important information through. Thinking about buying a certain type of new car and then thatās all you see on the road? Thatās your RAS filtering out all the other cars that donāt matter to you.
Why is this important?
If you over emphasize negative thoughts and make excuses, that is what your RAS will think is important. Guess what? Negative thoughts will compound as will your excuses.

Learn How to Be More Purposeful (3 World-Class Tips)
(Scroll to the bottom to view the video.)
Whether you consider yourself a world-class performer or not, you have a lot in common with those among the elite either professionally, academically or athletically. You may sometimes fall off your purpose or lose it entirely. āIs this really what I am meant to do in the long-term?ā āWhat is my purpose or the best way for me to make progress today?ā āI need to switch gears, so how do find my (new) purpose?ā Athletes retire or get injured, senior leaders switch careers, academics change fields of interest, so they are not immune either! Lacking clarity on purpose can feel like the middle place, and it doesnāt tend to be too comfortable (at least not in my experience). Partly because we are not making progress towards something where we are making an impact for ourselves and/or for others.
The good news is that we can learn from what world-class performers do a little differently to be more purposeful, so we can move towards being world-class a...
