Make Yourself A Pilot Project
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing” – Helen Keller
Having overcome great adversity, this inspirational adage encourages boldness and audacity.
Recently, a coaching colleague of mine asked me what I thought were very impactful questions.
“If you were at the end of your life, what would be important for you to bring to the world?”
“What do you truly want to create?”
She graciously engaged me to identify what would make a difference in the heart of the matter of my life, as I currently saw it – she worked with me, in this conversation, to get to an essence. She stayed strong to go beyond where I’d likely get to on my own, keeping it a “main thing” question
I often ask clients, “Knowing what you now know, what do you most want to accomplish next?”
Are you frustrated with anyone or anything? What might be your complaint? (as a request?)
What might be, or could be, your biggest disappointment/commitment? What do you envision?
What do you see is possible for yourself? Your life? Your world? What do you most yearn for?
We can all ask “What kind of world would this world be if everyone in it were just like me?”
Well, we all have the opportunity to make ourselves A Pilot Project of what we envision/want.
This is obviously not for wimps or sissies. It requires staying fresh, renewed, vibrant, persistent…
What’s your “next big thing’? Can you be a pathfinder, a pioneer, a thought leader, a maverick?
Can you take yourself and others to “Where No One Has Gone Before”?
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Say the words that you most need and want to say to yourself for you to be true – be relentless.
We suggest you be a force of nature in your own life. Maybe even tap into other forces of innovative nature, such as Adam Grant, a professor of management and psychology at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, author of Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World, the #1 national bestseller and New York Times bestseller and Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success, named one of best books of 2013 by Amazon, the Financial Times, and the Wall Street Journal– as well as one of Oprah’s riveting reads, Fortune‘s must-read business books, andWashington Post‘s books every leader should read.
“No one wants to hear everything that’s in your head. They just want you to live up to what comes out of your mouth.” – Adam Grant
I would be remiss (maybe even irresponsible versus response-able?) not to keep up with you and I’d also be remiss not to let you know what we are up to and to explore new ways to collaborate.
Again,
Make Yourself A Pilot Project
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing” – Helen Keller
