Inner Leadership provides you with a kind of workshop: a set of practical tools and exercises that you can use in any way you want, to build the seven skills, abilities, and competencies that will make you antifragile in this time of change.
These are:
- Connect more deeply with who you are at your best
- Make clearer sense of what is happening
- Find more ways to move forward
- Choose the way forward that is best for you (even when you have little information about what is happening or how things are going to turn out)
- Understand and align with your deepest purpose and values
- Describe your chosen way forward in a way that inspires you and others to long to make it happen
- Maintain that inspiration as you move forward
These daily blogs are bringing you some but not all of those tools.
And in exactly the same way that you cannot learn to swim just by reading a book about swimming, so you cannot become antifragile just by reading these blogs. You have to do the work. You have to practice applying the tools and exercises.
To make this easier, The Churning, Inner Leadership comes with a free downloadable electronic playbook or workbook. There’s also a large format paperback workbook/playbook that you can buy. Or you can use pen and paper. But you need to do the practice. Because, just like the old joke says, the way you get to Carnegie Hall is by practice!
Inner Leadership provides you with a practical set of tools and techniques that enable you to get clear on what ‘Carnegie Hall’ looks like for you and create the inspiration that will take you there. But you can’t just read about these tools: you have to practice using them.
Are you clear what your equivalent of Carnegie Hall looks like? Are you willing to do the practice that will take you there?
*Q: “How do you get to Carnegie Hall?”
A: “Practice!”
Adapted from Inner Leadership: a framework and tools for building inspiration in times of change.
