The Churning, Inner Leadership provides you with a kind of self-leadership workshop. It’s a set of frameworks, exercises, and practical tools that you can use to build and maintain the seven skills or competencies that will make you antifragile in this time of change.
Those seven skills are:
- Connect more deeply with who you are at your best
- Get a clearer understanding of what is happening around you
- Find more options for moving forward
- Easily choose the way forward that is best aligned with you, even when you have little information about what is happening or how things are going to turn out
- Consistently align your actions with your deepest purpose and values
- Describe your chosen way forward in a way that makes you and the people around you long to make it happen
- Maintain that inspiration as you move forward
These daily blogs are bringing you some (but not all) of the frameworks and tools that will enable you to do this.
But in the same way that you cannot learn to swim just by reading a book about swimming, so you also cannot become antifragile just by reading these blogs. You have to do the work. You have to practice using the tools and exercises.
To make this easier, The Churning, Inner Leadership comes with a free downloadable electronic workbook or playbook. There’s also a large format paperback playbook/workbook that you can buy here. Or you can simply use pen and paper. But like the old joke* says, the way you get to Carnegie Hall is by practice! You have to do the practice.
Inner Leadership provides you with a workshop and a set of practical 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 version of Carnegie Hall looks like — the ultimate destination you are trying to get to? Are you willing to do the practice that will take you there?
* The old joke is:
“Excuse me, can you tell me how I get to Carnegie Hall?”
“Practice!”
