Inner Leadership provides a kind of workshop: a practical set of tools and exercises.
Together you can use them to build the seven skills, abilities, or competencies that will make you antifragile in this time of change:
- 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
- Understand how that aligns with your deepest purpose and values
- Describe your chosen way forward in a way that inspires you and other people to long to make it happen
- Maintain that inspiration to overcome the obstacles that will inevitably arise as you move forward
These daily blogs are bringing you some but not all of those tools.
And in 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 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 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, “How do you get to Carnegie Hall?”, the answer to what will make you stronger and more valuable in this time of change is “Practice!”
Inner Leadership provides you with a very practical set of tools 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.
Do you know what your equivalent of Carnegie Hall looks like? Are you willing to practise the skills that will take you there?
