How do you 'get going' in the morning? People 'plug in' with exercise, reading, journaling, morning coffee.
Separate ideas from delivery. MasterClass shares great lessons, yet I can't always connect with the speaker. Fitness guru Robin Arzon conjures up huckster Tony Robbins for me, but shares good ideas. Be open to asking, "how can we do this better?"
She asks, "what's your mantra?" She suggests that we fill in, "I am ________." Match how we live with our identity, habits,
So, what are we?
"Share something great." I am a sharer. A quote, recipe, concept, book, movie, haiku. If you say, "I don't have any great ideas," then find some.
Collect useful content. Be an aggregator, a thief of what works. What principles guided Dean Smith, Geno Auriemma, Pete Newell, John Wooden, Bob Knight, Pat Summitt, Mike Krzyzewski?
Ask better questions. Be curious. How does that work? If you see something that sounds outrageous or conflicts with your beliefs and values, invest a little time to check.
