As a leader, you can have the biggest message but when your ego extinguishes your ability to listen and respond with grace, you won’t produce an effect. Your power is useless. Your content does not land.

If you have anchored your leadership vision to the mission of changing lives, you’re in for a rude shock. A coach cannot change other people’s lives. Even when you hold them by the neck and force them to comply, you cannot change people.

I have worked with many teams where people don’t ask for help, simply because they fear judgment or they assume “people don’t have time to help”. But asking for help is not just a recommendation, it is a requirement so the best teams can form. There is a reason we need to ask help and Coach Cherry shows a before-your-eyes demonstration on the rationale for asking help.

You want to be successful? Wake up early, at least 3 hours before your official day begins. This is the time the 3 wise men need to be welcomed, fed and nourished. Make everyday a miracle day so you don't need to negotiate for better energies each day because you have mastered and won it at the unconscious level.

You can be competent, but if you are not able to guard your message and make it move things, your fluency is really just a string of words. Fluency is a capacity or a resource but until it moves the world to some place better, you’re not going to be abundant and successful. You’re just going to be, at best, smart.

When you feel reciprocated for your contributions in the team, it is easy to engage in abundant generosity and gratitude. But more often than not, especially when you expect it the most, it doesn’t come to you. Your work is unseen or your effort is invisible. You can choose to disengage, but why even care for external validation or seek permission from the gatekeepers? You don’t have to wait for attention, or be chosen by the perceived power source. You create your best version and contribute from the energy, mindset and the skills from your best baseline and that is already perfect.

And that means we are teachable.
