Disrupt: What Do You Want?
Everyday we do things in a certain way. We have routines, habits, and ways to interact in the world both conscious and unconscious. This is perfectly normal. However, since one definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result -- I want you to disrupt on a larger scale today.
Answer these questions. What do you actually want your spoken communication to be? How do you want to be heard? What is important to you? What needs to happen? Now, think about how you are entering the world based upon your answers.
If you wish to be taken seriously or viewed as a leader then you have to lead. Have an opinion and be well-informed in that point of view. Listen carefully and lift up those around you when they have good ideas. Educate gently when others need guidance. If you have different goals, then your tactics will be as well.
The only constants in life seem to be that adaptation and flexibility are the strongest indicators for human success. I will add to these, Intention. When you know what you want, achieving it becomes possible.
