When you have a big vision, it’s all too easy to give in to the voice inside you that shouts, “Who do you think you are to do this?” As Jonathan discovers in this minisode of Episode 24, leaders must overcome any self-limiting beliefs and just take it one step at a time.

26d ago38:57

38:57

Leaders challenge what is now: the status quo. And that always provokes resistance from others who prefer, for whatever reason, for things to stay just as they are. As a leader, it’s not about protecting yourself from the barbs. It’s about expressing your vision of change so it becomes meaningful to them too. So meaningful that it quells their resi…

26d ago1:21

1:21

As Jonathan says in this minisode from Episode 23, each of us is complex. And that’s a good thing.

Realizing a vision of meaningful change takes a lot.

When only you can see what could be, the world can be a lonely place.

There are lots of things in our lives that are important to us. But “important” is all relative. Something can be important to us right now but be easily replaced by something else tomorrow.

We are each on our own journey. We can travel the very same roads and yet see very different things from one another. And even when something draws our attention, we can choose to turn away or not.
