“You know I still get nervous speaking in front of people. Speaking reminds me of pitching in that way. No matter how much you prepare, there is always that anxiety to perform. Those butterflies. You learn to embrace that stress. Eventually you realize that stress is what pushes you to perform at your peak.... But man the roller coaster! I told myself that after my career was over I would live my life quietly, out of the public eye, with no chance of embarrassing myself in front of large groups of people. Yet...here I am!” PeopleKnowsMenWayStillsMatterEyeRealizingChanceCareersGroupsFrontsAnxietyStressEmbraceNervousButterflyLiving My LifeEmbarrassingPitchingHere I AmRoller CoasterCoastersPublic EyeLarge Groups Author:Jim Abbott
“Most organizations only focus on WHAT they do and HOW they do it - tactics and strategies - and they aren't even aware that this thing called the WHY exists. Focusing on only two pieces of a three piece puzzle leaves an organization, or a career, inherently out of balance. Being out of balance, only operating on two of the three pieces, shows up in different ways - increased stress, loss of passion, obsession with what your competition is doing, being forced to play the price game, trouble differentiating. These are all signs that the WHY is missing.” WayTwoDifferentPlayShowsPassionThreeGamesLossCareersFocusPiecesTroubleMissingBalanceOrganizationStressStrategyCompetitionObsessionDifferent WaysPuzzlesTacticsTactics And Strategy Author:Simon Sinek
