Pragmatic Technologies for Life and Business Success®
This week’s reflection point: I am here in Miami, Florida, meeting with our global growth circle (Suzanne Bates, Guido Quelle, Phil Symchych, Bart Sayle, Steven Gaffney, Chad Barr) facilitated by Alan Weiss. The essence of our meeting is to challenge ourselves to think bigger and to impact our lives and businesses and that of our clients. Here are some of the insights shared by our group:
What key question should you ask yourself or your clients to raise the bar?
- What do I need to let go of, so I can do what I need to do?
- What was my most recent success and how can I replicate it?
- How can I increase what I most enjoy doing and decrease what I don’t?
- What does it look like for me to be the world’s best?
- What does think bigger mean to me?
- Where am I not challenging myself?
- Why am I at less than my full potential?
- Do I have the courage to do what it takes to be successful?
Best implemented growth ideas:
- Calling buyers and bankers
