CLARITY KICKSTART: January 13, 2014
“I knew I wasn’t necessarily the smartest person in the room, or the most talented, or the most intuitive. But even if I was surrounded by people who were more talented, I knew I could surpass them just by consistently showing up and doing the work.”
~ Jeff Olson
Coaching Tip For The Week:
How many times have you compared yourself to others – your competitors or colleagues, for example – and felt like you couldn’t measure up?
I’d like to offer two quick coaching tips this week.
First, stop the comparisons.
Definitely learn from your role models, competitors, colleagues, and anyone else you admire. But focus on bettering your best, not filling someone else’s definition of success.
Second, focus on showing up and doing the work.
Whether in business, sports, or life, it’s not the smartest or most talented that live up to their full potential – it’s those of us who show up, day after day, even on the days we don’t feel like, and do what needs to be done.
