Create New Futures

“In my mind, there’s nothing more powerful than a leader who truly believes in their team and in their ability to do something amazing - even beyond what they’re there to do on paper.”

“I define empathy as the ability to put yourself in somebody else’s shoes and to understand and connect with what they are feeling - to feel what they’re feeling. You first have to understand the world as they see it through their eyes.”

Good listeners listen to what people say, and great listeners notice what people donâ€™t say. When you know the neuroscience of listening, you realize that people can think up to nine times faster than they can speak. So the first thing they say is probably between ten and fourteen percent of what they are thinking.

â€œThe first trend is that you have to actively seek out talent. Those days of positioning yourself as, â€˜Oh, people would be so lucky if they got to work hereâ€™ are long gone. And so, you have to actively promote yourself as a leader and your brand as well as the employer brand and you have to actively attract people to your organization.â€

"Development is not in solving all the contradictions of life, but rather in learning to hold and contain the greater contradiction of living."

â€œThe future pulls us out of the past, and pulls toward the dream, and whatâ€™s possible.â€

â€œTrue leadership means youâ€™re in the game. People donâ€™t see you as someone that wonâ€™t do the same thing that they do.â€

I look at entrepreneurs, particularly founder-inclined people, like modern day superheroes. They are the people that are responsible for taking on the biggest challenges, with the longest, toughest odds, and overcoming incredible obstacles. And if and when theyâ€™re successful, theyâ€™re likely to change the world.â€

â€œThe most important word in every sentence is the last word of that sentence.â€

â€œThe status quo is always going to be the result of entropy and inertia, unless somebody takes action to do something remarkably different.â€

â€œFinding the courage to speak up and challenge publicly in an environment of executives far above me - people who I wanted to be like - without having that title was really challenging for me. The moment I did was the moment my career trajectory completely changed.â€

â€œI think of OKRs as a way to stand with one foot on the side of the river in strategy and another foot on the side of the river in daily activities.â€

Mindfulness is basically focus - that I can focus on what I choose to focus on and not everything else. And focus is so powerful in business. Our ability to focus on what we want, to me, does create business results. So, I see it to be totally compatible with business.
