- You are more powerful than you think
- Each of us has the skills and insight and power to see what’s happening around us, to create new ideas, and most of all, to change the way others respond and act
- we need leaders who realize that empowered creators, in a network, are able to make a huge dent in the status quo
- Leaders are made, not born
- Leadership is reserved for people who care. Who care enough to see, to connect, to make change happen
- Leveling up is a choice
- it is your turn.
Right now
- They say you can’t, we know you can
- Dance with fear
- Fear cannot be extinguished. Averting your eyes and pretending it doesn’t exist won’t help. Avoiding the opportunity to level up won’t help. Keeping your head down won’t help. The fear points you in the direction you need to go. Toward it, not away
- See, assert, change
- See what’s going on. Learn to notice. Determine where the assets are, the limits, the worldviews.
Assert what you seek to do. Tell a story that resonates. Make your claim, “here, I made this.”
Change the system, the rules, the people around you. All good work revolves around change. If you’re not seeking to change something, no need to go to work today. But we hope you will
- Overwhelmed is temporary
- We can discover that the edges aren’t where we thought they were, that our limits are rarely being tested
- Privacy left the building a long time ago. You are being tracked. Measured. Watched.
- Hard work is far better than busy work
- Sign us up for making a difference
- The crowd is wrong. The critics are wrong. Useful feedback is precious
- Is there someone smarter than you regularly giving you generous feedback?
Do they understand where you’re going and what change you’re trying to make in the world?
- Spend time encouraging other artists.
Teach, with the intent of making change
- 'Here, I made this.' Or possibly, 'Here, we made this.'
- initiating, instigating, becoming an impresario—these are the things that make us fully alive
- See the end before you begin the journey
- To do our work, then, we have to commit to seeing the change before we begin.
Because if we don’t, how will we know when we get there?
- Culture defeats everything
- culture is the deal maker, the deal breaker, the energy that changes everything.
Do culture on purpose. It’s worth it
- It’s personal
- make it matter.
Make it better.
Make change
