The Gift that is You

I work with talented highly motivated people every day who are pursuing their dreams but are bogged down in the daily work of building a business. After spending a weekend at an executive coaching conference in Puerto Vallarta I gained some fresh perspective to see where I’d gotten bogged down in building mine.

 

Finding this blog post by Seth Godin, author of Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us, was quite refreshing.

 

Here is a quick excerpt…

 

You matter
 

  • When you love the work you do and the people you do it with, you matter.

  • When you are so gracious and generous and aware that you think of other people before yourself, you matter.

  • When you leave the world a better place than you found it, you matter.

  • When you continue to raise the bar on what you do and how you do it, you matter.

  • When you teach and forgive and teach more before you rush to judge and demean, you matter.

  • When you touch the people in your life through your actions (and your words), you matter.
     

What I know for sure is that unleashing the gifts, talents, and the synthesis of your experiences are a killer formula for business. They give you distinction, positioning, pricing leverage, and have the ability to attract clients who love working with you!
