Wear Their Shoes

The Wheeler Centre is Melbourne's home for smart, passionate and entertaining public talks on every topic.
Coming out of some of their talks, they have placed "Discussion Markers" around the city of Melbourne.

Here is one I saw on Chapel St last week.

It got me thinking about our current political situation as well as considering good leadership in general.

As a leader (and you are a leader whether if be formal or informal) the concept of "walking a mile in their shoes" is one that continues to be powerful.

What is truly going on for those around you and how do they feel about you?
Do you ask people on your team to do things you would not be willing to do yourself?
Are you giving advantages to those you know or those you can benefit from?
Are you fair to all you deal with?
Do you have a solid understanding of the impact of your decisions and actions?
Do you deliver on your promises?
Do you actions match your words?
Are you really a dick head but no one has told you yet?

While these are fabulous questions for our politicians they are equally as valid for you as a leader.

Dear-Reader, do you wear their shoes?

Can You See Stars?

Img: WikiArt

I love starry nights. Even Van Gough's classic above is fantastic. The problem with living in the city is that they are hard to see.

Last night I drove a friend to a country location where she will be running a workshop today. As I got out of the car, I looked up.

It was stunning.

Without the light pollution you could see the ceiling of the world covered in twinkling points of light. Some of these stars already don't exist and we are just seeing their echoes, others will keep burning for eons to come. Not only was the night sky clear, I also had a moment of clarity on my place in the world and what is truly important.

What about you Dear-Reader?

Are you surrounded by "life pollution" that doesn't enable you to have clarity on what is really happening and your true position in the world?
Can you back away from the smoke and mirrors and truly see what counts for you and however you measure your success?

Too often we get caught up in our own thoughts and lose focus on what really counts.

Maybe it's time to step away from the life pollution and ask yourself, "Can I see stars?"

PS Huge thanks to all those who have taken advantage of the 2 for 1 May Sale on Get More Inspiration. If you want to find out more or get your two copies of the book while I pay postage and give you additional bonuses, head to this website.

Let's Celebrate!

There are so many reasons to celebrate.

Yesterday was Mothers day, my brother also turned 50, my sister has a recently purchased a new house, I just turned 48, my dog is awesome and I have the best wife in the world.

Sometimes you can celebrate for professional reasons as well. Your project finished, you got a new position, you got a bonus, your boss left or even simply that you turned up to work!

As long time readers will know, I am a huge believer that if you make Celebrating Success a Habit, you will make success a habit.

So I wanted to celebrate my recent 48th birthday by giving you a present.

WARNING - THIS CELEBRATION INCLUDES OFFERING A DEAL TO YOU TO BUY SOMETHING (But it is an AWESOME deal!)

Of late I have been receiving some fantastic feedback on my Get More Inspiration book. One person said, "I thought this might be a fluffy motivational book and I was surprised that I really like the additional structure, reflections sections and tips. Great work"

Another said, "My husband never reads books but he really liked yours"

Ok, so I don't want to turn this into a huge sales letter but I really want to celebrate, so here is the deal. If you want a burst of inspiration in a book that is specifically designed NOT to be read (you just flick and read a two page story at a time) then I want you to have a copy of the book. The great news is that it is a workbook as well. It has places to write your ideas and actions, but that means you won't want to lend it to friends. No problem as I have the solution!

For the month of May 2016 if you order the physical Get More Inspiration Book, I will give you a second copy absolutely free so you can give it to a friend. I will also pay the postage to send both copies to you and I will enroll you in my Get More Done in 90 Days ecourse worth almost $300.

So that's $385 worth for only $34.95

How does that sound?

If you are interested click the order button to make it happen.

If you are a eBook kind of person, sorry but I can't do a magic deal for you. What I can do is direct you to the Amazon store where you can get it for only $11.99!

For my US Based buddes, you can hit your Amazon store here.

Maybe you will choose to celebrate some other way and that's ok. What is important is that you always look to celebrate success.

So Dear-Reader how will you celebrate success?

It's a Wrap

Whew! After 4 and a bit weeks of touring around the USA and Canada and meeting interesting people, places and things, we are home.

While it was a great time, there were a few challenges (part of the reason there was no newsletter last week). So what I wanted to do is give you a few quick thoughts and some other bits from the trip.

1) Travel. Nothing makes you appreciate your life more than going to visit other countries (or other parts of your own country) and see how they live. It also expands your mind in a way that you can no longer go back to old thinking.

2) Stretch yourself. We drove over 6,500 km which meant 6 or 7 hours driving some days. This lead to a lot of conversation time in the car which enabled my gorgeous wife and I to connect strongly, share ideas and thoughts and make plans for the future.

3) Have fun. Many of those hours driving we spent singing, telling stupid stories and being creative in some way. We rarely played the radio or music and we had a stack of fun.

4) Talk to people. We had some great conversations with complete strangers, some were challenging due to a difference in values and beliefs and others were intriguing to discover their perspective. The picture above shows us sharing my birthday dinner with over 2,000 people at the Colorado Springs Air Force Academy. They had a very different perspective on things.

5) Plan for things to go wrong. We had a few interesting experiences. When we landed home in Melbourne, our car had a completely flat battery. At the conference we had unexpected snow (See the 90 second video here). Having a few "What if ..." ideas up the sleeve helped.

6) Enjoy the really good things. We were staying in some very cheap accommodation and also some very nice accommodation (that latter had indoor fountains!) Who were we not to enjoy it? You can see a video of it as well as a quick comparison of the Aussie and USA meetings industry here

7) Share it. I have put many photos and stories on Facebook as we have travelled. So many people have commented on how much they enjoyed them and felt like they were having a holiday too (except we paid for it!) We also have catch ups with friends planned who want to hear all the detail about the trip.

8) Repeat it. The value from this travel is so significant that we have more trips planned, the next one is likely to be Vietnam. Why would you stop your own personal growth?

So Dear-Reader have you got anything planned?

PS While I was away, two more episodes of the almost award winning show, Get More Success have been released. You can see/hear them here.
PPS May is a special month for a couple of reasons but you have to wait to next week to find out why (and what the special deal is!)
