Koska minulla oli tarvitse pitkää oppimista, erilaisia asioita, ristiriitaa. Minun täytyy olla tietty määrä ristiriitaa elämässäni. Me olemme 20 vuotta myöhemmin. Jos minä en saa sitä kotona...

No, no, no. No, get it at home. Get it at home.

For 50 years. And your variety is not superior to my consistency. It's not. Here's what's really important about this conversation. We'll let the listeners decide. Here's what's really important about the conversation. It is about...

Yeah, often it's one of the places where I'll start coaching people is, okay, let's come up with a list. Like, what do you need most from work? Give me your top five. And how well are you meeting these needs? You, not this corporation that is doing this to you. How well are you meeting these needs right now? And then how might we evolve this job so that it gets closer to what you need?

And if you can't get it here, then let's plot an exit for where you can find it. I love the bottom-up and the top-down needs and the anthropologist's judgment-free perspective of ourselves. I want to get into one more sandbox on this, Frances. Yes.

I'm going to describe this one as add a zero. Yeah, I love this. And there is a point, you and I talk to a lot of companies, we work with a lot of great teams. There is a point early on in every conversation we have with leaders and teams of leaders where you say some variation on

Oh, interesting. Those goals are terrific. And what would happen if we added a zero? You also sometimes call this the magic dust question, where if you could sprinkle magic dust, what would be different tomorrow than it is today? It is a totally electric moment when you give people license to really dream.

And the path may be one step at a time, but what I hear you saying to people is, let's pick a destination that's worthy of you. You're going to get up every day and do something hard. And I need it to feel, I want you to give it your all. I don't want it to be...

Ja jos ihmiset yleensä kysyvät aikavälineistä, niin ajattelen paljon Peter Druckersin näkökulmasta, että ihmiset yleensä ylittävät, mitä he voivat tehdä vuoden aikana, mutta he ylittävät, mitä he voivat tehdä viiden vuoden aikana. Ja jotenkin aikaväline, jota minä yleensä pystyn ihmisiä tekemään, on kolme tai viiden vuoden aikana.

Aloitetaan 3-5 vuotta sitten. Jos haluat yrittää unohdella, ja minusta sinä olet lyhyempi, mutta jos haluat yrittää unohdella, mitä elämäsi voi tuntua 3-5 vuotta sitten, mitä voisi tapahtua? Mitä voisi mennä oikein? Kun ihmiset ovat yrittäneet miettiä niin paljon siitä, mitä voisi mennä väärin, niin laitetaan todella jotain arviointia siitä, mitä voisi mennä oikein.

Hän oli tyhjämpi. Minusta tuntuu, että tämä on todella provokatiivista ajattelua, ja minä rakastan sitä. AI-vaiheessa, miten uudistaisimme tämän näkökulman? Ja mielestäni se on hyvin tehtävä. Tässä olen myös kertonut työskentelymme.

is that a huge amount of energy gets released. Once you figure out what the ambition is, a huge amount of energy gets released from simply beginning. Oh yeah. Like taking action, addressing problems, choosing to be in motion. It's not just an antidote to anxiety, which it is.

Jos ajattelisit tämän ilmaisen vaikutuksen, niin tämän järjestämisen jälkeen,

And the license to dream about what could go right as we start to move forward, there is just tremendous power to being in motion. You know, I would have these coaching conversations with people and we'd be halfway through and I got them in touch with their ambition. And then they were like, all right, you know what, I'm going to schedule a meeting with you in June.

I love that as a summary mantra bumper sticker for this second part of the equation, which is to get started on Dreaming Big.
