Agenda


Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time.We are the ones we have been waiting for.We are the change that we seek.

Barack Obama


I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career.I have lost almost 300 games.26 times, I have been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.I have failed over and over and over again in my life.

And that is why I succeed.

Genuine Conversations No sarcasm or humour!

Be clear and concise (don’t use too many words, and don’t water it down by

using words such as sometimes, maybe, possibly…)

Use the Trademark & Trademark Behaviours as a guide (it gives you permission

to have the conversation)

Focus on the behaviour you have ‘noticed’ & the consequences of that

behaviour (consider whether it is a once off occurrence, a pattern that has

developed, or whether it is something to do with your relationship)

Offer solutions where possible and also how you can get involved in their

solution

Commit to action/s – follow up with them!


Self Image‘What others accept as

the truth about me’

Behaviour

Self Talk‘What I accept as the truth

about me’

What is your plan?

Nothing will change if I don’t change…
