Lancefield on the Line Michael Bungay Stanier: How to start doing something that matters
Summary:
How many of us set goals for ourselves? It might be in one of those dreadful HR processes at work. Or a memorable event during the year, like New Year or your birthday. We write them down, sometimes share them with family and friends, work at them. But how many of them help us really get somewhere?
Too often we settle for the status quo, or baby steps. But what would it take to do something that really matters in life. To develop goals, Worthy Goals, that are thrilling, important and daunting.
In this discussion, Michael Bungay-Stanier or MBS, the author, coach, and speaker shares the highlights of his book ‘How to Begin: start doing something that matters’. He sets out a process to find your Worthy Goal, commit to it, and cross the threshold to begin. He challenges us to avoid a life half-lived. To unlock our greatness to work on the hard things.
