Episode notes
High Performance as a Feeling
- High performance is more of a feeling than an accomplishment; it's about being in flow and having fun, even during stress.
- Purpose-driven work contributes to this flow state, aligning actions with a larger vision.
Preaching Beyond the Converted
- Don't just preach to the converted; engage with those who don't share your values to promote change and understanding.
- However, ensure there's hope for change and some receptiveness to your message before engaging.
Effective Communication for Change
- When suggesting changes, start with curiosity and understanding, not criticism.
- Make others feel heard before presenting your ideas, and focus on shared visions.
