If At First You Don't Succeed

If At First You Don't Succeed

One of my favorite lines, "If at first you don't succeed, try something you've already been successful at and then build on it. And if someone tells you it's impossible, then look them in the face and say "Nothing is Impossible! It just hasn't been invented yet. Let's just invent it!""

Doubting Thomases...they're prevalent in any organization and it takes building on some wave of success to keep them in line. I would reward people for screwing up, even if only for the reason they're trying, taking the plunge and diving into the deep end to see what will come to the surface. If you don't try you don't know if it's possible and if you do the same old same old then you'll get the same results and few companies can survive long term on that.

I'm a Shadow Coach™. We are anthropologists. The truth comes through us, not from us and we make sense out of chaos. When help our clients look deeply into how any organization operates and then contextualize it for their 'worlds' it will create a vehicle for moving forward with energy and momentum. Sometimes it's not looking at doing new things; it's looking at how to do things in a new way. All in all, you know where you're successful. How can you build on it?
