The Vital Thing Your 2022 Leadership Goals May Be Missing
When you think of New Year’s Resolutions, what do you think of?
A fatter savings account?
Exercise?
Sobriety?
What about your thinking habits themselves?
When it comes to making changes to our routines, we often set our sights high, and maybe we even take some action on the steep goals we give ourselves, but there’s one thing many of us forget that can pull the rug out from under our noble intentions: changing our internal scripts.
There’s nothing sexy about that, but what people forget is that behind those 6-pack abs and growing bank account is consciously maintaining the mental script behind doing the daily crunches.
If the past two years have taught us anything, it’s that maintaining the status quo is more dangerous than taking risks. Sure, the idea of innovating is evident, but without a corresponding shift in thinking, it’s the equivalent of spoiling your sober January with “just one drink” once the New Year’s Eve hangover wears off.
“I’ve always done it this way,” “I’ve never done it that way,” and other iterations of this fear-based thinking belong in the past, and ironically, if you continue telling yourself and your team those things, so will you.
Flipping the internal script, while simple, is NOT easy. As a comedian, learning to reframe my inner monologue with curiosity — “How can this be better?” “What else could I say to communicate this?” “What’s another way I can approach this?” — transforms my outer monologue into a better one.
The best part: you don’t have to be a comedian to do it.
If you want to innovate, inspire and engage your team in 2022, constantly rewriting your internal script HAS to become part of your habits, and I want to help. On Friday January 28th at noon (eastern), I’m offering a brand new webinar with limited availability to those of you committed to innovation and personal growth in 2022. Take the first steps to create the new habits that will make you the innovator and leader your customers, employees, and colleagues need you to be by thinking like a comedian — no crunches necessary.
