Welcome to The Beacon. Creating Buy-in’s short newsletter designed to shine a light on the nuances of leadership and give a fresh perspective on how to move forward.
Cultivate “Calling”
Three bricklayers are asked “what are you doing?” The first says I am laying bricks. The second says I am building a church. The third says I am building the house of God.
The first bricklayer has a job. The second as a career. The third has a calling.
Reflect on how the work you are already doing can make a positive contribution to society.
Think about how you can change your current work to enhance its connection to your core values.
Throw Out Your Goals
We’ve mentioned James Clear before. Love this take on the saying “we don’t rise to the level of our goals, we fall to the level of our systems”. Be sure when you’re coaching, you’re highlighting this to who it is you’re trying to help. Their habits and systems make up who they are and mold who they want to become. If you need them to change, or they want to change, make them aware of their systems!
