Another highlight of the Neuroleadership Summit in San Francisco was the gala dinner, with Kenny Moore (Kenny The Monk) who shared his very inspiring story and thoughts on changing the corporate world. I asked him after dinner if we could video our conversation as I knew he’d inspire more than just me – it was one of those moments that leave you feeling privileged and wishing you could share it with everyone. So I hope you’re encouraged, cheered on to step out and take the risk you’ve been contemplating, and live the dream you sometimes squash.
Seize the Day!!! And make yourself accountable so you don’t shrink back in any way. If you can see it, you can achieve it. This is absolutely true, but you need the will to follow through when discouragement tries to take hold. Hang in there and keep believing in your dream.
As Eleanor Roosevelt said “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
She also said – “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience by which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.”
Cheering you on,
Kerrie
I’m grateful for the people who have shared their stories with me for the book – they are so inspiring and their words move me even as I proofread and skim over when looking at the chapters from a layout perspective. I can’t wait to share it with people, and I’m looking forward to reading it over the Christmas break when I can just read to enjoy. There are a few other books on my Christmas holidays list too!
Tonight I’m grateful for the energy to stay focused on the final edits and layout of my book, Lifting the Lid on Quiet Achievers, and grateful that Lyndon and Ethan decided that tonight would be a good night to go out for dinner and celebrate the completion of the book. We’re so close we thought we may have finished this afternoon, but after a few technical glitches slowing things down, we realised that tomorrow is more realistic. So Lyndon and I were discussing leaving the celebrating until tomorrow night, but when Ethan came into the office looking gorgeous in his Sunday best we decided we’d go. We celebrated that we’ve come this far, and I acknowledged Ethan for his patience throughout the book journey, and Lyndon for his ongoing support and all the work he’s done in layout and managing files, such as photos, quotes and images for the book.
