Tonight I hosted an incredible group of people for the first Artist Leaders meeting of the year. The goal was by the end of the night for each of us would work out how to complete the following two statements…
In 2016 I will…
In 2016 I will not…
It wasn’t very easy, and it took a while before each of us landed on something.
To get our brains in the appropriate headspace, we started with a list of questions. Here were some of them…
When you know you have to get something done, what is the first thing you do instead?
What’s the best decision you made last year?
Are you willing to quit something you’re good at in order to pursue greatness in something else you are also good at?
What are you the worst at?
Talking through these questions was eye opening. It was great. Good questions have the power to spur new responses, inspire action, and also to solidify what is already known…but often forgotten.
By the end of the night we all made declarations, finishing those two statements above. And we wrote them down in large handwriting. A giant piece of neon green tag board for the things we will do, and a equal size neon red sheet for the things we won’t do.
You can do this. Neon tag board can help.
p.s. I’m extremely proud of the artists who came out tonight and were willing to share and be a bit vulnerable, and pursue this type of growth, on purpose. These are exceptional people.
