What’s Your Level Up Challenge?
All of us have two simultaneous level up challenges to navigate in our professional lives. First, we have to do everything in our power to keep learning, growing, and rethinking our approaches. And second, we have to do everything in our power to help our team, organization, and colleagues succeed in the face of unrelenting change.
Leveling up takes a commitment to Beginner’s Mind thinking and the courage to experiment with unconventional ideas. It’s imperative we grow comfortable with thinking differently and inspiring the same in our colleagues.
