You’ve been reminded…

The breakfast of champions, you ask? When I was child, we were inundated with Wheaties commercials. Always had some world champion on the box. Hitting homers. Driving long and straight. Running like the wind. Jumping higher. Swimming like a fish. The key to their championship ring?

Wheaties – The breakfast of champions.

This, friend, is not true. The real breakfast of champions is feedback. The best kind is not from a person. It is from the work itself. You a golfer? The best feedback is from the club. When you hit it pure, the club sends a message. Pure. Do this again. 

The second best feedback is from a trusted truth teller. Every week I give a client feedback he does NOT want to hear – he needs to! 

Recently listened to a client tell me about his struggle. Asked hard questions. Thought deeply. Asked more questions. Eventually gave him feedback. Wasn’t fun to give. Wasn’t easy to hear. He took it in. Agreed the way forward.

He’s a champion. Champions crave truth. Chumps crave cheerleading. What, leader, are you seeking? 

Live hard. Love harder…

Seek truth…
