We are interdependent. We are herd/pack animals euphemistically calling ourselves social animals. It is with the help of others tht we reach our greatness. That Greatness Zone lays in what Suzanne Livingston calls: My unique contribution. For me that is my passion around servant-leadership and building community. Cindy shares well how the work as a fellow Vistage/TEC Chair has allowed me to fulfill my passion for the past 27 years.
Cindy talks about being good at what she did. She also mentions "I found I became bored easily" When I can do something well and it becomes habit, I can coast. And you know what they say about coasting. When you're coasting you're going downhill.
The challenge that Lee Thayer throws down is: How will I be better tomorrow that I was today in living my life and performing better than I was today personally and professionally?
Cindy has found her unique contribution that challenges her daily to be better than yesterday.
Remember, I cannot motivate another person. Motivation comes from within.
Motivation: the state or condition of being motivated.
Motivate: Providing motive.
Motive: Goals or objectives of one's actions.Random House Dictionary
You may be able to inspire me, however it is up to me to achieve the "goals or objectives my one's actions."
