Bending Examples

Our belief system defines for us what is possible and impossible. Beliefs or what we call mindset (our rules of engagement) shape our actions because we see them as true. Or worst, we don't even see our beliefs, but nonetheless, they shape our behavior like an automatic pilot. Our mindset shapes what we attempt or do not attempt to do in our everyday personal and professional life.

Success and failure begin and end in what we believe is possible. Roger Bannister must have held the belief to make it happen. Once he demonstrated the possibility, it was "easy" for others to make the commitment and to improve on his results.

The first step that a leader must take to create a breakthrough is to change his/her mindset and the mindset of his/her team. Some time ago Eric changed his mindset. Last Wednesday he changed the mindset of almost everyone in the room.

Just like the four minute mile many of the barriers that hold us back are self imposed. They exist only in our mind.

What are your four minute mile type stories, that you hold as true, but do not really know are true, that are holding you back in your personal and professional life? If you at the event Wednesday could you have done this.
