Positive thinking is overdone and often ineffective when applied to the messy realities of life and leadership.\xa0\nI\u2019m not saying there isn\u2019t a use for it but rather that we should rethink when and to whom we recommend it. Why? Positive thinking can lull us into a false sense of security, make us overconfident and keep us from taking action when we need to.\xa0\nWhat if instead of judging thoughts as positive or negative we measured them in terms of how productive they are? What if we embraced feelings of anxiety and nerves because it means we care and/or are pushing our limits? On today\u2019s show we will tackle these questions and many more.\nAlso, we were thinking\u2026 Why is it that we look for physical asymmetries in athletes and clients, but we don\u2019t measure them in our learning or communication? People are the ultimate performance variable so if we aren\u2019t assessing gaps here, aren\u2019t we missing a huge piece of the puzzle?\xa0\nThe Apprenticeship, a two day interactive workshop specializing in how to deal with people, power dynamics, hard conversations and the messy realities of life and leadership is aimed at closing that gap.
