Outside Montreal’s Notre Dame Cathedral…you know there is something remarkable inside.

 

The workbook draft was sent to my International Graphic Designer last night. Anticipating something remarkable. We met a few days ago at the Apple Store. My goal was to reinforce the vision of a workbook that is simple, elegant, and different than typical seminar workbooks.

Boring versus not perfect

ATT International text
Wifi is the best option. But that means no checking for messages as soon as you land. Weird.

 

Reliable (aka boring, because of it’s predictability ) versus something that’s not perfect, not reliable? Which would you pick? A reliably consistent speaker who entertains the audience and looks good onstage in their cuff links or pearl necklace? Or would you pick the unpredictable artist who is likely to say things that some might take offense to, or at the very least, listen in disbelief, while others – sitting beside them – have the missing link that launches their transformation?

Biggest career April Fool ever?

Biggest April Fool ever?

Some small things that were ridiculously minor tweaks, but i didn’t do them.

Why not?

Why don’t any of us (broad stereotype) do the easy (life-changing) tweaks standing right in front of us?

The good news is some time later i experimented with trying the opposite:

  • Moving the home office desk from facing a wall to facing out a window in 2009.
  • Moving from always speaking up in every meeting to never speaking up, in 2007.

The notion of “doing a 180” really can pay astonishing dividends – game changing dividends.

In the two examples above, the reward was seeing things everyday that you were never in a position to see.
