Inception Coaching & Consulting

Between stimulus and response there is a space.

In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

Dr. Viktor Frankl

For many of us the idea of routine is akin to a loss of freedom. It feels as though we are bound to a boring daily repeat. No one wants to live "Groundhogs Day!" However, when you choose it and embrace it, I offer that it's what creates the powerful life you seek. Give it a shot, you lose nothing.

“Leadership means unlocking the potential of others”
Carla Fiorina

Being that I'm a leadership coach, I'm quite interested in what future leaders are saying today, and so I follow the primary debates. As such, I came out of my slumber during this weeks side show, when Ms. Fiorina, about half way through, led a response with

“Leadership means unlocking the potential of others.”

So I googled the line to find out more about her “talking points” on the subject and this article came up. It's obvious she has studied under my mentors and one can see how it has affected who she is BEING as a candidate.

I'm not a conservative, nor do I pretend to support her leadership track record. However, I recognize her accomplishment as a woman in the male world of C-Suite Leadership. Again, I don't support her conservative views on many issues and still she stands out to me as Being a Leader.

Carly Fiorina on Leadership and Unlocking Human Potential See possibilities, not limitations. See possibilities in yourself. See possibilities in others. See possibilities in the circumstances around you. And you'll have an impact and make a difference, and when you do, people will take notice.
