After 4 questions based on logic, Ray said this…

In Naked Leader we partner with many companies for whom safety, technical expertise and engineering brilliance are at the forefront.
In one such company, on day one of their leadership programme, one delegate decided to challenge our fundamental ethos – that everything you need, to achieve anything that you want, you already have within you. As you, in your teams and as an organisation.
His first four questions were genius, testing and sparking engagement in the room. His fifth contribution was a simple statement:
“David, if everything that I need, to achieve anything that I want, is already within me…”
He paused, I said simply “yes”, readying myself for challenge number five.
… “Then, it follows, logically, that everything that stops me, must also be within me”.
I stared at him – he stared back.
It was one of the most magical moments in my professional life.
He then said “I am so sorry David, that is quite a revelation for me”.
I looked at him and said:
“I have been thinking, living and breathing this for over 20 years, and I have never, ever heard it put as simply as that. Thank you.”
Everything that is stopping you from achieving your ambition, is already within you. And you can always overcome what is stopping you, by what you already have within you.
With my love and best wishes to you all

5 年Brilliant - ying and yang. Having attended your sessions that is a GREAT question. Surely the key is do you want to move forward or standstill. We can all find reasons not to do things but can do does not fit with what stops me. Positivity & Negativity, win or lose - your choice - STOP yourself or CRACK On!
