Mastery in Times of Disruption: Finding Your Focus When It Matters Most.

Intentional Mastery #14 - How to Stay Focused, Move Beyond Expertise, and Truly Connect. What’s your next step toward mastery?

It’s been a while since the last edition of this newsletter. Thank you for your patience. Life always tends to throw a few surprises. That's exactly what we're diving into today. Because, let’s be honest, we’ve all been there: You’re making progress, and then—bam—life happens, and your plans crumble.

1. Staying Focused When the World Wants You to Do Otherwise

Disruptions are inevitable. Yet, we can all turn distractions into opportunities instead of letting them completely derail us if we know what to do. In the latest blog, you'll find:

- How to bounce back quickly when those surprises show up.

- How to build resilience that keeps you steady, even when plans get flipped upside down.

- And how to use interruptions to grow rather than feeling like they’re holding you back.

It’s not just about productivity—it’s about making mindset shifts that turn chaos into chances. If you’re curious, you can dive in here...

2. Moving Beyond Expertise: The Path to Mastery

Let’s talk about going beyond simply being ‘the expert.’ Expertise is fantastic, but real mastery? That’s where the magic happens. It’s the leap from knowing your stuff to making a lasting impact.

In another blog, you can explore:

- The key differences between expertise and mastery—so you can figure out exactly where you stand.

- How to create a mindset that pushes beyond your comfort zone.

- And the five phases of mastery to help make your journey deliberate and meaningful.

If the goal is moving from being “good” to genuinely transformational, this one’s worth reading. Check it out here.

3. Let's Keep Talking (And About Staying Connected)

Sunday Musings is a series that dives into news, current affairs, and reflections on how these topics impact business, often with a lighter touch. It’s more conversational, focusing on insights from life in general, including reflections on photography, and less business-centric than my articles here, and it's not always on a Sunday!
