I joined a discussion yesterday with lion tracker, life coach and storyteller Boyd Varty from Londolozi Private Game Reserve - here are the three mindsets I'm taking with me + what to do if I find myself face to face with a lion.
As for facing a lion, Boyd's advice was clear:
"The only thing a lion is afraid of is your courage - breathe out, face it and take one step forward."
Although I mentioned three mindsets, if I can consistently step into my 'lions' the rest will follow.

1 年I appreciate your insights, Ashley Zaslav. They highlight the complexity and simplicity of mindset. Mindset is a belief that orients the way we handle situations and/or sort out what is going on.?Those beliefs are a reflection of how we are relating to the information we are processing. The lion tracker's ability to navigate uncertainty is a direct reflection of how he relates to the unknown. The mindsets you highlighted reflect that he related by accepting it, trusting his abilities, and leading with curiosity. These all point back to beliefs that empower him and his work. Thanks for sharing your insights from what I am sure was an amazing discussion. I went on safari in Kenya 11 years ago and it remains one of my Top 5 favorite trips. Would love to do another one in the near future.
