Most training programs don’t have lasting impact. Most seminars provoke only micro-change. Most inspirational or leadership books get us excited only until we wake up the next morning and reality intrudes on our idealistic vision. Why does this all happen? Because too many training programs, seminars and books are attempting to cause a revolution rather than nurture an evolution. Big idea there.
If you go to a seminar and hear a ton of lessons that you know will take your career and your life to your NLG (Next Level of Greatness; please forgive my acronyms…just a mood I’m in these days – let’s hope it will pass), it’s easy to get caught up into “revolution mode”. There’s so much to transform and so little time to do it in. And human beings don’t like to change (scares us). So we drift into overwhelm. And we don’t even start.
I suggest to you that there’s a better way to get to world-class within the important areas of your life: evolution. Small baby steps. Daily and continuous micro-improvements. Steady and consistent elevations in the way you work, lead and live (Dad always said slow and steady wins the race).
Every dream started off small and grew step by step. One hundred and twenty years ago, at Jacobs Pharmacy, a customer paid Doc Permberton five cents for his sugar in a glass concoction that you may have heard of (it’s called Coke and is enjoyed more than a billion times a day around the world). Evolution versus revolution. Sam Walton started with a single store and didn’t even get to the big box idea until he was in business for about thirty years. Evolution not revolution. The Everest climbers don’t jump up to the summit. No, they climb it bit by bit. Evolution not… You get my point.
Day by day, step by step, you can move towards your own personal mountaintop. You (and your organization) really can be, do and have a lot more than you’ve ever imagined. The life you are living today can be radically different from the life you can have 3 or 6 months from now. I see it happen all the time. With my clients. And you’ll get to the professional and personal greatness you deserve through an evolution. Not a revolution.
Very well said.
Evolution……..
