Active CEO Performance Tip
Build Your OWN TRIBE To Upgrade Yourself – The recent events have led to a lot of self reflection, you realise you need to upskill and upgrade, but you don’t feel like you have the right people around you to make the change. Who are the mentors, coaches & people in your proximity? 1. Identify and write down a list of every skill you want to upgrade. 2. Write down a list of people and/or types of people you need in your proximity to upgrade those skills. 3. Write down 3 curious questions that you would like to ask each person and make a phone call or send an email and ask for a virtual coffee.
