Take a deep breath.

Once, twice, three times.

Feel yourself relax completely.

Now…

Imagine you suddenly woke up in an aquarium.

Feel yourself swimming round and round and round until you get dizzy from spinning around!

Try visiting the little ship your owners have put there.

Enjoy the bubbles bursting out of the shell.

Have you had fun?

    life, goals, dreams

    One of the things I work on most with teams, in terms of motivation, leadership, and performance, is precisely the phrase, “In Life, do you lead or are you led?”

    Anyone who knows us and our work in this area knows that we like to provoke people to think when talking about motivation.
