From the title, “The Leap,” you might think that this book is all about having the courage and inspiration to take big steps and make big changes. Actually, as you’ll see as we work through this Bottom-line, this book takes the view that tiny, cautiously tested out steps are preferable to big, courageous leaps.
I chose this book because one of the core Agile Living values is that, in creating the life you want and being more of the person you want to be, evolution is preferable to revolution and I really resonated with what Rick had to say about that, so that’s one of the ideas that I’ve covered quite deeply in this Bottom-line.
In the Bottom-line on The Leap, you’ll learn:
- Why it’s so important to align your work with your natural strengths and focus on developing your strengths instead of your weaknesses if you want to do your best work.
- How to discover your natural strengths by developing your self-awareness and using Rick’s free online Primary Color Assessment test.
- The 3 ingredients that will get your ideas heard and make your projects sticky, inspiring and impactful in our noisy world.
- How you biology is wired when it comes to responding to change and why revolution is not the best way to make your changes.
- 8 Strategies for minimizing risk and maximizing the rewards when you’re making your career changes.
- How to develop a “sparking mindset” that will enable you to stay agile, flexible and ahead of the game in your career development.
