Below are two lists. The first is your to-do list. It represents all the things you would like to do (and have) as a result of your Experience. You are free to check as many boxes as you like. You are encouraged to add more. There is little you cannot do when you know who to be.
As a human being, the pinnacle of success, as defined by fulfillment in all areas of your life, starts within. At your core is your self: the source of all that you do and all that you are. Get the foundation right and there is little you cannot build on top of it. Get it wrong and (life) can come crumbling down. As a collective group of human beings, the same is true of business. A great organisation is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within (adapted from W. Durant).
Christine’s foundation supported the building of a successful career, but little else. As the weight of her professional life increased cracks emerged elsewhere. Physical health, emotional wellness and the relationship with her immediate family suffered. Christine’s foundation, defined by the scope and depth of her to-be list, was simply not strong enough to hold the weight she continued to pile on it.
Craig’s foundation had reached breaking point. Life was crumbling. As he stated at the beginning of his Experience, "I am at one of the lowest points of my life."
Through their Experience, as told in Client Stories, groundwork was laid that allows Christine and Craig to build the life they desire. Their foundation now supports physical and emotional wellness, fulfilling relationships (at work, home and most importantly, within their self) AND a more successful career. As with Raj, Bill, Darren, and Anne (their tales are also included in Client Stories), it all began with two lists.
