Unique

The names of our jobs have changed a great deal. Our grandparents were accountants, mechanics, or farmers. Something you could say in one single word. Recently, bartenders have become beverage dissemination officers and shop assistants customer experience enhancement consultants.

The American-style CEO and CFO arrived, then the “Chief Happiness Officer” crept in and is now an accepted term.

I hesitated before putting the word coach on my business card because I am not only a coach and what’s more, I’m not a coach like other coaches. I’m much more than that and, above all, I am unique in my field, as indeed are all my colleagues.

The word on the business card doesn’t tell the whole story, far from it.
Do you know what it represents for you?

Would you like to assert your uniqueness?

Michelangelo

Standing in front of the quarries in Carrara, I imagine Michelangelo choosing stones worthy of his masterpieces. In my mind’s eye, I see him surveying these very mountains as he travelled around paying labourers here and scrutinising a rock wall there.
Our ancestors accomplished some amazing feats, without our modern transport systems. But of course, it goes without saying that Michelangelo did not mass produce his David! And he only painted one Sistine Chapel.

And what if that is the secret? Only do things once and give it your all to do your best? That’s what the 4 Toltec agreements teach us.

What about you? What is the project closest to your heart that would be worth you spending a month, a year, or even 25 years on?
