Training manuals make us think of long lists of things we need to do better.
A friend of mine told me he doesn’t want a coach because they will only give out more things to do.
Coaches and training manuals equal more of the stuff we know we need to do but don’t.
Nobody needs a reminder about what we can’t do.
We would if we could, but we can’t.
But just maybe, that’s thinking about it the wrong way around.
What if we started with a blank sheet of paper and put down the one thing we needed to do above all else?
Once that’s done.
What’s different? What’s changed? Do we need to do it again, only quicker, slower, or more often?
People do extraordinary things when they take responsibility for doing the ordinary well.
