Competence Is No Longer A Scarce Commodity.

One Option Is To Struggle To Be Heard Whenever You're In The Room... Another Is To Be The Sort Of Person Who Is Missed When You're Not. The First Involves Making Noise. The Second Involves Making A Difference.

If You're Going To Invest A Valuable Asset (like Time), Go Ahead And Make It Productive. Use A Postit Or Two, Or Some Index Cards Or A Highlighter. Not To Write Down Stuff So You Can Forget It Later, But To Create Marching Orders. It's Simple: If Three Weeks Go By And You Haven't Taken Action On What You've Written Down, You Wasted Your Time.

There's A Huge Difference Between Being A Replaceable Cog On The Assembly Line And Being The One Who Is Missed, The One With A Unique Contribution, The One Who Made A Difference.

The Future Isn't So Much About Absorbing Or Tolerating Change, It's About Making Change.

Living And Breathing An Authentic Story Is The Best Way To Survive In A Conversation-rich World.
