Description

This episode is inspired once more by the great mind and work of Henri Nouwen, theologian and philosopher and expert on the expression and motivation of humanity. Rob offers practical steps in Henri's literature that can help you not only in your leadership role but in your life in general.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Make sure you know who your mentors, counsellors and guides are. Choose them carefully.
• Your area of focus will bear fruit eventually, despite periods of darkness.
• Recognise fully your weaknesses, do not deny them. 
• Remember, we cannot achieve our goals alone. It's all about the community that creates success, we can only be the driver.
• We have to rest, recover and rejuvenate and have other things in our life that recharge us.
• Trust in the power of patience. We do not know when our consistent effort will bloom. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘This is not about you having to go out and spend thousands of pounds on a coach or a mentor or anyone in particular. It can be somebody you love, somebody that you know or it can be a professional association.'

‘Pushing things further down just delays the inevitable and makes the volcanic eruption even greater.'

‘Wine is produced through crushing grapes. You cannot keep hold of the grape and have beautiful wine. You cannot maintain six perfect eggs and have an omelette.'

‘With the era that we live in with social media and communication it's as if everything else and everybody else is succeeding at a hundred miles an hour, and little old us, little old me, little old you are sitting there going through the same daily grind but nobody else is.'
