Help and Support everybody around the world

When I heard Jim Collins speak at a Fast Company conference here in Phoenix in 2000, he shared the story of his own career journey, where he named a notebook "A Bug Called Jim" and observed his behavior for 15 years as a scientist would observe a bug. He noted things like "Jim gets very distracted in long meetings. Jim does not like long meetings." and "Jim lights up when he starts to teach." I often share this story with clients who are so ingrained in their habits and patterns that they do not notice what are obvious things to my watcher eyes. You can learn to take the role of compassionate observer in your own life. If it is too hard, engage someone from the outside. We can't change what we can't see.
