What Matters

I've been reflecting on what matters, lessons learned, practices to experiment with and ideas worth exploring.

Putting yourself out there

Sometimes you need to just put yourself out there. I know this. I coach others on this very topic.

However, I admit to a Knowing / Doing gap. A strong perfectionist streak can hold me back from sharing my thinking before I have had time to fully develop it. Sitting on my ideas though means that an opportunity can pass by while I am still working out the tentacles.
