Taking Risks- Getting Outside the Box

Taking Risks- Getting Outside the Box

 

I’m a real Canadian, and as such, a hockey fan. Wayne Gretzky is a hero.

I was coaching a client this morning who shared a great statement he ascribed to “The Great One”.

“You’ll miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”

How true is that? What do we miss because fear or a lack of confidence in our own innate abilities holds us back; stop us from taking the shot?

We’ll never score in life if we don’t take a chance.

In my business careers, I talked to staff about sins; sins of commission and sins of omission. I never went nuts at anyone who failed trying (unless they did the same thing repeatedly) but had very little patience for senior level employees who would not try things.

Can you relate?

If you’re risk adverse and afraid to act outside the box, what’s holding you back?

A journey of discovery into you can offer answers!!

If you don’t shoot the puck, you’ll never achieve the goal. Go ahead, take a chance.

This is something that really resonates with me.I was thinking about this very thing a lot this week.Fear of change has forced change on me because I was not growing while my wife is.I have to take the shot to better myself while I can.
