58 The Unlock Moment Box of Keys #6: Reflections in Still Water The Unlock Moment leadership podcast: find your purpose for leadership and life

    • Careers

There’s a Taoist proverb in my book The IDEA Mindset. We cannot see our reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.
For most of my career, my mindset was running water, the bubbling brook, the racing stream, sometimes the whitewater rapids. I considered it my superpower that I could go fast, manage complexity, be decisive. It was in the pandemic that circumstances forced me to slow down. And when I began my coaching training, I started to appreciate all that begins to become clear when you still your mind and find that inner silence.
In this Box of Keys episode, reflect on what might change if you can find the silence.
