    An ‘I Will’ Attitude is the Only Attitude (with Chris Messer and Mike Jones)

    Chris Messer and Mike Jones are back for another installment of the “Endeavor to Discover” series. This month, they speak on the power of adopting an “I will” attitude. Jones explains why common phrases such as “I think I can,” “I’ll try,” and “I hope” are actually powerless and reflect low commitment, as they express potential, but not purpose or action. Messer and Jones explore how to build confidence, resilience, and follow-through by using decisive and empowering statements, like “I will.” The discussion also dives into leadership cultures, specifically how the mind-set of “under-promise, over-deliver” is inauthentic, and that leaders should commit fully to winning, with a strong sense of personal accountability and clarity of purpose. *** Subscribe to The NOLN Podcast on your platform of choice:  Apple Podcasts  iHeart Radio Spotify
