Show Notes

Even leaders who have a vision of meaningful change can engage in self-sabotaging thoughts and actions. In answering this next Amplify question, Jonathan looks within to reveal anything he might do to impede his own ability to ignite his meaningful change.

 

00:58 Amplify Question 22: What could impede your ability to ignite this change?

02:59 My vision feels right and true. I can put my arms around it. But then…

04:18 The questioning voice that says, “What do you see yourself as here?”

06:13 Action is so important, as the first step and every step.

06:29 “What is really magical is that these self-sabotaging endeavours have any power over the small, constructive step.”

09:42 There’s a necessary loss of balance. I’m feeling the freedom of letting go and being off balance for a while.

13:18 Being on your path reinvigorates and refuels you. You need the courage to take that first step.

15:53 I know that there is part of me that doesn’t allow myself joy in difficult times.

17:44 That joy is fuel means it’s necessary to rediscover the joy of work.

18:51 Final answer.
