Takeaways
The greatest obstacles we face as leaders can lead to the greatest opportunities if we are resilient and push through them.
Living a 'whelmed' life means living at our capacity and avoiding both underwhelm and overwhelm.
Experiments and prototypes are vital for finding our way to open new doors and close others.
Pain is an invitation to seek connection with others who understand our struggles.
Disappointment can be an opportunity for growth and learning when we name the gap between our expectations and reality.
Resistance is a normal part of shaping the future, and movement is the key to overcoming it.
Cynicism can be overcome by cultivating curiosity and a mindset of possibility.
Exhaustion should be addressed through intentional replenishment of what has been depleted.
Change requires experimentation and prototyping to test new ideas and approaches.
Overwhelm can be reduced by seeking clarity and focusing on the present moment.
