Jesse is used to doing the impossible. He just applied for a position that everyone told him he couldn’t get. He’s been told many times that “usually” people need to “prove” themselves for several years before they’re considered for these higher levels.
Jesse long ago decided that “usually” was not for him.
He applied for the position … and got it. Right away too, I might add.
Jesse has gotten every position he’s applied for in the last 5 years, and there have been a good number. Many more than “usual”. His career is on the fast track.
We first met Jesse in 2018 in our Causative Communication course. Jesse followed that up with Transforming Your Presentation Skills. And then Beyond Persuasion: The New route to creating extraordinary outcomes.
Now, with a treasure chest loaded with powerful skills and tools, Jessie signed up for Premier 1-on-1 Executive Coaching, which he has continued for 5 years to date because he is still learning, and learning is what is helping him big time. Jesse is aggressively loyal to his self-development and applies what he’s learning to the incredible opportunities he’s creating, and the challenges he’s facing as he moves into positions of greater and greater impact and importance. Jesse calls his intense focus on self-development his “secret weapon”.
Jesse is filled with certainty and self-belief.
He knows that success in life comes from a strong mind and communication skills.
He knows that you either agree with the world around you as it is, or you create new realities. He knows that it takes expert communication skills to shape reality, to control his destiny.
Jesse is willing to do the work of serious self-development to master the high strata of communication ability because he likes the life he leads as an expert communicator. And the life he left behind is one he doesn’t want to ever see again.
Learning fast and having expert communication skills enable Jesse to stay on course and stay true to his basic purpose. It keeps him winning.
Not everyone feels they can influence the world the way Jesse does.
The larger the corporation, the less people feel they can influence it. You would think that the CEO of a major corporation would no longer feel this way. But I have worked with many CEOs. And the more people they have below them, the more out of control they feel.
Sandwiched between the unrelenting criticism and demands of Wall Street, and tens of thousands of employees who are slow to execute new visions, they have many “bad days” and have many moments where they feel less productive and less in control than the janitor, who as a result, is frequently much more cheerful than they are.
And then there’s Jesse. He started as an individual contributor to become someone mighty.
So it’s definitely not your position in the organization that matters.
It’s how fast you learn, it’s having a strong mind and a powerful ability to communicate.
The whole idea of being causative is not to “accept” reality, but to create reality.
We are happiest when we are true to our basic purpose, when our imagination is free and we can imagine beautiful future goals, when we are filled with supreme confidence about achieving them, when we are filled with certainty and self-belief.
We are happiest when we are able to get many others to cooperate with us. And that takes expert communication.
Communication enables your ideas to leave your own world and enter the world of others, and if you do it successfully, you are successful in life.
I work a lot with champions. Not sports champions, but champions in life. Those who are at the top of their league in the industries and corporations where they work and in life.
No, they didn’t get there without coaching. But using a sports analogy which makes it easy to see, name me one successful athlete who got there without a coach. There aren’t any.
The truly successful people know how to ask for help and know who to ask for help. And they never stop asking for help. They just make sure it’s coming from the right place.
Don’t let “usually” be your guide. You’ll be miserable.
Imagine the outcome you truly want in all its technicolor splendor. Believe in it. Ask for help in the right places and cut ties with those that drag you down.
Make it a year that you create, not a year that “happens”.
Jesse’s message to you is that it’s a decision, and you are the decider. You decide what is right for you. You decide to make it happen. You decide you can. You decide to do it.
Your decisions cut the path through the confusion and keep you on it.
Keep your decisions sharp. Keep them coming.
When your decisions are unstoppable, so are you.
If you want to power up your self-belief and your skills with the help of expert coaching, Causative Communication is a good place to start. We are always happy to help.
Be the cause!
