The udemy Master Class was disappointing. A hodge podge of previous trainings/talks that Sally Helgesen and Marshall Goldsmith had conducted and promotional clips for How Women Rise.
Takeaways:
* Day 1: Who do I need to know to make this job/initiative a success? Results in more support and visibility, and less work...! For recent App Orchard Epic initiative, will set up meeting with a key player for background to start building & leveraging the relationship.
* Goldsmith quoting Peter Drucker, "Our mission is to make a positive difference. Not to prove we're smart or right." The onus is on use to sell the Influencer. If we can't, accept the decision and move on. They don't have to buy. We have to SELL. Definition of power: Influence potential.
* Buddha Happy: Every deep breath brings in a new me.
* Feed Forward - ask about ideas for the future, not feedback about the past. Don't commit to say anything. Say thank you.
* Ruminating - Over-analyze environment. Don't be so hard on myself. Every women that Marshall has worked with, he has to tell her: Let it go! People relate to someone who is...human! Trying to be perfect focuses on myself.
* Avoid letting my radar distract me - will lose influence, people will notice I'm not focused.
* Disease to Please -> Disease sabotage. Can't please everyone all of the time.
* Leveraging relationships - Ask for specific help.
I appreciate the feedback that this was disappointing--I value your input!
