Seeing Red Cars: Excitement about new book is wonderful, but I advise people to take it S-L-O-W

Src_header

Focus first on yourself, and then share Red Cars concepts with others

 

I am humbled by the outpouring of excitement toward my new book Seeing Red Cars: Driving Yourself, Your Team, and Your Organization to a Positive Future, being released next week on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14. This is a common response:

 

“My mind is going 100 mph.

I am envisioning ways to use this resource with

our (students, team members, employees ...).”

 

To those individuals who are feeling a rush of initial excitement, I offer the following advice:

 

  • Focus on yourself first. Just like you’re instructed on airline flights that in the event of an emergency you should put the oxygen mask on yourself first—and then your child—give yourself oxygen first. Take it S-L-O-W.
  • Clarify what you want personally and professionally, write down your plan, and start taking daily, weekly and monthly actions toward your “I wants.”
  • As stated in my book, “It all begins with you. We each play a critical role in building successful organizational cultures by taking personal responsibility and acting on what we can control. It is what we must do if we are serious about making positive things happen. If we focus on what we can control in our own particular areas, then in our groups, then collectively as groups, imagine the difference it could make.”

Armed with clarity regarding your own desires and how you are taking actions toward positive outcomes, start modeling the behaviors and sharing the concepts with others.
