I did something!

I did something!

1️⃣0️⃣ years ago, I did something that changed the course of my life forever. In 2013, I received two stents due to severe blockages in my arteries. It was a wake-up call that made me realize life is too short to waste.

2️⃣ I decided to follow my passion and become a professional speaker. Being on stage and sharing my story became my purpose. I knew I had to do it. I wanted to inspire others to take control of their lives and pursue their dreams. At the age of 15 my late father Aubrey z"l took me to toastmasters for the first time and I found my place on stage.

Who is an expert? 

Today we're going to look at experts. It took me many years of my life to not only acknowledge the experts around me, and to value them. My immature ego got in the way for many years of being able to acknowledge that there were actually people around me who knew more about a particular topic and could actually assist me in a whole variety of ways.

Are you Intense?

I often joke that I have the attention span of a goldfish.

Where did that come from? My natural work pattern is a soundbite type where I'm driven by short bursts of high energy to complete short tasks. And having been in finance for the last 21 years, there are often times where I need to change my behavior to suit the tasks that I have to complete.

DO IT FIRST
Rael Bricker Rael Bricker

DO IT FIRST

In simple terms first means deal with the hard stuff FIRST. Deal with the difficult tasks first because once you conquer those then the easy stuff is even easier because you've dealt with the hard stuff.

When I started my financial services group and started employing staff there was no real process of managing files. My staff would walk in every morning and be faced with the mountain of files in one pile. As we got busier I started noticing that the more difficult files just seem to take a lot longer. The natural tendency of the staff was to look at the file and say “Oh, that's too hard. I'll deal with it later” and then put that file at the middle or bottom of the pile.

This got me thinking about the work I do with individuals and business around being excellent. - “showing up as the best version of yourself every day”.

Measuring the immeasurable – How do we measure the “soft stuff” ?

Most organizations have quite extensive financial reporting systems (the hard stuff), whilst very little to report on the journey to excellence (the soft stuff). The most common measure of performance is financial. The challenge with financial measures is that they show a point in time that is often unrelated to the activity that brought the organization to that point.
