For the past 7 years I have worked with hundreds of clients and there is ALWAYS the outcome of Increased Productivity that they want for themselves, their employees, and their teams. There is a great need to have this both personally as well as professionally.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody would not do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
Being the smart person that I am, I told him, “Wait. I have pushed past my fears before, LOTS of times. I have done a high-end ropes course. I zip lined one of the highest zip lines in Mexico across water. I have parasailed behind a boat at Lake Powell; in fact, I have even walked on Fire! I do not need to jump out of a plane to push past fear!
Later, after thinking he was crazy and I would show him how crazy this was, I found this amazing picture of someone “Pushing” someone else out of an airplane. I typed up the whole birthday raincheck story and posted it with the picture on Facebook. In less than one minute, a female classmate jumps on and loves it, then comments, “Do it!! I did it last year and LOVED it!” Then posts pictures of her skydiving in Hawaii! Within 5 minutes I have over 50 likes and about 25 comments. Most saying, Do IT! Of course, there were those that said, “Are you crazy?” Over the next couple hours this post grew to about 300 likes, some shares and way too many comments!
