#TuesdayTuneUps presents a lesson on being Limitless. Yesterday, I was at a gathering with many sportsmen/women. A senior statesman in the midst proposed that we need to shift our mindset to believing in our uncapped potential. This is the "L" in R.E.A.L Leadership: Limitlessness ****** In 1996, I was 23 years old and sought guidance from a resident professor of my university dormitory for my CV. I was going to enter the workforce. Believing in my natural creativity, I described myself as such - creative. But the prof, good intentions as he may have had, said: "Engineering students are not so well known for their creativity so I don't think you should include that." In my naïveté, I obliterated that very word, and it has never been in any cover letter or resume since. How silly. And underpowering. ****** 4 wonderful young people who were my Singapore Management University students 3 years ago paid a visit to my home for dinner last week. Brendan Tay, Tan Wei Zhi Joshua 陈威志, Gene-Han Wong & Deepan Arumugam are all splendidly curious, mostly well-behaved and thoughtfully ambitious Singaporean youths who are brimming with both enthusiasm and potential. I have no worries about their ability to strive and reach their desires and goals in life. I am certainly not going to label and cap their potential—hidden or realised. ****** To the future, current and prospective employers of these 4 fine young gentlemen, I say this: "These are the people who will lead us forward. They are not yet fully crystallised into shiny gems, which will reflect and refract insights for your business. But seed them in your environments, and the solution will adhere to these growing bits." GRiT Academy coaching for life, for growth and for purpose.
