Don’t make strange
Zengagement: Really Knowing.
Ninety percent of the world’s woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties, and even their real virtues. Most of us go almost all the way through life as complete strangers to ourselves ~ Sydney J. Harris.

David has a 20/20 vision, even though he is also color blind. He is dedicated to fostering a 20% global increase in employee engagement by the year 2020. Join him in this quest as low levels of engagement are bad for employees, organizations, customers, and the economy.
David,
I agree with this. Interestingly, one of the ways to find out who we are is to find out who we are not. Finding out and accepting who we are not is a place many choose not to go (I think) because they equate it with failure. Or because we think the things we are not are the things that count and that makes us feel inadequate.
I don’t believe we can be anything we want to be although it seems to be a North American staple belief. I realize that belief is supposed to be encouraging, but in practice, I think it leaves people feeling they don’t measure up.
Hum – interesting subject. Might have to blog about that.
Regards,
Michelle
Michelle,
I hope you do blog about that. I have been focusing quite a bit on the power of no and this would fit with what you wrote.
Thank you.
David
