Lets check this
10 years ago you didnt know how to use a smartphone
5 years ago you watched broadcast TV
Future generations will laugh at Telephone boxes
We will learn to talk to services that do things for us
With this rapidly changing world how are we meant to cope?
10. Think about the you this time 6 months ago
What challenges were you facing
What was a BIG DEAL in your life at that point?
If you had that challenge again to day would you deal with it better?
Would it be a BIG DEAL?
The you today might look at the you 6 months ago as a child
The you in March 2016
11. Do you agree you have the
power to change, improve?
How can you turn it up?
Ill share 5 tips
The power within
13. First things first - you
Get enough rest
Exercise regularly
Eat right
Have your physicals regularly
Going to the doctor when you need treatment
Spend time every day on a renewal activity
Sit quietly at least 10 minutes
Listen to uplifting music
Read an inspiring book
Write in your journal
Write a list of what you are grateful for
Cut down your stress with laughter
Read the newspaper comics
Buy a joke of the day calendar
Watch a funny T.V. show
@charlescadbury
14. 2 - Find a way to simplify complex questions
1. Work out what you want
2. Map out a path to get there
3. Enjoy the journey
@charlescadbury
Work
Enjoy
Succeed
Celebrate
15. 3 Find a mirror
If you can not measure it, you can not improve it.
- Lord Kelvin
How much change do we notice?
Often it takes a conversation to hold the mirror
up and offer perspective.
You can get that from anywhere, you have to ask
Keep a record of what you want to hand
Diary
Notes
@charlescadbury
16. 4 - Raise your game
Benchmark
Look at exceptional peers or competitors
Raise the scale of your ambition on a daily basis, take inspiration from the
you 10 years ago
What stories will you be telling when you retire?
@charlescadbury #mstrclass
17. 5 - Create desire lines in your mindset
@charlescadbury
Focus on the outcome you are
seeking, not the path.
Communicate your purpose,
get it out there.
We humans enjoy a challenge.
18. There is no finished business
You are constantly improving
Change brings enormous opportunity
Nothing is ever finished

Lets take a moment to look at ourselves
Think back 6 months to where you were on 16th Jan 2016
What were your challenges at the beginning of the year?
Concentrate on your challenges, I bet they would not be so hard to overcome now.
What were your goals? Have you achieved them?
#18:
Create a team that knows its purpose and it will find a way to deliver
Humans are resourceful and the agile movement has taught us we are best at figuring out complex problems on the way not in advance
Set a challenge and we enjoy it
