We had a fantastic conversation in December of 2020, where we bonded over the shared experience of having what I call 'hits' and what she calls 'breadcrumbs' that feel like teeny premonitions or signposts from the Universe. We also chatted about how the little forks in life lead to the bigger forks, like the example from season 1, episode 7 of Sony Pictures Animation, Guillermo Torres, sharing the story of choosing to go to a different movie theatre than usual... which essentially launched him on his career path.
Like me, her daughter has played a prominent role in her story. As Kendrick observed, 'children can be great teachers."
Takeaways from this episode:Sales are fundamental to survival in business. But when selling feels like helping, it's a heck of a lot easier to do it!
Shopping is not a hobby.
Children are good reflections for us on how WE manage change, AND they change how we see the world.
Every day there is a fork in the road. We are constantly choosing something, a path, an action, starting something new, stopping something old... some are small forks, and some are big forks
Not everything will be in your particular zone of genius. Rather than do everything yourself, it is wise to surround yourself with the people who have the skills you lack.
One hot tip for those who are still learning about working from home: create for yourself a specific workspace and a specific work time... and stick to those boundaries.
