Message from Mary Poppins
WELCOME TO THIS MAGIC MONDAY MOMENT
Kicking off your week with some thoughts around a favorite Disney quote (because in my world - Disney is life!).
original message date: 09/16/24
Happy Monday!
In a discussion with a group of leaders recently – the topic of “but that’s how we’ve always done it” came up. There is comfort in staying the same. And it’s a great way to avoid the unknown and create a feeling of security.
As these leaders agreed – it can also put real success in jeopardy. As she always does, Mary Poppins has an eloquent way to teach us this lesson:
As humans, we often get caught up in the past—reflecting on our mistakes, analyzing previous strategies, and trying to learn from what worked and what didn’t. While reflection is very important, we must be careful not to become so consumed by the past that we lose sight of the road ahead.
Leading forward requires us to focus on where we want to go and to inspire ourselves and our teams with vision and purpose.
It’s about embracing the lessons we’ve learned while keeping our eyes fixed on that future version of who we want to be and what we ultimately want.
Take a note from our favorite nanny…turn your focus to where you are going. You’ll get there much faster.
Ask yourself if you are spending too much energy on what’s behind you. What steps can you take today to move toward your goals?
Wishing you a wonderful week. You've got this!
