I am Piers Carter and this is my blog - I consider myself an optimist, pragmatist and a dreamer, endlessly curious about our inner and outer worlds and always up for an interesting conversation. In this blog I take real issues raised by my clients and coachees and expand upon them - hopefully providing something useful for you, the reader.
Please enjoy these postings and keep having productive conversations.
If you're not failing, you're not learning. Words from Derek Sivers and featured on his video below. It's quite a striking thought really, the idea that everything is only and experiment and the greatest folks in any walk of life have failed so many times it has made them great. Hard when you have a reputation to uphold and an image to protect but what would it be like to let go of the need to protect that image, to be free of the pressure of maintaining a reputation? The milestone for me came when I let go of the need or desire for certain outcomes. When I stopped prescribing how or what I thought the outcome should be and accepted whatever it was as just different - not better or worse, just different. Watch his video and let me know your thoughts. When did you last fail?
I've changed the video bar on the side of my blog and there is a selection from the next internet sensation, Kid President. Check him out especially his pep talk which I've put in below. Wise words from one so young - he's only 9. Piers Carter
