SPI 866: How to Get Better at Anything, ...

Pat Flynn
About this episode

#866 To grow, we might have to stop relying on some of our strengths. This may sound counterintuitive, but sometimes the skills we've mastered become crutches that mask areas we're struggling in. So how do we break free from our usual routines? Join me today because I want to tell you about using voluntary force functions to level up. I'm in the same boat as you. I've grown as a public speaker, but some of the skills I've developed are now holding me back. You see, my presentations have always relied on amazing slides. This is one of my superpowers, but it's also something I lean on instead of focusing on storytelling and audience engagement. Tune in today to hear how I plan to change this by not preparing any slides for my next presentation! This is a voluntary force function, just like the many others I've used to improve throughout my journey. Don't miss out on this mindset hack!
