I believe that change is the only constant in life.My job is to investigate these changes and educate the world.
I am all the things listed above and more.
WHICH MYSELF?
noun: cognitive dissonance1. the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as
relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change.
Do you just “pass butter”?
During times of change, we resist being boxed in. But, no matter how hard, we still have
to answer the question.
WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?
They want your help!
Help them understand why you are there. Why they are there. And why the heck you’re staring at each other from opposite sides of that desk.
WHAT ARE THEY REALLY ASKING?
Please hold the word-vomit.
Are you trying to impress, or connect? Too often we get
caught reciting, or speaking jargon, or trailing...
WHERE DO WE
GO WRONG?
FIGURING OUT YOURSELF...
“...ohhhh” -Martin
What are you telling yourself?
We can’t move forward until we look back. How did you get here? What have you learned? What are you doing different moving forward?
HOW DID IGET HERE?
Is your reality in check?
What are your strengths and weaknesses? What are your
values? What do you enjoy and what do you hate? Own it.

WHO AM I?
Prove you want it!
Are you running towards something, or running away?
Actively “build” your career, one idea, connection, and project at a time.
WHAT AM I DOING?
Take a look around you.
You are the average of the five people you spend the most time
with. Let’s stop and think about that.
Who AmI WITH?
Which you do you choose?
There are many “you’s” and each has its own path. Look at three and decide on one. Lead with a choice, not a circumstance.http://www.npr.org/2017/01/03/507901716/how-silicon-valley-can-help-you-get-unstuck
CHOOSING MY SELF
SELLING YOURSELF...
“...ahhhh” -Martin
One conversation at a time.
Rambling, jumping, trailing...
FOCUS FOCUSFOCUS
Why are we talking?
Going back to “why” are you having this conversation. Are
you talking to the right people?
TALKING TO THE
RIGHT PEOPLE
Fake it till you make it?
Are you a spectator, participant, or creator?
What are they? What value is being exchanged?
BE YOURSELF?
