What to explore today? Staying vs dumping the stress
What would success look like today? ???

You can’t talk about what you do want without being in the outcome orientation.

Identify some tactics to temper the spice of your current professional situation.

Stop looking for acceptance/affirmation from Matt.

Steve recommends keeping all conversations with Matt impersonal. Talk numbers. Be detailed. (Flood him with information.)

Identifying my outcomes:

1. Focus on my desired outcome
   • What do I want to create?
   • If I could have, do, or be anything what would it be?
   • Do I really care about this outcome or do I just think I should care about it?
   • If I achieved the desired outcome how would I know it? What would it feel like?
2. State the outcome in the affirmative. Keep it in present tense
3. Be bold and not limited by doubting what’s possible
4. Identify defining elements (qualities, characteristics, and/or success criteria)

I will likely feel tension between where I am and where I want to be.
