Breathing reality

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

"For those who deny reality, reality is ruthless."

If you insist on imposing your vision of the world on others instead of observing, accepting reality, and navigating it, you’ll end up screwed.

Nice sentences that you see in websites, social media and so on.

And you believe them, because if they are there… they may be true.

However, think twice of that nonsense.

Reality isn’t ruthless to those who deny it—reality is ruthless, period.

And the nuance is important.

Reality doesn’t expect anything from you; it’s just there to devour you.

It’s your ability to accept it that softens the blow.
If, where there was a hungry bear, you saw a cute puppy, well, the bear would eat you, and no one would miss you because everyone was already fed up with you always being a drama queen and causing problems.

Fresh air is necessary in companies so that reality hits accommodated managers and employees. This is one of the key benefits of consultants.

For people, like you and I, seminars, coaches and mentors bring that fresh air.

With nuance or without, fresh air in your thinking and mindset can only provide some good.

Take a look below and breath.

NASA understood this. Most projects don’t

There is a famous story about President John F. Kennedy visiting NASA in 1961. While touring the facility, he met a janitor mopping the floor. Kennedy asked him what he did at NASA. “I’m helping put a man on the moon.” Beautiful… Maybe too beautiful to be true. But who cares… the point is brutal. Now, no question how, a few years later, NASA sent three men to the moon using computers weaker than my kid’s lullaby machine. One team. For real. One objective. For real. Not because of an org...

Control Cagón

Your team is not weak. Your leadership is. You can hire the best people in the market. The sharpest commercial director. The most experienced technical lead. The planner who can see delays before they are even born. The lawyer who reads contracts like other people read Netflix subtitles. All beautiful. Wonderful. Very LinkedIn. But if you don’t empower them… If they need permission to breathe… If every decision has to go through seven committees, four “alignment sessions”, two steering groups...

Your meeting needs cojon€s

In some meetings, what you really need is… A proper fart. Yes. Loud. Wet. Smelly. “Con dos cojon€s.” Or with two balls. I’m talking about those meetings with no life and no soul. Boring. No agenda. No direction. “Update meetings”, they call them. They could at least give you popcorn. Or coffee. Or a shot of caffeinated life. I don’t know. Look. There are, at least, 5 things you simply cannot do in meetings. The first one is having more than two people at the table… Although I understand this...
