Uncertainty - Lessons From a Motivational Speaker

Ever wondered why kids love watching a favourite movie over and over again?

Every day their little lives are constantly changed.

New things.

Understanding something new.

Their bodies grow.

A favourite movie is refuge from change. For 90 minutes they can feel safe in a place where they know what will happen.

Certainty. Humans crave it.

Know this before you ask someone to change.

Change is scary, it’s uncertain, it’s full of unknowns.

We hate uncertainty.

So have answers for questions people will ask.

Give them the certainty they crave and chances are the change will be smoother.

If we haven’t met yet…

I never considered myself good at change until I went from

-average shot to army sniper

-home movies to National Geographic cameraman

-fumbling card tricks to a professional magician

-never swinging a hammer to building a home

-high school dropout to published author

-business illiterate to building & selling a business

-stutterer to motivational speaker

Turns out I know how to change, I know how to make it simple, and I know how to stand on stage & make it fun so others want to do it too.
