The World-Class Framework

How you do anything is how you do everything.

Your personal brand is the sum of the thousands of micro-acts you put in over the course of your career or life.

By choosing to be “World-Class” in every moment, you’re demonstrating to others you’ll accept nothing less than the best.

Over time, people remember this and they’ll think of you for the types of opportunities that people brush off as luck.

In reality, that luck is a delayed reward for you choosing to be world-class.

| Insight

Seek feedback, even when it's difficult to hear.

Challenge: Ask someone you trust for honest feedback about a specific aspect of your life, and reflect on how you can use this feedback for growth.

Example: Request feedback on your communication skills from a colleague or mentor.

Brené Brown, a researcher and author, on the necessity of vulnerability:

"Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome."
