“You have all the power you need for the task you have ahead of you!” so smiles Nilofer Merchant, CEO of Rubicon Consulting, a strategy and marketing consultancy. Her talk (captured on the link above) takes you down the streets of Gotham in the batmobile exploring the stuff that made the dreams of Batman and Superman.
Far-fetched? Not really. It is beliefs that shape our journeys. And being brave enough to speak out and talk about your belief will give you the opportunity to be heard. It is the voice heard that will eventually give the idea, the dream, the vision the chance to materialize. And, voices heard, create responses, dialogues, exchanges and an occasional inside-out-of-the-box kind of thinking.
Some will stumble on opposition. Some will find alliances and others will either fight or quit the battles. But it’s the power of the ideas and the beliefs that will have had their moment and the chance to shine, create and discover. So, speak up – find your voice and claim your power – it’s yours for the taking.
