No, we're not including Peter's home address in the show notes. Nice try listeners. :)
Yo-Yo Ma is not slang for something. He is a world class Cellist.
We talk a lot about flow on the podcast. We loved Peter's description: "Flow is breathless, meditative, effortless, everything is bathed in light and connects everyone in an experience of community that is wondrous." - Peter McCoppin
"When you're in your head, you're dead." - Tony Robbins
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act but a habit."
"When we're doing something well, we become invisible."
"Why are people afraid? Because they think they may not be good enough and maybe they won't be loved."
"Everything you need to know about leadership is already within you. You can't teach anyone anything they didn't already know for that would be as to give sight to blind eyes." - Plato
"The image is already in the stone, I just take away the excess." Michaelangelo
"Leadership is not position, it's behaviour."
"Our work is to discover our work." Anonymous
Our work is an agency not an entity.
Every successful person has endured obstacles and experienced failures along the way. Many credit those same obstacles/failures as CRUCIAL to their eventual success.
"Emotion is the most powerful anchor for memory."
Peter was mentored by the great Erich Leinsdorf.
We love these gems by Helen Keller.
"Life is either an amazing adventure or nothing at all."
"What could be worse than blindness? Sight without vision."
"The only things we get to keep are that which we've given away."
Here's the list of Peter's Phenomenal Coaching Questions:
Who am I? What do I want? Why do I want it?
"To be a leader; do what you love in the service of people who love what you do." Steven Farber
Before responding, STOP - Stop, Take a Breath, Observe, Proceed.
