What is showing up for? Who's it for?
How does our time at work, in a meeting, giving a presentation, coaching someone, benefit the others? How does it make things better for them? What happens if we show up even better, more engaged, with more empathy, better listening, with better questions, with more energy? Will it make things even better? What if it's our last one, our last chance to make things better? What if our legacy depended on it? Would we try harder?
Every time we show up it might be the last time. And, every time we show up we have a chance to give the performance of a lifetime. We can act is if showing up matters. Or, we can do just enough to get by. It's our choice. Choose wisely.
