Boldly Commit
Hi, I’m Mike Jay & this is
LeaderW@RE. Let’s get down to business.
The process of staging Emergent Self-Awareness for
leaders occurs with a simple FIRST STEP, but requires a
FULL COMMITMENT, and going ALL-IN…
Let me
tell you a short story.
Back in 1987, my
son died. I won’t emotionalize this much, but the day of
his funeral, I knew as I watched him lying there for the
last time, that I was SUDDENLY FREE!
What?
You say?
All my adult life I have wanted a
son. And I still want another even as my second life at 60
began a few years ago.
Do you all realize
at 60, you begin a second life because you have gone full
circle with all five elements:
Each
element is said to guide you for 12 years as you rotate
through jin (metal), mu (wood), shui (water), huo (fire),
tu (earth).
My SELF-AWARENESS shifted that
day, as I had been released from the life I had prior to
my son’s death…
I realized at that moment,
walking out of the small funeral home in Mitchell,
Nebraska, that it was like shackles just fell off!
I didn’t have a dime, as my son’s year-long
illness had maxed his million-dollar insurance policy and
everything we had accumulated up until that time.
We had taken him everywhere to try to figure out
why he was so sick. We lived in hospitals… and I was trying to find someone to watch my oldest
daughter while I rushed to the hospital emergency room!
Oh, THOSE were the days!
We
left the funeral home that day and hopped into my
grandfather’s van with our two daughters down to Terlingua,
Texas, and the World Championship Chili Contest… Because between hospital visits our family went
chili cooking every weekend that summer just to keep from
going insane.
Long story short… I began my
professional coaching career in February of 1988 when my
first client…
…a physician delivering his
daughter’s Girl Scout cookies, visited me.
After he revealed “his real reason” for coming, I said, “I
can help. When do we start?” Now That’s BOLD COMMITMENT
I wasn’t a coach, I was a leader,
and all my life, I had been looking for a place to lead
from.
I didn’t know anything about coaching
except what I had learned as an all-around athlete and
“serial entrepreneur”…
I wasn’t qualified
to be a coach, but with the chains off, and a SINGLE BOLD
COMMITMENT, I became a coach!
Can you get
your chains off?
I had $250 in my pocket
from a donation from an anonymous church donor who felt
sorry for my family and me.
However, later on, I
did come to realize doctors paid well.
I remember when I decided to start teaching
developmental coaching in 1999 after publishing my first
book…
I sent EVERY PERSON who enrolled in
the CHARTER COACHING PROGRAM a special pin that said: “I’m a coach” and told them to pin it on and
start telling people they were a coach because they had
made a BOLD COMMITMENT.
Now I’m
not going to pretend that you can “be like Mike” and have
almost every dream you ever had, come true, but I’ll tell
you this:
BOLD COMMITMENT opens doors that
you never knew were there.
I promise you
that after you enroll and before we even finish the
program…
…a person will show up in your
life and CHANGE IT FOREVER!
All because you
“burned your ships” like the now famous Cortes Myth and
your chains will drop off!
I BELIEVE IN ME
and I BELIEVE IN YOU!
9 simple words… a
lifetime of dreams.
That’s me.
People sometimes ask me, Mike, is there money to be
made in coaching?
Here’s my answer:
You can make a LOT MONEY in
coaching… But no other business allows you to help people
have lives!
No amount of money can replace
the self-awareness I have EARNED in the process… with
still more to realize.
Developmental
Leadership Coaching has profoundly affected my life as
I’ve shared it with others.
And it was a
simple set of 9 words:
I BELIEVE IN ME and
I BELIEVE IN YOU!
In the last decade I
pared down my global coaching practice to work ONLY with a
few SUPER POTENTIALS.
In the past 5 years,
I’ve put every dollar, euro, peso, ruble, rupee, and pound
into helping the disadvantaged…
…and the
experience has broken me down to my core and allowed me to
reassemble the atoms of myself for my next climb.
I’m in shape now and ready for it and I want to
recruit some like-minded people to come along for the ride
of a lifetime.
Whether you’re
like me who is building a simple tropical lifestyle…
…or a complex person who wants to change the
world and share who you are with others,
I
can guide you in the necessary journey of self-knowledge
and self-awareness.
I do apologize that it may not
have all the touchy feely elements that some of you may
crave, but I do allow hugs at our retreats.
However, I won’t apologize for the fact
that LeaderW@RE is a BOLD COMMITMENT.
Trust me when I say that a journey of self-knowledge
is a BOLD COMMITMENT.
A BOLD COMMITMENT
begins with a single, unwavering action.
P.S. Let me say two things.
This program is
guaranteed.
…if you don’t believe it works
for you, and that all you have received for registering is
not worth the money you paid, I’ll
refund your money, after 45 days, NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
In summary…
It would be
disingenuous if I said this program was for everyone who
just made a BOLD COMMITMENT and registered. It’s not.
Just complete the simple
registration and email me to be sure…
….
where you are now is where you need to be…
Your BOLD COMMITMENT MUST CALENDAR 15 minutes a day to
reflect, contemplate, and observe yourself 5 days a week.
NOW, buckle your seatbelt of self-knowledge
and let’s hunt self-awareness together with the tool kit
in LeaderW@RE!
Last but not least…
This program is designed to produce VERTICAL,
OBLIQUE, and LATERAL AWARENESS of you, me, and we.
It is a VOLume approach for the
leading edge of global leadership.
As my
mentor Buzz Lightyear says: “To infinity and beyond!”
Join me, if you dare, and your life, work,
play, and dreams will rise up to meet you.
