Hey Reader -- Thanks for having me in your inbox. This week's #ShowUpPositive Spark is AMPLIFY.Last week we focused on finding the 10% that is right in the perspectives of others. This week, we build on this by finding it and then magnifying and strengthening it. Here's a simple example: Original statement: what the customer is asking for won’t work, and we should tell them no. Amplify statement: I like that you are positioning us as experts to the customer.

Reader, don't believe anyone who tells you being a renegade is bad. Recently, I took the stage in Indianapolis to deliver my 5-minute micro talk that would disrupt the thinking in the room. Sometimes being the renegade voice is necessary to snap a system out of complacency. I so firmly believe in this message that I am asking you to click the button below and watch the talk to propel it to the website's most-watched list.

Reader, here's why and how to cast your anchor. Dr. Michael Steger leads the Center for Meaning and Purpose.
