1. To Risk It All by Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret.)

This week’s new Philosopher’s Note is on To Risk It All by Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret.).

Here’s the intro quote to the Note:

“To Risk It All is a historical meditation on the nature of decision-making under stress, an examination of the evolution of the US Navy over the course of its 250-year voyage, and a resource for any reader who must make hard decisions in his or her work and life. It is also a chance for you to come to know nine extraordinary sailors, each of whom was placed in the crucible of decision. …

These nine sailors made the hard decisions that shaped their own lives and careers, resulted in a wide range of operational outcomes, and shifted the way our Navy looks at itself. They also provide a vivid tapestry of skills and instincts that comprise the essence of decision-making. All of us will face hard choices in the voyage of our lives—some in important and public ways, others in the quiet hours around the kitchen table. Business, finance, medicine, education, public policy, and a thousand other fields of endeavor all require the ability to decide quickly and well. I hope and believe that by spending some time with these nine sailors, your ability to make the hard choices in the crucible of life—whatever the circumstances—will improve.

Let’s get underway.”

— Admiral James Stavridis from To Risk It All

4. “It’s the best…”

Why work with a Heroic Performance Coach? “It’s the best investment of your time to focus on you and how you can work towards becoming your best self and reach your highest potential!”

Here’s Mark’s story:

“I’m even more committed to doing what I say I am going to do. The Heroic one on one coaching experience has been where the ‘boot(s) meet the ground‘ on my step by step journey to becoming the best version of myself. My coach has been a ‘navigator‘ that has been as essential and sustaining as the shelter, water, food, and other gear I pack along for the adventure ahead.”

Ready to move from THEORY to PRACTICE to MASTERY?

Chris speaks for all of us when he says:

“I am energized by hearing stories of others on their heroic journeys.”
