You need to show up powerfully and magnetically in a way that attracts people to trust you, follow you, and commit to putting 100% of their effort into a larger purpose…

You need to care about others and connect with them in such a way that they feel your care…

You need to speak persuasively — in a way that’s clear, direct, and honest and that reflects your care — while listening with openness, compassion, and love. 


Peter Bregman, CEO of Bregman Partners

takeaways of note:

How the 4 Cs inter-relate and strengthen each other…

Confident in yourselfIf confident in yourself but disconnected from others… everything will be about you & you’ll alienate the people around you

Connected to others – If connected to others but lack confidence in yourself… you will betray your own needs & perspectives to please everyone else

Committed to purpose – If not committed to a purpose, something bigger than self… you’ll flounder, losing the respect of those around you as you act aimlessly, failing to make an impact on what matters most

Emotionally Courageousif fail to act powerfully, decisively, and boldly — with emotional courage… ideas will remain idle thoughts and goals will remain unfulfilled fantasies
