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 yourself – If 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 Courageous – if fail to act powerfully, decisively, and boldly — with emotional courage… ideas will remain idle thoughts and goals will remain unfulfilled fantasies
