Your Memoir, in Six Words
Your Memoir, in Six Words Harvard Business Reviews John Baldoni wrote about a special project- a 6 word sentence to describe your accomplishments. It isnt new, just revisited. How do you want to be remembered? Baldoni suggests asking yourself these three questions to self analyze: What gets me up in the morning? How can I help? What is my influence? To condense the answers into six words sounds impossible, is it? Abraham Lincolns would be: He preserved the Union and freed the slaves according to the article (technically more than 6 words, but you get the idea). What is yours? Mine: Sharing information. Holding accountable. Better world. FYI: I spent last week on my annual vacation to rural Vermont. Every year, this vacation teaches me something about relationships and human kind. By observing the stress-free activities of 130 people of multiple generations, I learned that we are creatures who are meant to communicate and interact with one another and when you take away the un-levelers (technology, personal items of status, alcohol, drugs), it creates a thick and lasting bond. In this almost Utopian environment, old play with young, family units are strengthened and renewed, introverts and extroverts mingle equally well, communication is typically straight forward and uncomplicated.
