Think before you act
Easily said, harder to do, particularly when the pressure is on. In adventure leadership, the pressure is always on. So a leader’s thinking counts for a lot.
“Go slow to go fast”, “ready, aim, (breathe), fire”, “give a little thought to timing, and a little time to thinking”. Even “a gentleman never offends accidentally”. These all speak to intentionality, a process of considering the why and how of things before doing the what.
Intentionality is a mental process. In this “Thinking Blog”, I will share what’s going through my head that informs the actions I take. Connecting right thoughts to right action is at the core of the Praxis of Adventure Leadership. Without right thinking, less is accomplished, with less efficiency, and greater risk. As the pavement unfolds, I’ll have a lot to think about. I’ll do my best to give you my best insights on whatever subject presents itself that unfolding. Hopefully you’ll see how I connect the dots to avoid mistakes, seize opportunities and flow safely across the landscape.
