Hey guys,

On the heels of creating great momentum, we are now experiencing a breakdown. As some of you may know, the flight I was to take has been cancelled. We have 4 hours to do something (including me asking this morning if the Australian Special Forces could somehow fly me to DC -- my running date said he liked the dedication but that wouldn't be a viable option. I'm working on a security clearance!! :) ). I need to leave Sydney by Noon to get the the east coast by tomorrow morning.

Before any action though -- let's review how this is actually quite a perfect situation. This is predictable for us. Getting from one side of the equator to the other takes planning. Two weeks of planning and flight the day before actually left us no room to create a win/win should something like this happen. We are getting comfortable with leading by luck -- as opposed to being effective leaders. Had this breakdown not occurred, we would continue on per our usual.

The intention of this email is not to make us wrong -- we actually did great work. What we need to do is start doing great work SOONER.

I will be sending my participants and email to discuss and will communicate with you via email the highlights of those conversations. Whatever the outcome is for the weekend, we can use this breakdown as an opportunity for ownership and transformation -- our participants are inspired when we come from that place and it takes a higher form of leadership to conduct ourselves with powerful humility. 

What else do you see? What are you inspired to produce?

xoxo
Caitlin

I'm on board. Let's do this. Breakthroughs!

I'm inspired to produce my weightloss and my finances. 

You free for a skype now?

Damn it… if only the world were FLAT.  This would not be an issue, as there would be no Australia.  You would simply be working in some cool place like… well… like…. Cool Colorado.

I am enrolled.  I am inspired to produce results!  I am inspired to focus on results first and live to that end.  

See you tomorrow at some point.  Let me know if you need a ride from a random airport in the DC area.  Happy to pick you up.

Love, 

Garren

Hey guys,

I want to tell you what just happened. Caitlin and I got on skype and had a rollercoaster of thinking we found a flight and then another and got Jim's credit card and then found out after Delta looked for us for 20 minutes how to get her on that flight that nope, that's not going to work either.

But what I got out of it was playing with her. Being with her. Seeing all the emotions she went through as we found a flight lost a flight found a flight. AND I got that THIS is the where the breakthrough it. Not whether or not Caitlin is there on Saturday, but whether or not you're on the phone with her with her right now, being with her and working at making this happen.

This is how I do everything. I gave up twice today already--from full force "let fix this" to "oops guess it's not going to work" and I was actually suprised there was even somewhere left to try. And though it didn't work, I see how stopping sooner than now deprives me of those moments where maybe or maybe it doesn't but at least I tried.

Pick up the phone. There's a breakthrough here.
