The immense change we are facing is requiring leaders to be authentic and vulnerable, which means “less fear,” not weak, and in touch with their own individual strengths and gaps. This requires courage, something I’ve also witnessed in the leadership of the Olympic athletes recently in London.ARTArticleOn ExpertiseWhen scientists began to study expertise, they first assumed that experts must be smarter or more talented than novices, but they quickly learned that the key difference between experts and novices is not mental power, but knowledge.

That's what I told a coaching client recently. We were in a coaching session, and she was explaining how her income had dropped, how the economy had her worried, and how it was harder to sell—which is why her income had dropped.
