Welcome to Setting The Pace Newsletter, a weekly newsletter where I provide 1 lesson, 1 tool/resource, and 1 action to help you set the pace in your life.

1 lesson about Creating Goodwill 👑 

^{The older I get, the more I understand that we’re all trying to figure it out, and I am learning or being reminded of these lessons.}

Here is why you need to create goodwill 👇️ 

This week, I spent an hour talking to my new boss, and one of the first things he said was how, in any area of your life, and especially work, it’s really important to create goodwill.

I took a second to understand what he meant by that. Then he explained that whether you’re just starting a new job or have been there for several years, you need to adopt the perspective of how you can right now give more and, in return, create the opportunity to learn more from those around you. *give more than you take*

We often operate from the perspective of ‘how I can make or take more from X,’ but that’s the ego. My boss explained to me here that you can’t expect to receive anything if you haven’t laid out your goodwill foundation.

Next week, I’m going to really be aware of my own goodwill foundation and think about how I can place myself in situations where I am learning and giving more than I’m taking:
