Steve Tytler preparing to break board
I am not a big believer in the “touchy feely” motivational stuff that you see at a lot of marketing seminars, but a week ago I was at seminar in San Diego where we learned how to make very powerful and persuasive group presentations.
The seminar was awesome, and I’ll post more about it shortly, but I want to tell you about an exercise they had us all do at the end of the seminar.
They made us break a board with our bare hands Karate style … with only a couple of minutes of instruction.
It was a metaphor for breaking through the barriers that are holding us back from achieving our goals.
Before we broke the board, we had to write on the board all our fears and other stuff that has been us holding us back. It sounds kind of crazy, but being able to break a board with my bare hands … something I had never done before in my life … really drove the point home.
