In this recap episode of How To Be A 1%'er, I reflect on the incredible insights shared by Kevin Riddle, co-founder of Computer Culture, during our recent conversation. Kevin opened up about his journey of self-discovery, shedding light on how a single childhood moment shaped the story he told himself for decades, a story that drove him to constantly prove his worth and take on too much responsibility.Kevinâs honesty and self-awareness provide profound lessons for anyone striving to live authentically and lead effectively. In this episode, I delve deeper into two of the golden nuggets he shared, the impact of the stories we create about ourselves, and the power of focus and visualisation to transform our lives.Key Topics Covered:The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Kevin recounted a childhood moment that led to a subconscious belief about his identity, driving him to prove his value in every area of his life. I explore how uncovering these hidden narratives is crucial for personal growth.Hidden Motives in Leadership: Kevin explained how his unexamined story influenced his leadership style, leading him to take on too much and struggle with delegation, a common challenge for business leaders.The Power of Focus and Visualisation: I expand on Kevinâs insight into visualisation, sharing how focusing on positive outcomes and building momentum can shift our experiences from frustration to achievement.Key Insights:The subconscious stories we create can hold us back until we bring them to light and question them.Hidden motives, such as the need to prove ourselves, often impact our leadership decisions and relationships.Focused attention on small wins can build momentum toward bigger successes, much like a magnifying glass concentrating sunlight.Key Quotes from Kevin:âThe story I created as a child drove my every decision until I realised it wasnât true.ââTrue leadership is about letting go of control and empowering others to thrive.ââFocus isnât just about visualising success, itâs about feeling it and training yourself to see the progress youâre making.âWhy You Should Listen:This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to break free from limiting beliefs, improve their leadership style, or create lasting success through mindset work. Kevinâs story is a powerful reminder that we all have the ability to rewrite our narratives and lead more empowered lives.Additional Resources:Learn more about Kevin Riddle and his work at Computer Culture www.computerculture.co.nzExplore my coaching programmes at Expand Consulting: www.expand-consulting.com.
