Beter to ask for help when your early warning signs start firing
Not getting caught in the moment
Why did I leave early yesterday? Tired and want to be prep for the day, but why?
Stuff happens so need to build a brand need to be prepared and learning
Need to build the network, guard and build your reputation
Live below your means
Prepare for crucial conversations
Path to action
Sometime you need to tell yourself a different story
Under stress your brain turns to a pea and rolls out your nose
Focus on what you really want, when you make the sale stop taking
Avoid using always and never things change
Ask why? Try and understand what got people to where they are
You do not need to win you need to focus on the outcome you want
Get into other people movies
Move review to a neutral venue
Different people get different things out of the books
Make it safe & pool of shared meaning
Simon Sinek - Why does your organization exists
Why – old brain feeling and behavior
What – new brain thought and language
Reverse information
People do not buy what you do they buy why you do it
Part of the brain that controls decision making does not control language

Bruce Rogow
Need a why detector
Understand how long it takes to be successful
Understand the season of business
Adjust to the business and IT connect, you need the right focus and style
Look for the big picture and adjust
We are entering the evolving era
It takes 5-7 years for CIOs to reach their stride
1-2 years fire fighting
3-4 Getting Organized
• Hiring key players
• Basic functions
• Basic applications
• Basic delivery
5-7 Initial Agenda
• Becoming a team
• Basic horizontals
7-10 Institutionalization

Without 5 years almost impossible to make an impact
You can educate around ignorance but you just cannot fix stupid
2 year CIO are normally more destructive than constructive
Need to instuituilize the process
This too shall pass
Always about context
Vivaldi Model 4 separate seasons and they change
Innovation
Consolidation
Leverage and connection

I need to exercise to protect energy
Need progression not succession plan
CFO says
What if we spend $50 million on training and all the talents leaves
CIO replies
What if we do not and they stay
Need impersarios
CIO needs to
Chunking
Audiencing
Husbanding
As the context dictates
Need to make sure you have a bench to draw from
Twain
History does not repeat itself but it rhymes
62% of CIO involved in business development
Heading from “mandating IT” to “I would like IT”
World is changing we need to get out head into strategy
50% of CIOS interviewing said data analytics was the worse IT spend ever
We need to invent the future
GDP will not include the cost of intellectual property
This will impact how things are reported on 10Ks
Use your power for good
Lead with the point
Consulting with the business as an IT solution provider
Need to breakdown into hard and soft savings with IT initiatives

Dad – consistent
Paul McStay pride and passion
Darly Hire people smarter than you
Mary Jo
Practise the area of the circle where you are weak
Need to protect your time. They will always give you more projects
Who you are first, know what you do
You must develop who you are
Journaling
Sitting practice
5-10 minutes
Focus only on breathing
How do you quite brain
In a quiet place
5-7 mins quieting the mind, write down the ideas as they come
5-10 mins on breathing in and out
Helps build capacity and suspend judgement
Go running
Autobiography In Five Short Chapters
Chapter I
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost... I am hopeless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
Chapter II
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in this same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
Chapter III
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it there.
I still fall in... it's a habit... but,
my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
Chapter IV
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
Chapter V
I walk down another street
The Summons Hymn
Will you come and follow me if I but call your name?
Will you go where you don't know and never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown? Will you let my name be known,
will you let my life be grown in you and you in me?
Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?
Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name?
Will you set the prisoners free and never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean and do such as this unseen,
and admit to what I mean in you and you in me?
Will you love the "you" you hide if I but call your name?
Will you quell the fear inside and never be the same?
Will you use the faith you've found to reshape the world around,
through my sight and touch and sound in you and you in me?
Lord your summons echoes true when you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you and never be the same.
In Your company I'll go where Your love and footsteps show.
Thus I'll move and live and grow in you and you in me..
