Episode 92- Sunday Reset With Steven | 21 Sep 2025- Ordinary Is What Builds Extraordinary

<p>🎥 Sunday Reset With Steven | 21 Sep 2025<br>🌻 Comparing Yourself Kills Progress - Because Ordinary Is What Builds Extraordinary</p><p>The other week, I caught myself slipping into comparison.<br>Scrolling. Seeing promotions, milestones, “big wins.”<br>And for a moment, I thought:<br>“I’m behind.”</p><p>But then I remembered:<br>In nature, no two flowers bloom at the same time.<br>Even in the same garden - roses open one by one, while sunflowers stand tall weeks later.<br>Each follows its own rhythm.<br>And none is late.</p><p>Theodore Roosevelt said it best:<br>“Comparison is the thief of joy.”</p><p>Their season has nothing to do with mine.<br>And yours has nothing to do with anyone else’s.</p><p>A reminder on the Sunday Reset. <br>During the week, I work with boards and leaders at the intersection of AI, governance, and transformation.<br>But these Sunday resets? They’re about stripping back the noise and focusing on what’s real.</p><p>Here is why I’m fired up about this:</p><p>In a meeting last week, a team’s progress was brushed aside because it “wasn’t extraordinary enough.”<br>Late nights. Solid results. Real effort.<br>Dismissed because it didn’t look like a unicorn headline. Imagine that! </p><p>I’ll be honest- it hit me. Because this is the trap we all fall into:<br>We discount the ordinary.<br>We trample steady effort.<br>We forget that without the ordinary, the extraordinary never comes.</p><p>Serena Williams didn’t become the GOAT by hitting extraordinary shots every day.<br>She hit thousands of ordinary forehands in practice.</p><p>In business: Great boards don’t transform because of one flashy decision.<br>They become extraordinary through the ordinary rhythm of governance done well.</p><p>Your reset this week:</p><p>1️⃣ Celebrate ordinary progress that compounds.<br>2️⃣ Resist comparing your chapter to someone else’s.<br>3️⃣ Remember: today’s ordinary is tomorrow’s extraordinary.</p><p>📚 If you want to dive deeper:<br>▫️Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader - Herminia Ibarra. About stepping in before you feel ready.<br>▫️Advocates &amp; Enemies - Colin Gautrey. A practical guide to navigating influence and stakeholders.</p><p>Both tie back to this:<br>Being yourself in your lane. <br>Ordinary choices. Ordinary actions. Extraordinary results.</p><p>Make the ordinary come alive - <br>and the extraordinary will take care of itself.</p><p>Keep growing. Keep leading.<br>Until next Sunday. <br>Let’s get it! </p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenpaul-info/">Steven PAUL, CDir FIoD</a> <br>Reshaping boards and CEOs to lead decisively - your boardroom compass for bold, trusted decisions at the intersection of AI, governance, and transformation.</p><p>📳 Let’s start the conversation - I invite you to connect.<br>♻️ Share this forward, and follow for more insights.<br>Powered by GovernanceAI</p>

Episode 91 - Sunday Reset with Steven | 14 Sept 2025 Excellence Isn’t Always the Goal…

<p>🎥 Sunday Reset with Steven | 14 Sept 2025<br>Excellence Isn’t Always the Goal…<br>We are taught from childhood to chase excellence.</p><p>Top marks. Perfect scores. 100%. Get everything right. Be perfect. </p><p>(Exhausting!)</p><p>And in some places, that is indeed non-negotiable.<br>Of course, I want my pilot, surgeon, scientist or bridge engineer aiming for 100%! </p><p>But here is the uncomfortable truth:<br>In life, entrepreneurship. In leadership. In transformation.<br>Excellence can kill momentum.</p><p>In case you are new to these Sunday resets… They are about stripping back to what matters- growth, reflection, and action.</p><p><br>At a private session a couple of weeks ago, an entrepreneur put it bluntly:</p><p>“Education teaches excellence. Entrepreneurship thrives on speed.”</p><p>Startups or even companies with that mindset, don’t wait for flawless.<br>They hit 65–70%, but three times faster than everyone else.</p><p>Because speed lets you test, adjust, and learn.<br>Perfection waits. Hesitates. And misses the window.</p><p>Think of a musician rehearsing.<br>They don’t lock themselves away until every note is flawless.<br>They step into the rhythm, play with others, and refine in motion.<br>The music comes alive not because it’s perfect, <br>but because they dared to play before they were ready.</p><p>I have had to unlearn this myself.</p><p>In boardrooms and programmes, I was wired to chase flawless execution. <br>(And those documents and PowerPoints - trying to make it perfect!)</p><p>But the biggest wins came when I moved fast with “good enough”…<br>and refined later.</p><p>Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn’s founder, said it best:</p><p>“If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.”</p><p>Here’s your reset this week:</p><p>Pick one task, decision, or project you’ve been stalling on,<br>because you’re waiting for “perfect.”</p><p>Commit to moving forward at 70%.<br>Ship it. Share it. Start it.</p><p>Because progress will beat perfection -every time.</p><p>Keep growing. Keep leading.<br>Until next Sunday<br>Let’s get it! </p><p>Steven PAUL, CDir FIoD - Reshaping boards and CEOs to lead decisively: Your boardroom compass for bold, trusted AI decisions and governance. <br>📳 Let me show you how. I invite you to connect with me<br>♻️ Share forward, follow for more </p><p>Powered by Freshriver and GovernanceAI.</p>
