I read a great article by John Baldoni a while back called: -
“Sum Up Your Leadership in Six Words”
You can read it here on the Harvard Business web site.
It got me thinking… what would our story be if we had to determine it in six words or less? That is, what words would I use to describe the essence of me? Funnily, a bunch of *F* words sprung to mind:
Freedom, fun, fierce, fantastic, footloose, formerly, fellowship and friend were some … and then the following six word sentence came to me:
Fiercely, fantastic friendships, founded on freedom.
Hmmmm, yes nice. I like to think that the friendships I have and nurture are fiercely fantastic simply because there is no judgement involved. Friends have the freedom to express their view of the world and it is this diverse perspective that keeps us all engaged and interested. Yes, nice!
Now tell me about you in exactly six words.
What sentence best determines the essence of you?




I think that this would be me in 6 words:
“ambitious, freedom loving, ball of energy”
Ha … love your work!
