Get Unstuck in Life! Disrupt Yourself with Whitney Johnson
Discover the secret to getting unstuck from Whitney Johnson, the foremost expert on disruptive innovation! Disrupting yourself is a process of stepping out of your paradigm, your patterns, and your weaknesses, to find a completely different way of getting ahead. When you're stuck in your career it can be all-consuming. Learn how to get unstuck in life.
Here a few tips on how to innovate. It's not enough to just choose a narrow focus--you've also got to choose an objective for that focus. You have to create "what" and "why"?
It means being strong, bold, creative, and putting yourself out there. This change management process may seem scary at first, but being a personal disruptor will help you grow in ways you never thought possible.
And we're wired for disruption--when we're sitting at our desks following the pack, we feel helpless, scared, potentially lost, and out of control. But when we begin to disrupt ourselves we step away from the pack, finding courage, self-agency, and alive. We wake up to the greatest possibilities in our lives, in our work, and in our careers.
In fact, studies show, that when you disrupt yourself at work or your industry, your stress goes way down, and you stand a far greater chance for success!
If you're feeling stuck, and find out just how great you were meant to be, by disrupting yourself!!!

Garry Ridge is the CEO of WD-40. He has served in that role for more than two decades, repeatedly disrupting the processes and the culture inside a company that’s best known for a selling a can of oil that silences squeaks.

So he disrupted himself with a letter he posted online detailing the leap he was about to take and off he went.
