Leo kicks off today’s discussion with a phrase that speaks to what inhibits too many of us from taking meaningful action – psychological safety. Quite simply, we’re afraid. The result? Inaction.
The highest achievers lean into doing things and figuring it out as they go. It’s largely trial and error activity unbothered by imperfection.

“Don’t limit your challenges; challenge your limits.” ― Jerry Dunn
Jerry Dunn was known as the “Marathon Man” because in the year 2000 he ran 200 marathons. His quote speaks to this episode of the What Anyone Can Do Podcast – the high value derived when others will caringly challenge us to help us achieve more. Specifically, sometimes it’s about helping people achieve exactly what they say they want. High-performing teams and groups are able to openly and safely challenge each other for ongoing improvement and growth.

The What Anyone Can Do Minuteis a new video series created to accomplish two goals: 1) Give you a valuable takeaway in one minute; and, 2) use that takeaway as fuel to take a deeper dive toward doing the things anyone can do that most of us never will.
I’ll release 2-3 videos per week on my LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter feeds. They’ll also appear on my website’s Video page, where you’ll find the entire collection as they go live. I’ve released two this week already and by visiting https://leobottary.com/videos, you’ll get to preview the one I’ll be releasing in the next few days.
If there’s a topic you’d like me to cover, leave your suggestion as a comment, and you may find it featured in an upcoming episode of the WACD Minute! Enjoy!
