“The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function” 

— Albert Allen Barlett

Hey there!

I hope you enjoyed yesterday's contribution from Kam.

Here's the concluding part

============================================================

There are three potentials.

Known Potential: This is what can be observed, tested and measured. Height, weight, speed, IQ, etc. Reaching your known potential can be done with hard work and a little bit of focus.

Unknown Potential: Unknown potential is an emergent property. You won’t be able to tap into it with more work or longer hours. It is something that is already inside of you, dormant. Unknown potential is awakened through exposure, proximity and receptivity:

Exposure to people, places and things that tease it out of you

Proximity to those people, places and things.

Receptivity, because it’s not going to be something taught directly to you. Sometimes it’s overhearing a conversation between two people that awakens your unknown potential - and they don’t even know you heard it. Sometimes it’s just seeing how a group of people interacts.

When you do the work to reach your known potential and get the exposure and proximity to awaken your unknown potential the result is:

Full Potential: Exponential growth, impact and progress.

Full potential is also an emergent property, it emerges when your known potential and unknown potential are reached simultaneously. 

This is why as the world gets more digital and disconnected, in person connection will become a bigger advantage.

It’s a big reason why I'm are moving to more in-person events.

To tap into the unknown potential.

It also means I need to continue to curate the room with the right people, in the right places, around the right things.

========================================================

Tomorrow I'll share my perspective and bring it all together.

Till tomorrow..

Get out of your own way
