Linda Lindquist

Hello,

I’m excited to share that I am now a Professional EOS Implementer. After 20+ years of facilitating leadership teams to strategic clarity I’m very enthusiastic to add this strong process for consistently implementing success.  I love helping entrepreneurial and leadership teams get what they want from their businesses. Our EOS process helps them gain traction in their organization and to run their business instead of their business running them.  This translates to greater profit, accountable teams, more fun – and wildly effective meetings.

Professional EOS Implementer

EOS delivers a simple proven system that helps you get your leaders 100% on the same page resulting in a more disciplined and accountable team who will drive continuous improvement throughout your organization.

Contact me to schedule a 90 Minute Meeting to learn how EOS can transform your business and life. Let’s discuss your goals and how we can work together to achieve them. Contact me at this EOS link.

A Mountain of Courage

TEDex Talk, A Mountain of Courage by Linda Lindquist-Bishop, Courageous Thinking, Inc.

Giving a TEDx talk is a challenging adventure.

I really enjoyed sharing some of my story and the stories of people I admire – those who have had the courage to embrace and excel in the face of difficult change. It has been rewarding and inspiring to hear from the Traverse City attendees and YouTube viewers that my talk gave them language, and a visual image, for where they are in their own journey of change. I also met some very talented people among my fellow TEDx Traverse City speakers, who I will introduce to you in the days ahead.

By watching ‘A Mountain of Courage’ you will learn more about my personal journey – the journey that led me to create Courageous Thinking Inc. Every day I am energized by the challenge of assisting adventurous leaders who seek excellence in their personal growth, and strive for success in their organizations.

 Where are YOU in your life right now?

  • Are you looking for ‘what’s next’?
  • Do you have a clear vision of where you want to go?
  • Are you questioning how to get there?

Thank your for taking the time to share in this ever evolving journey with me.
I’d love to hear where you are on your ‘Mountain of Courage’ – linda@cgthink.com

Inspired by Change,

The Hail Mary of Innovation: Google X

Google glassesLast week I had the opportunity to watch the future in action. As a Google Glass wearing friend took my picture, posted it to Instagram and emailed it to me – all with a hands-free one sentence voice command.

Exploring the opportunities, implications and risk of this technology is and will fill volumes, courtrooms and lawsuits. Today we look at ‘where did this technology come from?’
Read More.

Inside the halls of Google X lies a very different organizational culture, structure and breed of people that are developing, trying to break and launching new breakthrough technology. Take a look:

  • CAPTAIN OF MOONSHOTS:  Now there’s a business card to aspire to! Expectations of success are extremely low – but if/when they come – the results are world changing.
  • FAILING IN FULL VIEW:  When Leadership can fail in full view, then it gives everyone permission to be more like that.
  • RAPID EVALUATION:  ‘Why put off failing until tomorrow or next week when you can fail now?’ Encourage those who admit mistakes or defeat in group meetings.
  • THE TEAM:  People who want to build stuff and who aren’t easily daunted.

Google is uniquely equipped at a unique moment of history with the potential to create world changing innovation. Once you eliminate the fear of failure – anything is possible!
