Bill Jensen quotes:

The choices you make create your future.

Your past is handing you a tool you can use to leap into your future: the crucible moments from your own life. The power you need is in looking back to look forward.

Future strong is adventurous self-mastery. Unlocking your future by running toward the unknown, with the wondrous soul of a child and the drive of a force that will not be stopped.

Choosing to know yourself deeply hands you a torch to see beyond yourself, into the future. Into a strong future.

To be future strong, you will face difficult hardships. Usually, there is no absolutely right or absolutely wrong choice. The key is to be intentional: Choosing the best hardships for your best future.

Future strong builds actions upon reflection, questions, curiosity, seeking to understand root causes and systemic connections.

Embracing personal vulnerability is required if you wish to work, play and succeed in the future.

Future strong is letting go of what no longer serves you. Quickly.

Everyone has a right to a strong and independent future: All of us have the right, and personal obligation, to choose whether or not company-driven hardships and sacrifices, overall, are shackling or strengthening our future. And to keep that right, each of us must be our own best advocate.

Working for a company must help individuals achieve their dreams and goals more efficiently and effectively than they could achieve them elsewhere.

Future strong individuals will not take on personal sacrifices, hardships and corporate crap that sidetrack them from their dreams and goals.

The future is personal.

Future strong cultures and relationships are built upon intense 'I have your back' bonds.

Most companies are not respectful of each individual's time.

Far too much corporate stupidity is disguised as cost-saving efficiencies.

Far too much horrific wast of human capacity is disguised as order, predictability, and minimizing uncertainty.

The future of work revolution begins one person at a time.

Before tomorrow becomes your legacy, come the choices you must make today.

To understand what makes you future strong, and what being strong means, is to understand how and why you make choices.

Future strong is being focused enough and mindful enough and courageous enough to search for patterns and order when all others see chaos and noise.

Future strong strives for simplicity for all:Least amount of individual effort, energy and time to create maximum impact by each person.

Future strong is relationship-driven and joyful.Its best bet is on people. Its outcomes create joyfor others and ourselves.

Calling upon our crucible moments allows us to transcend our own limitations. Those moments create completely new possibilities within each of us.

If you want a strong future: Becoming secure with insecurity is the best security you can have.

Me comes before we. You need to become future strong before you can help others do the same.

Your career will include thousands of opportunities to transform yourself. Many will disrupt all that you have built. Each is an opportunity to choose to be vulnerable, to let go, to be reborn.

You live, work and lead others in the most exciting time, ever! Are you strong enough?

What will you do today so tomorrow becomes the legacy you wanted to leave?

No matter how crazed you get, no matter what pressures you're under, no matter who needs what by yesterday... Always remember: everything you do uses a portion of someone else's life.

Future strong is filled with disruptive heroes. Are you one?

We all deserve the best possible future.

YOU are the next big thing.

Who have you chosen to become?

Who will you choose to have your back?

Leaders: Your job in the future is to create a space where others feel save being vulnerable. Where fears and failures are openly discussed and used as lessons moving forward.

Despite several millennia of building best business practices, despite all the analysis and planning, and forced discipline and structure, what makes us human will never be cleaved from how work gets done.

Your choices are where your future begins.

It's time to consider: What are the toughest choices you face as you lead yourself and others into the future?

Always remember: everything you do uses a portion of someone else's life.

Future shackled is when uncertainty is the enemy that must be beaten into submission.

Building a strong future is living at the intersection of today and tomorrow: where living in the moment and who you have chosen to become dance together as one.

What's your one thing? When you pause long enough to hear its heartbeat, your one thing will take your breath away. When you pause long enough to feel it, your eyes will tear up or you won't be able to stop smiling, dancing and having a blast!

Do not wait for vulnerability to be thrust upon you by your company or the marketplace. That is when you lost control of your own destiny. Choose to disrupt yourself. Seek vulnerability on your terms, no one else's.

Future strong leadership means being willing to stand alone. Often, the times we feel most vulnerable are when we stand alone, before others join us. When we choose to be the first voice echoing above the silence. Standing strong, alone.

Future strong is grace, kindness, and gratitude within a pressure cooker.

Future shackled is when tomorrow is anchored, boxed and managed to maximize the minimizing of uncertainty.

The one thing that's missing to create a fundamental shift in work capacity: courage. Leadership courage.

Less than 10% of the mainstream workforce can achieve their dreams where they currently work.

The current relationship between companies and the workforce is like marrying into a dysfunctional family. Only you don't get to escape when the holiday meal is over.

Instead of getting the leaders we deserve, we can an abundance of ShitRollsDownhill Shovelers, ShitCatchers, and NewShitCreators.

We each must do a better job of choosing which hardships are best for our future, not just for the company's.

Most corporate infrastructures are massive time-wasters and demoralizing energy suckers.

It's time for you to be the hero of your own journey.

We each must select the best hardships for our best future.

You will experience 100 transformative moments every year.

People don't listen to marketplace logic; they listen for meaning and purpose. Attention can't be bought. Before any interaction, ask yourself: 'How do I want to make people feel or act?' Put yourself in their shoes. The role of a leader is to create an experience that will inspire people to take action.

Simplicity: The New Competitive Advantage in a World of More, Better, Faster.

The paradox of simplicity is that making things simpler is hard work.

Simplicity is power. The power to do less of what doesn't matter and more of what does.

Simpler companies are user centered. They adapt to the needs of day-to-day decision makers.
