Leadership topic - Alanis Morissette

What is your Mind actually telling you… and what has it filed, hidden, labeled, or left unnamed while you kept performing?

This series walks that question through all 7 empower vectors with 1 guide: a kid from Ottawa who was a Canadian teen-pop star at 17, got dropped, walked into a producer’s house in the San Fernando Valley at 19 with nothing left to protect… and made Jagged Little Pill, 33 million copies and 5 Grammys of first takes nobody cleaned up. Alanis Morissette built a career out of saying the unedited thing: the album of kept first takes, the song that holds 2 opposite true things without picking a side, the gentle single born from letting a veteran producer go second, the warm-up the whole world filed under the wrong label, the 18-month stop in India that momentum said she could not afford, the finished record that waited out every no, and, 25 years later, the song that finally gave her own hardest thing a name. Your Mind runs the same plays hers did… this week is about catching it in the act.

The 7 posts, 1 vector a day:

– Monday … Safe to engage your Mind? … “All I Really Want,” and the safe notes your team mistakes for you.
– Tuesday … Mind management … “Hand in My Pocket,” and the 2 true things you are holding at once.
– Wednesday … What partner eases your Mind? … “Head Over Feet,” and deciding who goes second on purpose.
– Thursday … Mind observations… … “Ironic,” and the label you filed too fast.
– Friday … letting your Mind wonder… … “Thank U,” and the stop your calendar keeps refusing.
– Saturday … execute when You Oughta Know… … the anniversary post: the work was already done before anyone said yes.
– Sunday … renew your Mind… or… … “Diagnosis,” and the name that starts the coming back.

Your “Simple… Not Easy” move for the week: pick the 1 post that made you flinch, and do its move first.
