Don’t Let Success to Make You Feel Comfortable.

Posted on September 2, 2010 by Ivana Sendecka

Hello SCG,

9th month of 2010 just kicked off and I must admit that last couple of weeks were full of precious “sneezing about my work“. Many people would describe featuring my story in the book The Truth About Leadership as: “It must be like cherry on a cake for you, isn’t it?” Do you know what was first blink of a thought (after such comparison), which came into my mind? “It’s not really like cherry on the cake.”

So, what it is like? How do I perceive success or recognition? Isn’t it topping off my efforts? Nope! It is not… So, let me share with you how I look at success.

Posted on August 24, 2010 by Ivana Sendecka

Dear SCG,

I am so honored, that I have a privilege to “ship” this blog post for YOU! After one year of giving my all (literally) to what I believe in, the greatest payback ever took place via “sneeze” by THE Jim Kouzes.

Jim’s limitless generosity was exemplified (again!) by replying to my email, in which I have asked him: “Jim, could you answer 5 questions about your new book for readers of my blog, so we can spread the word around?”

Jim responded instantly: “I would be delighted to respond to your 5 questions.“

SCG,  please welcome Jim Kouzes, who will tell us more about new book co-authored with Barry Posner (“meet” Barry on picture above).

The Truth About Leadeship

Enjoy the Truth!

Hello SCG,

this is an emergency shipment with a book review of a novel which touched me deeply. This tiny book by J.D. Salinger blew my mind away.

Do You Know Who Your “Sneezers” Are?

Posted on August 17, 2010 by Ivana Sendecka

Hey SCG,

I am SO humbled , that I can “ship” today’s post. I have been waiting for this shipping moment for more than 6 months. Only now I feel eligible to introduce you a concept of sneezers.

Do you know who is a “sneezer”?

This term was brought into my  and world’s attention in March 2010 in a video-book= vook by THE Seth Godin – Unleashing the SuperIdeavirus.

Why did I have to wait for more than half a year to talk about sneezers? Well, because Inspiring Shipments (#IS) is a blog for doers and for those who can tell stories of walking the talk. I don’t talk theory, I talk about experienced experiences. Therefore,  let me share with you my story about sneezers, so you can get inspired and you too can reflect on: Why are “sneezers” important for you, for your business and for sustainable future of your art?
