Halftime Speech
A great halftime speech rallies around a challenge to overcome.
It acknowledges potentially bad news and offers a reframed perspective.
A common purpose is established and a sense of community is reinforced in that moment.
This is the cognitive process of perspective taking.
You might walk into halftime feeling desolate or downtrodden.
A great halftime speech completely pivots your perspective of reality; while reality, itself, remains unchanged.
If a coach can reframe their team’s perspective at halftime, you can do the same for yours mid-project.
Your job as a leader is to remove barriers to performance.
Sometimes this means challenging your team to see the barrier is a fixed perspective.
Great moments are born from great coffee,
