76 The Power of Play with Speaker and Coach Jeff Harry

The Power of the Only

"When you are allowing yourself to embrace your Only, you are embracing you." - Jeff Harry

What is your Only moment and how are you going to show up?

Today's guest, Jeff Harry, thinks it's important that we all spend more time failing and being bored. He believes that we already have many of the answers we seek, and by simply unleashing our inner child, we can find our purpose and, in turn, help to create a better world.

I love his joyful energy and practical tips. He is an international speaker and coach who has worked with Google, Microsoft, Southwest Airlines, Amazon, and many more. He helps organizations infuse more play into the day-to-day and solve their major issues through play and positive psychology. He's also challenging the status quo with his innovative workshops.

"Play is the opposite of perfection." - Jeff Harry

In this episode, he shares how we can tap into our true selves and feel our happiest and most fulfilled so that we can continue to step into our power of the Only.

Listen in to learn the one question to ask yourself every day, how to use mischief to step into your power and how to break through your "upper limit." You will also hear his challenge for me and his breakthrough story that shows how not being ready can help you.

"Perfection is rooted in ego and shame." - Jeff Harry
