[0:00]So the question is what techniques or practices can help us cut through the challenges that are in our way to acting our way to confidence and growth.

[0:09]So I started thinking about people I admired. Someone specific. And there was something about thinking of someone I admired that brought this element of additional capabilities and excellence.

[0:20]It also made me feel a little accountable to act on whatever came to mind.

[0:25]And these practices evolved into today, what is the hot shot rule. It is the act regularly of thinking about my role, everything I have, the challenges, the opportunities.

[0:37]Envisioning someone I admire in my role, asking myself what's one thing that person I admire would do differently to make that situation better.
