Embrace the Unknown and Unlock Your Hidden Genius by Victoria Labalme — Lionesses of Africa
Book Review
Every entrepreneur is in search of inspiration – an innovative idea to elevate their business. In Risk Forward: Embrace the Unknown and Unlock Your Hidden Genius by author Victoria Labalme, she helps you to discover how to embrace uncertainty, trust your intuition and achieve success.
In her new book Risk Forward, presentation strategist and performing artist Victoria Labalme shares her experience of working with over 700 organizations, entrepreneurs running multimillion-dollar businesses and Hollywood celebrities. She’s found that some of the most successful companies and creative endeavours didn’t start with a plan or a goal. They started with an idea and figured out the next steps as they went. In Risk Forward, she helps you do the same in your own life and work, giving you permission not to know exactly where you’re heading. Victoria uses principles drawn from the performing arts to prove that uncertainty is not the enemy, but a crucial step on your unique path, and to show that even when your plans and goals aren’t clear, you can follow your curiosity, interests and ideas forward.
In Risk Forward, you’ll learn how to:
-
Discover the ‘noble intent’ behind your work
-
Follow ‘the idea that leads to the idea’
-
Trust your own internal timing
-
Listen to others – but not too much
-
Defy your category while remaining within it
