Success cues from Crickets [Video]

On September 21, 2009, in Coaching Moments, by Sanyika

Every year a group of Crickets gather under my office window to “sing their song.”

If you’ve ever had the “pleasure” of listening to the prolonged chirp…chirp…chirp… of a Cricket you will undoubtedly question your sanity.

Especially if you can’t seem to find the source of the noise – only hear it.

Today I have a full plate of coaching calls, things-to-do and goals to meet so when the familiar sound started
first slowly and then reached it’s fever pitch I was annoyed – at first.

Then I paused and asked myself a different question, “Is there  something I can learn from these creatures?”

Watch this quick video and see what we can all learn from the 3 core characteristics of a Cricket…

May you continue be be like the Cricket as you strive to be:

CONSISTENT

RELENTLESS

INSISTENT

Finish strong!

    If one slows down the sound of crickets one will hear what sounds like choirs of angels singing … AWESOME!

    All of nature is praising its creator.

    The first time I heard it, not knowing what I was listening to, I was moved to tears with the beautiful angelic choir’s voices.

    When I then heard the SAME CD sped up its natural speed and found out I was listening to crickets, I was TOTALLY in awe.

    I too like to play with acronyms so, when I have one for cricket I will send it to you.

    Thanks for the great info.

    One more cricket tip,

    Be self publicizing! Make sure you let others know of your plans and and even more importantly successes. Perhaps you need to be a little more subtle than crickets however don’t be a “shrinking violet” either. If you have a win stand up and yell “yes got it” or “yes sir that’s what I’m talking about”… or what ever in your local vernacular is said for a success. People will say why are you so upbeat… “I’ve just had a win you say :-)
