Why Russell Simmons is my #1 Role Model…
Jun 30th, 2007 by Vikram Rajan
Who Inspires You? Who all compels you to grow your personal brand of excellence?
Russell Simmons is a pioneer of the most influential social movement of our generation. Last week I was able to attend a talk he gave. And not being shy, I asked him about his Role Models.
Russell Simmons has a new book called Do You! He admits that it features success principles easily found in all scriptures and other self-help books. But he appeals to a community (the hiphop generation) that many “self-help gurus” and preachers cannot reach.
His Full-Spectrum personal brand of excellence fulfills all 4 quadrants of my Role Model Collage:
1) Personal Qualities
2) Professional Qualities
3) Professional Quantities
4) Professional Quantities.
In the attached 10 minute audio, I walk you step-by-step on how to envision your own Role Model Collage. It’s easy to create. It’s fun to do. And a wonderful group and team building exercise.
More importantly, it helps you re-mind yourself and align your habits on a day-to-day basis. It also helps bring others into your wavelength. You can build deep rapport with others through your public Role Model Collage.
We should have as many role models as the number of roles we play everyday. We should have as many role models as the different kinds of success we enjoy. We become how we see ourselves. We can see ourselves as a collage of those we admire, want to emulate, and enjoy equal success!
