Most of you are aware by now that I am a big believer in the power of a change and innovation model called "The Bigger Game".
The word "Game" here just means what we are up to in life.
The model is a simple, but very powerful one. It changes lives. I've recently had the opportunity to present this model to a group of scientists and technologists whose comments included:
"It was great to explore a different way of thinking about taking action."
"This time provided me with an opportunity to realize I'm pretty bold and I've already played many Bigger Games in my life."
"I'm ready to finally take a Bold Action for the sake of my Bigger Game. And boy, is it big!"
"Fortune favors the bold." ~ Virgil
As you can see on the model, Bold Action is at the center of the game board, surrounded by all the other squares. The intentionality of it may be obvious. Bold Action partners with every other element to move your game forward.
Dictionary.com's definition of "bold" includes: not hesitating or fearful in the face of actual or possible danger or rebuff; courageous and daring; not hesitating to break the rules of propriety; forward; impudent; necessitating courage and daring; challenging.
This reminds me of someone who recently told me to be obnoxious for what I believe in. She thought we need a bit more obnoxiousness in the world to change it, and at times, I agree.

To find your Compelling Purpose and get in touch with what it is you personally hunger for is bold.
The GULP that feels like "Who do I think I am?" takes a Bold Action to move out of this square.
Bold Action is needed to admit that you need to invest in something you don't know about for the sake of your Game.
