Gaining Greatness from the Bench: How Sitting Out Leads to Success

by | Nov 14, 2024 | Advertising, Branding, Creative Services

There’s a hidden advantage to sitting on the bench—a lesson I learned the hard way. Back in high school, I was benched as a sophomore for missing an early morning practice. I slept through my alarm, and despite all the excuses I came up with, it was ultimately my fault. But that moment became a turning point. I realized I had to work harder, think smarter, and make changes—like setting a second alarm—so it never happened again.
 
The lesson I learned back then applies just as much to the business world today. Sometimes, we find ourselves “benched”. We might not always think it’s fair, or even our fault, but what if we used that time to observe, reflect, and come back stronger?

The Michael Jordan Moment

Even the greatest players of all time had their moments on the bench. But they used that time wisely, turning it into fuel for their comeback. It’s not just about watching the game—it’s about learning from it, adapting, and finding the drive to be better.
