Keiko Anderson: The Magic Elements of Success? Be Yourself. Take Risks. Love.

Keiko Anderson is one of the smartest, most successful people I know. She is a trained social worker and a respected attorney. She runs her own thriving family law practice, and you can also find her in the pulpit at her church some weekends leading a women’s conference. But the role she is most proud of is that of wife and mother. She freely states that the nurturing of relationships that she learned within her family taught her to relate, to empathize and to show compassion. Those aforementioned three skills form the foundation of her successful work life and her abiding faith. 

In a time when so many people are focused on “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” (an excellent Broadway musical by Weinstock, Gilbert, Burrows and Loesser), and companies invest millions of dollars annually in consultants and executive coaching to address a workforce that faces rising disengagement and discontent, Keiko lays out a clear roadmap for people who are looking for a lasting and genuinely successful life and career. 

1. “I don’t accept your ‘no’ for me. I accept your ‘no’ for you, but I don’t accept it for me.”
2. “I am not going to agree with your limitations on what I can do.”
3. “We all want to have a voice and be heard.”
4. “The magic element of success is being yourself.”
5. “Love your neighbor as yourself.” She quotes from the Gospel of Matthew

Her five-step recipe is that simple and complicated, because as she reminds us, we are often operating from our brokenness and our fear of stepping out on faith into the dreams of the unknown. And sometimes, when a valuable gift is handed to you, have good sense enough to humbly receive it.
