Rescripting To Becoming Your Own Creator

Key Points:

  • Proactivity is based on the unique human endowment of self-awareness. Through imagination, we can visualize the uncreated worlds of potential that lie within us. Through conscience, we can come into contact with the universal laws or principles with our own singular talents and avenues of contribution, and with the personal guidelines within which we can most effectively develop them. 
  • It also means to begin each day with values firmly in mind. As the challenges come, I can make my decisions based on those values. I don't have to react to the emotion, the circumstance. I can be truly proactive, value-driven because my values are clear.
  • We should develop a personal mission statement or philosophy or creed to focus on what you want to be (character) and to do (contributions and achievements) and on the values or principles upon which being and doing are based. 
  • People can't live with change if there's not a changeless core inside them. The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value. With a mission statement, we can flow with changes.

At The Center

  • Whatever is at the center of our life will be the source of our security, guidance, wisdom, and power. 
    • Security represents your sense of worth, your identity, your self-esteem, your basic personal strength or lack of it.
    • Guidance means your source of direction in life. Encompassed by your map, your internal frame of reference that interprets for you what is happening out there. 
    • Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to one another.
    • Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something.
Security and clear guidance bring true wisdom, and wisdom becomes the spark or catalyst to release and direct power.

5 Dimensions of Win/Win

Key Points: It begins with character and moves toward relationships, out of which flow agreements. It is nurtured in an environment where structure and systems are based on Win/Win. And it involves process; we cannot achieve Win/Win ends with Win/Lose or Lose/Win means. Character There are three character traits essential to the Win/Win paradigm. Integrity, Maturity, Abundance Mentality.  Integrity is the values we place ourselves into. Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration.  Abundance Mentality is the paradigm that there is plenty out there for everybody. A character rich in integrity, maturity, and the Abundance Mentality has a genuineness that goes far beyond technique, or lack of it, in human interaction. If we search deeply enough within ourselves-beyond the scripting, beyond the learned attitudes and behaviors- the real validation of Win/Win, as well as every other correct principle, is in our lives.  Relationshi...

Are You A Gap Filler?

 What is Gap Filler You May Ask?  A gap filler is someone who has the ability and awareness to see opportunities and challenges around them, then fill them.  When there is a gap in communication, someone has to fill the void.  When there is a gap in leadership, someone has to fill the void.  When there is a gap in love, someone has to fill the void. When there is a gap in work, someone has to fill the void. It is self-explanatory to understand that a gap filler, fills gaps.  It is also very easy to misunderstand the importance and strength it takes to be a gap filler. Practically this looks like covering a shift of another co-worker, looks like overcommunicating to others that may bring conflict upon yourself, taking the burden of hurt from others and their trama, as well as taking the blame knowingly when another leader falls short. This is a heavy burden sometimes because you have to be the glue that holds seemingly everything together. But, take heart, b...

Ways To Effectively Understand People

Key Points: There are four ways developmental stages to listening and understanding people: Mimic Content=Mimicking content is easy. You just listen to the words that come out of someone's mouth and you repeat them. You're hardly even using your brain. Rephrase the Content=This time, you have put the meaning into your own words. Reflect Feeling=Now you're not paying as much attention to what they're saying as you are to the way they feel about what they are saying. Rephrase the Content and Reflect the Feeling= Include both the second and the third stage. People want to be understood. And whatever investment of time it takes to do that will bring much greater returns of time as you work from an accurate understanding of the problems and issues and from the high Emotional Bank Account that results when a person feels deeply understood. Then Seek To Be Understood: The early Greeks used these three words to contain the essence of seeking to first understa...
