Contentment is crucial because it can resemble non-attachment. Non-attachment is often discussed in terms of liberating oneself from suffering, especially concerning materialization and avoiding fixation on specific outcomes. While we emphasize visualization, it's essential not to rigidly expect everything to align precisely as visualized. Leave space for your higher self and higher mind to manifest in a manner that aligns with your greater good. #Contentment #NonAttachment #Visualization #HigherSelf #Alignment

Last week I joined Skylyr Cunningham at Lean Frontiers, Inc. for a webinar where we discussed my lessons learned and thoughts that have evolved since I wrote People Solve Problems. Here's a recording of that webinar. There's probably a couple of topics in there which will be ideas for further exploration on my YouTube channel. Thanks for the converation Skylyr. #problemsolving #continuousimprovement #leanculture #problemsolvingskills

THE PEAK OF CONNECTION In a recent training session, participant Nina gave an amazing speech. It was a pathos-driven story project, and her subject was 'Bullying at school.' From the very first moment, Nina captured our attention with a gripping hook: “No, I’m not gonna sit next to her. She has the plague!” The story unfolded—dramatically and beautifully—culminating in a powerful climax. She struggled, but was brave, stood her ground, stayed seated next to the bully, and was awarded the weekly prize for being the bravest girl in the class. I have heard, witnessed, and evaluated countless emotional speeches. But this one was different, in one key aspect. And I wasn’t the only one who felt it—several participants echoed the same sentiment. It was in the way Nina used direct speech, her vocal variety, her intonation, her facial expressions, and how she conveyed her feelings of helplessness, anger, and joy. And those tears... There was something different. Nina didn’t just talk about her experience. She didn’t merely relive that moment. She REFELT it. We were all blown away by Nina's storytelling. Lesson learned: Nothing connects more than refeeling. So, when you gave your last business talk, did you talk about it, relive it, or refeel it? #fminsights #rhetoric #publicspeaking #storytelling #audienceengagement #audienceconnection

The real fabric of #TRANSFORMATIONAL_COACHING is in the matrix If you are too concerned about how you look or sound, you miss a chance for your client to experience the much needed transformation Impression impedes your listening skills and you'll communicate things that have no power to bring about real impact.

Just A Thought – Inflection refers to changes in tone and emphasis when speaking. Those who tend to use a rising inflection (starting with a lower pitch and ending higher, causing the sentence to end like a question) may irritate those around them or stop themselves from being taken seriously. Instead, use a downward inflection (going from a higher tone to lower) to convey confidence. #legalcaster
