Most Influential Person
- My faith. The Wisdom of Soloman
Effect On Emotions
- Regarding emotions, I am mindful of this balance between results and relationships. I now refer to that relationship as grit and Grace.
- I have read the works of Daniel Goldman and his focus on emotional intelligence and that has helped me understand that a key element of emotional intelligence is understanding your emotions.
- That knowledge also helps me recognize and validate my emotions. I now know how to controll and manage them.
- So, first being knowledgeable and second being mindful of that knowledge has helped me.
Thoughts On Breathing
-
When I arise in the morning and go to bed at night I try to center myself with standard breathing exercises at least 80% of the time.
-
I do that to slow my heart rate, clear my mind and prepare me for the day or prepare me for a good night's rest
Bullying Story
- When I speak, I speak generally about the topics about which I write obviously.
And and I received comments. From a talk that I do, I will receive a message that says, I really like the way you did this, and then I'll receive negative comments that say I really don't like the way you did this.
-
I'm a man of Faith and I am not Faith forward in everything that I do but I don't shy away from using a passage of Scripture to emphasize a point. People will say I really appreciate how you used your faith to emphasize that point. Then I will have people say, I really wish you wouldn't share your faith in the presentation.
-
The way my two field guides are written, The Innovators Field Guide and The Top Performers Field Guide, they are written In short, vignettes. They have a thought-provoking title, usually a quote that unpacks that title. And then there is a 3 to 5-minute reading vignette. Think of a mindfulness guide or a devotional book.
-
That is followed by 3 or 4 catalysts or accelerators. What I mean by that are thought provoking questions relative to the reading to help the reader think about their situation.
-
The intent is to help them with their problem and to move themselves or their organization forward.
