I’m so happy it resonates!

Thank you Khaled! 🙏🏼

I’m so glad that it resonated with you as much as it did with me!

And just like the reframe, some trans-framing supports our goals, and other times it’s an exercise that teaches us something new to help us move forward with more wisdom.

@@inner-architecture That's pretty cool. Did you ever realize that there is one of the most valuable companies of the world which even incorporates it into corporate lingo. There it is always the Day 1...

Love it!!

Would you be open to sharing of the TedTalk? I’d like to know more. I’m not familiar with this, as the event I’m attending is the Inner Development Goals Forum in Caux.

@@inner-architecture No problem at all. I admire your work. It's the Ted Talk with the name N5t Z5ro where he opens an equation of the influencing factors to CO2 levels. Will send it to your mail, not sure if this comment goes through. The whole topic is sometimes blocked.

It was TED2010, mail is underway.

There are so many different possible places to start, but a great place is with something I call a LifeCV: A “Life CV” focuses on both personal and professional achievements that are defined by the momentous occasions in one’s life. It could relate to conquering fears, taking risks, overcoming obstacles, etc. This is a way to catalog some of the events that shaped your character and to observe the “red threads” of the values, gifts, passions and skills that drive you in life. *Be sure to do this exercise when you are well rested and in a calm state. Set aside 1 hour for this exercise, and consider utilizing a number of resources to spark your memories - photographs, old journals, past work CVs, ... anything that will help remind you of past events and life experiences. For each set of 5 years from birth, as yourself the following questions: 0-5 years of age: 1. What were the Significant Life Events? 2. What were your Key Impact Moments? 3. What were your Biggest Lessons Learned? 4. What Key Skills did you Obtain/cultivate? 5. What are your Biggest Gratitudes? (Repeat for each section of life until your current age…so 5-10, 10-15, etc) * When you reflect back after you are done with the exercise, what trends and observations do you see? What are you most proud of cultivating? Perhaps this is an interesting place to begin exploring…what do you think?

@@inner-architecture Thanks Rebecca for your focused reply. Apart from the structure, I appreciate the suggestion of 1 hour. That scooping encourages me to just dive in and do it and avoid overthinking. You are a generous soul

This is why I believe it’s so important to raise our awareness, build wisdom and remain curious. We can ask questions and continuously choose to actively create ourselves and our stories based on our values and how we want to show up in the world. When I outsource my thinking without question…I lose connection to self.

Thank you! 😃

Balancing listening and sharing is a huge part of building connection with someone (or a group of people). When it comes to listening, a big part is to listen for common ground or curiosity instead of “listening to respond”. By this, I mean that you listen to find those bridges of commonality, or things that you would like to understand more about the person in front of you. (sometimes I find myself trying to seem smart or competent instead of really trying to learn more about the person I’m speaking with.) And to be clear, it’s not about removing ourselves completely from a conversation. But it IS about developing a deep sense of curiosity about the other person, and bringing that curiosity into the discussion. One thing that may help is something called the meta-perspective, and this requires some self-awareness on our side. It involves observing our own thoughts and (if fitting) speaking them out loud as a way of sharing a view inside of our own head. For example, maybe I find something that someone said interesting but also confusing. Instead of just nodding and smiling, I could observe that confusion and ask a question like: “ I’m really interested in what you just said, but I find myself also confused. Can you share more about that?” Often it is very simple questions like this that open the doors for deeper connection. Out of curiosity, do you have any specific questions or examples of how you would like to connect better?

🙏🏼🙏🏼

Absolutely

❤️ Me too. I’m glad it resonated with you. Sending big hugs Jeff!

I can imagine it shows up a lot in this realm, both with students and professors/administrators. in fact, it’s hard to imagine a realm where it doesn’t show up very often.

🙏🏼

Thank you for your kind words, Hope 🙏🏼 And we are very close! ENFJ, so a lot of resonance.

@@inner-architecture that would explain the beautiful confidence you have in front of the camera. Well done, milady. 💖

My initial thought is the film and TV industry, but I’m curious where the question comes from. (I guess there is an “industry” for just about anything)

@@inner-architecture You often speak of your lovely clients. And I am convinced they *really* need your skills and advice. 😊 The question itself arises out of the village in D1vos next week. I can only assume that some owners of Big companies will search advice. In spite of all the communicated crisis and threat scenarios. You could lift weight from their shoulders if you say: That there are some real challenges ahead and some threats are inflated by the drama industry. Hope this comment resonates with you. Now I have uncovered what I think is the origin..... (Never would fork out money for a ticket there. Money is better invested in valuable advice.) And don't forget a colorful interior.

🙏🏼 thank you!

Thank you for sharing your observations. And I’m trying to level up my own game of sharing, and continue to learn and grow the craft of digital Storytelling. I really appreciate your encouragement.

It’s a really interesting way that you share this thought that most educated to be consumers instead of tellers of stories. I’m reflecting on it, and perhaps it’s an interesting video to create soon. ;)
