BUSINESS LEADERSHIP ON “RELATIONSHIPS FOR SUCCEEDING”
TIP OF THE WEEK:
Last week and tip #1 was about learning to read others:
- Practice of observing the posture in others and their tone of voice as they speak. Consider the state of their emotions and the story they are telling themselves.
This weeks tip #2:
- Now notice how the body and spoken language of others affect you. Begin to explore how they influence your thoughts in either a negative or positive way. Notice if your reaction is to stay open with understanding or do you close off and dismiss their contribution? What is your body language?
This week notice your body language, comfort level and thoughts that arise with your employees, peers and clients. Ask yourself, “How am I being influenced by ………..?
- Observe your tone of voice, body stance (soft and comfortable or rigid and controlled)
All skilled, influence-empowered people harness their own behavior first.

Blaming
All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you.

BUSINESS LEADERSHIP – Integrating Mind & Posture for success
TIP for this WEEK – JUNE 21ST:
Learn to read others:
- Did you try the exercise for releasing tension and changing your mood?
- If you did you will have experienced how body can affect the mind.
- Now how can you take this information to support others to bring them into the connection you are hoping for?
This first step is taking it to the next level. At work (and home) start to notice the tension in others. If you are feeling bored you start fidgeting. If you are frightened you may experience a dry mouth. Become curious about what others are experiencing in your interactions.
This week begin a practice of observing the posture in others and their tone of voice as they speak. Consider the state of their emotions and the story they are telling themselves.
All skilled, influence-empowered people begin with this first step.

Tip for connecting:
Learning to differentiate your thoughts. Purpose: to notice the source of your actions. Reason: Not everyone has the same past as you so cannot fit into your perspective! If you want to connect (rather than have conflict) it is important to notice the difference between your automatic response based on old stories and what is happening in the “now” ~ present moment.

Facilitating couple groups is a powerful experience….
Dialogue series for couples wrapped up last night for the summer. It ended on an honest note of expressing how this experience was for people in the group and how to move forward with options for practice and future connection. We focused on how if you don’t use it you lose it! This means if you are shifting your conscious awareness one sentence at a time, you need a tribe to practice with for support to stay in connection and develop different speaking habits. This begs the question, do you have a practice tribe that is committed to expressing honestly and listening with empathy in a way that provides the witnessing and acceptance that is needed for a shift in behavior to happen?
Working with couples in a group like this has been one of the most powerful experiences I have had in facilitating learning groups for shifting consciousness and behavior awareness one sentence at a time. It has allowed me a glimmer into how deeply we love and in turn feel pain when we become enemies in our inability to relate, understand and equally hear each others point or perspective. Think about the power in our personal coupling. After-all, it is our parents coupling relationship that shaped us, how we feel, think, react, love, fight, hate….
