Better Insights. Better Results.
Knowing the source of conflict is one of the first steps to dealing with it effectively. It's easy to blame communication as the source of conflict, but it's not always the case. In fact, it usually isn't. For example, communication is the source of conflict when styles get in the way, or there are misunderstandings about intent.
During my Influencer training, one of the key concepts we drilled into was “clarify meaningful results.” What are meaningful results? Well, before you waste time on the “how”, clarify the “what” you want, the “why” you want it, and the “when” you want it.
In my previous post, I talked about Vital Behaviors, which I learned about in my Influencer Training. I'm elaborating here on Crucial Moments because they are one of the key ways to help you find Vital Behaviors. A Crucial Moment is the point in time where you have a critical choice to make. It's the event or trigger where, depending on how you respond, you can positively or negatively impact results in a significant way. For example, a critical moment is when your alarm goes off in the morning. You can do your workout routine or you can hit the snooze alarm and put it off another day.
Dr. Rick Kirschner (aka Dr. K) shares how to bring out the best in people.
What's your story? No, not once upon a time ... what's your story of who you are, where you've been, and where you're going? Your stories package and share your experience. They help you stand out if you share the right things. What are the right things? Share your unique experiences, your values, and your strengths ... and even relevant flaws. Your human after all and everybody has flaws. It's not what happens to you, but how you respond and you're the author of your life. Choose your adventures. Write your stories with might. Lead yourself first and use your stories to guide yourself and others.
