How to not lose my cool.

I don’t like to lose my cool.

When life gets busy and demanding, I have been known to lose my cool.

Feeling Safe in a Chaotic World.

I have learned that shifting my reactions to feel safe is much easier than changing our chaotic world - and when I feel safe, I have energy to begin to change the world. Happy Canada Day!

Two Truths Call For Growth.

Two Truths Call For Growth: It feels like there is a lot of pressure on the truth. When we learn how to resolve our reactions to our beliefs, we can achieve a more compassionate understanding of our rapidly changing world.

Growth comes from being able to resolve two conflicting truths. Our reactions provide us with information that allows us to resolve our frozen perceptions, also known as our beliefs.

Redefining Truth.

Our simple definition for ‘truth’ as a fact or reality is closed, exclusive and reactive. It does not support growth, inclusiveness or creativity.

According to Merriam-Webster, an additional…

Rational explanations do not explain current leadership behaviour.

Given the pace of change and the increasing pressure of demands, leaders at all levels are responding based on their instinct, beliefs and attitudes. When pressure is applied to retrieve rational explanations, perceptions are triggered that ignite inflammatory thoughts and emotions. Policies are put in place to correct and…
