Did you know that according to Arbinger Institute, the brain defaults to focusing on what’s wrong 80% of the time?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This default results in a great deal of energy focused toward\u00a0what we don’t want<\/strong> on the part of\u00a0leaders and\u00a0their teams. In turn,\u00a0your baseline for leadership can quickly become frustration.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are some of the costs to an\u00a0organization as a result:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Low productivity impacting project timelines.<\/li>\n
  2. The need to continually redo work leading to burnout and a sense of defeatism.<\/li>\n
  3. Higher turnover and sick days.\u00a0<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Because many people are unaware of this important distinction,<\/strong>\u00a0frustration is more the baseline in leadership and in life rather than empowerment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    What needs to change?<\/h3>\n

    When we begin to understand the evolution of our brain, we find that this default is a result of our often over developed survivor brain and the untapped technology of our\u00a0newer brain, sometimes referred to as our ‘executive brain’.<\/p>\n

    And know this, our newer brain is literally our ticket to more organically achieving our dreams and aspirations with less force, stress and frustration.<\/p>\n

    And just like any breakthrough information, having the wisdom and experience of a coach or teacher to initially lead the way is vital because when we don’t, the brain defaults to focusing on what’s wrong and in that we experience more of what we don’t want.<\/p>\n

    scheduling a complimentary empowerment \u00a0session here .<\/a><\/p>\n

    If you want to get started straight away and\u00a0strengthen your executive brain do this:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Before interacting with another person, check in with yourself. \u00a0<\/strong>Is your cortisol jacked up from a previous meeting?
      \nIf so, reset yourself because the likelihood of your having a negative impact in your next meeting is pretty high. Your lower brain is already looking for the next problem.<\/li>\n
    2. From a calm and empowered place, consider your impact\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0before you even enter into any conversation. Be intentional with a phrase something like this one: Relationship before Task.
      \n<\/em><\/li>\n
    3. GET curious<\/strong> while \u00a0interacting. \u00a0Curiosity \u00a0interrupts the systematic meaning making, assumptions and judgments of our brain.<\/li>\n
    4. Rinse & Repeat. \u00a0<\/strong>Routinize these steps so your executive brain power becomes strong.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you want to transform your leadership and evolve your organization, \u00a0consider scheduling a complimentary discovery session here .<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
