Correction is Essential to Power and Mastery

Hello wondrous Souls,

As you know, I love to share, so I thought I would share this piece again, written by Stewart Emery. It is one of my all-time favourites, which I heard for the first time back in 1991. His words resonated with me then and still do today. So, so true…

Mastery in our careers (and in our lives) requires that we constantly produce results beyond and out of the ordinary. Mastery is a product of consistently going beyond our limits. For most people, it starts with technical excellence in a chosen field and a commitment to that excellence. If you’re willing to commit yourself to excellence, to surround yourself with things that represent this excellence, your life will change.

It’s remarkable how much mediocrity we live with, surrounding ourselves with daily reminders that average is somehow acceptable. In fact, our world suffers from terminal normality. Take a moment to assess all the things around you that promote you being “average.” These are the things that prevent you from going beyond the limits that you have randomly set for yourself.

The first step to mastery is the removal of everything in your environment that represents mediocrity, and one way to attain that objective is to surround yourself with people who ask more of you than you would ordinarily give of yourself.

Didn’t your parents and some of your best teachers and coaches do exactly that? Another step on the path to mastery is the removal of resentment toward the masters. Develop compassion for yourself so that you can be in the presence of a master and grow from the experience. Rather than comparing yourself to (and resenting) people who have mastery, remain open and receptive. Let the experience be like the planting of a seed within you that, with nourishment, will grow into your own individual mastery.

You see, we are all ordinary. But rather than condemning one’s self for their “ordinariness,” a master will embrace that ordinariness as a foundation for building the extraordinary. Rather than relying on their ordinariness as an excuse for inactivity, they will use it instead as a vehicle for correcting themselves. It’s necessary to be able to correct yourself without invalidating or condemning yourself and others.­ It is best to use the results of the correction process to improve upon other aspects of your life.

Correction is essential to power and mastery.

Your Story Creates Your Value

“Did you know the most successful presentations are about 65% stories and 25% figures, with the remainder an explanation of your credibility?”

Even though a presentation needs many elements to create magic, it’s hard to deny the power a great story can add to a presentation.

A well-crafted story can take your audience far away from the world of business jargon and inspire them to truly feel your message, imagine scenarios, and envision fresh ideas. As a result of your story and the emotional impact of your tale, your audience will often remember the overall message of your presentation for many years to come.

For your presentations, consider starting with a story, ending with a story, or weaving a narrative throughout your entire presentation; whichever option you choose, your audience will relish the experience.

Here are a few more ideas on creating an effective presentation – it’s very important to develop your own lexicon; the language connected to your brand. This is what strengthens your story and creates quality engagement – You must first and foremost become a committed and talented storyteller of your own Brand!

• Live within your brand’s philosophy by telling your story well and only speaking that particular language around your audience/tribe/community.

• To serve your audience well, they have to recognize your lexicon as their language too – this is a large part of identifying who your tribe actually is.

• You must create and know the lexicon and story of your own Brand so well that you become fluent with its story and message, which helps others to pick it up and want to follow it and share it.

BIG TIP PEEPs – don’t copy other people’s lexicon and story thinking it will work for your personal brand and story. It is extremely important and necessary that your lexicon and story are BORN out of YOU; they need to be an expression of your authentic truth and lived experience.

That is what makes your message powerful!

What is your Purpose Pitch?

uylw

Have you ever wondered what makes a great Pitch? 

It’s PURPOSE!

A Purpose Pitch is created out of a passionate, creative, soul-stirring script that you share when someone asks that ever-present question… “So… what do you do”?

As many of you know I am a raving CONTEXT QUEEN, because I believe that context is the most important step in getting clear about your Life Purpose. I can’t stress this enough, because without it nothing really fits, whatever you are working on or forming must have a crystal clear CONTEXT that can confidently support whoever you want to be or whatever you choose to create.

But it can’t be like the old style elevator pitch… No Way! (boring/phony) Today your pitch has to be alive with the very essence of who you are.

It literally has to be born from your Spirit!

We now know that fully understanding your own story can build an effective personal brand, because it highlights your strengths and value as an emerging influencer.

Your ability to Dream, Create, Feel and Live your vision lives or dies on having an authentic Purpose Pitch that inspires people to think differently.

Here is my Purpose Pitch….. I love helping people connect to the value of their own STORY; their brand, their purpose.

Because that’s what I do best. I also love to partner up with people who practice adding value… through demonsrating trust and cordial collaboration.

Here is my personal formula –

My gift is… I see the Truth

What I love to do is… Conceptualize ideas spontaneously and effectively to reveal that truth, through a process of pattern recognition and trend forecasting. 

And what I am here to correct and transform in world is… Mediocrity, Mendacity and Misogyny  

It’s pretty simple I know, but that’s my Mission for sure… just let me do that and I am indeed one happy bunny. And sure, it does take a bit of discipline to arrive at that level of clarity, because it’s all about your habits, your daily practices and where you place your attention that counts – these are the things that affect how successful you are at meeting your Life Purpose.

If you set goals and then continue wasting your time on stuff that doesn’t matter and not moving your life forward… your dreams simply cannot come true. You need to birth them and that takes regular work on yourself, along with commitment and real dedication to your vocation.

Living Attributes Typology – encourages you to stay on purpose and create some new habits that will help you get to where you want to go in your life.

Unite Your Light WOMEN – at each community event, we focus on a particular “word and its meaning” and we always have a 2 min Purpose Pitch segment to participate in, along with the valuable face-to-face connecting with other like-minded women.

This is a great way of seeing if your Purpose Pitch connects with people. You begin to see what works and what doesn’t work, while still being in a safe and supportive environment.

But that’s not the only reason I want to enroll you in this amazing community. I am encouraging you to be part of my story, because our world needs amazing solutions in so many areas — economic, social, and environmental and that’s only a few.

It’s been my experience that I learn more about who I am and what I have to offer when I am in community. And have witnessed the same in so many other women. The simple act of sharing your authentic self with others builds trust, clarity, and unity around your life purpose.

Unite Your Light WOMEN – is a wonderful way for women to form valuable community connections… Somewhere to join with other women to be supported, celebrated, valued and empowered.

If you would like to know more about joining us…

The Star archetype is always ready to shine. She expands her sphere of influence by making quality connections. Her gift is humble but strong.    

Her call is this – ‘UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL’

Not the same, but equal.

I went to see this incredible and emotionally powerful movie last night, it was seven years in the making – UNITY is a new documentary that explores humanity’s hopeful transformation from living-by-killing into living-by-loving. It is a unique film about compassion for all beings, or all “expressions of life”, going beyond all “separation based on form”, and beyond perceiving opposites. Writer/Director Shaun Monson, collaborating with an astounding cast of 100 celebrity narrators (never before gathered in the history of filmmaking), presents a message of love, tragedy, and hope, all set against the backdrop of some of the most compelling 20th and 21st Century footage imaginable.

For me it was very painful on every level, my body could hardly bear the truth of where humanity still is – but I knew my spirit called me there last night to witness it, yet again.

I couldn’t just quickly flick or scroll through the images like I have learned to do on Facebook because I can’t stand the obscene cruelty in the world. I just had to sit there and honor the efforts of a fellow artist, who had the courage to show and tell a powerful story of the truth through his craft, film making.

The movie is presented in chapters, (like its predecessor EARTHLINGS) UNITY takes an in-depth look at what it truly means to be human, to be mortal, and to be incarnate in this world. The film explores our brief existence among the Cosmos (Chapter I), then moves on to the perceptions of our Mind (Chapter II), the nature of our Body (Chapter III), the infinite capacity of our Heart (Chapter IV), and ultimately to the mysterious energy of the Soul (Chapter V).

Initially, these chapters will appear unrelated to each other. But as the film progresses it becomes clear that all life is interconnected, and each chapter represents the totality of our mortal experience, which is only measured in decades.

With a cast of 100 voices all speaking as one voice, UNITY is a genuinely cinematic experience unlike any other. It is my heartfelt dream that soon, very soon we will come to experience that Diversity really does equal Dynamic.

Today I am full of Hope because that is what sustains me and aides in my quest to make a difference by simply adding true value where ever I can. #HUMAN #ANIMAL #TREE we are all family.

Heart to Heart my fellow Earthlings
