Change 1 PERCEPTION And You Can Change It All!

All too often, we go through our day, deciding what we’ll experience before an event actually takes place. We are each ‘primed’ by our experiences. We take an past experience, and label it, and then hold that label in our mind as our ‘quick’ reminder of how we perceive the person or event.

For instance, when you look at your calendar and see who you will be meeting with, you’re inclined to label them and judge them based on past experience of your interaction with them, rather than wait to see if it’s repeated this time, or not.

Today, take a frank look at a meeting you have with other people you know ‘well.’ Ask yourself:

“What am I assuming about them and their behavior?”

Right down one assumption you have about each person you’ll be seeing. For instance, “Jerry - impatient” might be one of your notes.

Now, find a different word for the description of each person. You might relabel Jerry as “passionate” or “hoping I’ll see it his way.” Find a new label for each person and hold that label in mind as you start your meeting with them. Make a point to remind yourself of your new label everytime you ‘hear’ the old label creeping into your mind.

Let me know what you come up with in the comment box below.

What Change Are You Ready For In Business?

We each say we want to know more, be more skillful, insightful, successful. And yet, how often do we deliberately learn, reflect, and use our learning to become more talented, productive, effective?

When you think about the way you are ‘primed’ how does it affect you and your business?

OK, why another video? Because they’re fabulous!

I’ve just kicked off my own work with new clients and a new coach and my brain is a buzzing with idea - each of them a tool for you.

And I no sooner decided on my theme for the article than I had the joy and laughter of this presentation about simplicity. As you know, I’m passionate about leverage and here was my own opportunity to use the fun and insightfulness of Al Seckel AND to share it with you.

Don’t you just love having your perception teased?

The reason I’m so passionate about great conversation is that it’s a verbal approach to shifting perspectives in the same way Al’ Seckel’s presentation visually shifts you!

Take a look at this presentation …

Al Seckel: Your brain is badly wired — enjoy it!

For myself, this past year I took a fresh look at how ‘general’ I’ve been in speaking about my business and the results I create for my clients. I’ve given myself the challenge of shifting my own self-perceptions, and my thinking and language. I’m playing (truly, playing) with my ideas about identity, communication, branding, programs, services.

Change 1 FRUSTRAION And You Can Change It All!

When our clients get frustrated with technology they have few options. Like the rest of us, we may curse our email or voice mail or PDAs or computers, but we’re generally stuck with them.

That’s not the reality when it comes to ’solution’ providers. Aggravate a prospective client and they won’t bother to return your calls when it’s time to sign the contract. Make it complicated for a client to work with you, and they’ll decide that next phase of work “isn’t that important right now.”

So take a frank look at the way you have complicated either your communications with your client or the work itself. Ask yourself:

“What activities am I using that could be simplified?”

Right them all down. Then prioritize them from “simplest to fix” to “most complicated to redesign”.

Once you’ve completed your list, create an action plan to solve the activity at the top of your list this very week. Your clients will love you for it!

Let me know the results you create!
