Our mind is capable of some incredible things.  Unfortunately our ego limits us to what we know. It takes courage to step outside of that familiar “knowing”, and move into space that might challenge our belief systems. Perhaps even the belief system that that our parents gave us, or we were raised with.

When I am coaching a person, team, or business, I keep in mind the unseen beliefs. I suggest the same for you.  When you are managing another person, or working right alongside of them, if you want peace and harmony in the workplace you might want to consider the fact that your beliefs might not match up with theirs and assuming they are, is a recipe for disaster.

Feel like I shortchanged you?  Sorry. I did NOT short change you. Books are still being written about it.  Hundreds of songs refer to it.  The greatest iconic Leaders of ALL time modeled it.  The most beautiful Monasteries principles were built on it.  And parents preach it.

No! I didn’t short change you.  I simplified it for you. You want more engaging conversation, fulfilling life, love, power, or any of those things listed previously? Then listen. Listen to the person across from you.  “Be” with them now.  In this present time. Slow down your breathing and be with them.
