Dear Difference Maker,

Got Kids? It May Be The Most Important Movie You Will Ever Watch! 

Been having power struggles over teaching and parenting styles?  This clears it up!  This movie is the Cliff Notes to the Make A Difference with the Power of Connection book.

This is a movie that must be seen by all.  We’ve been making this all too hard. 

Watch today’s thought-provoking movie that shows exactly how anyone can positively transform any intense situation in less than 30 seconds or less, by Energetically Connecting with Compassionate Attention.

Kelly Harris, a PTA Parent said it best …  

“I just watched your movie.  Wow!  I had so many light bulb moments as I was watching it. I am a 45-year-old mom of two girls. My oldest daughter is 16, and I can see where I have not been connecting with her, and can hardly wait for her to come home from her band camp to start connecting. My baby is just 18 months old, and I can see where I have already started the same sad way of reacting to things. But now I am certain I can change that too. It would be my wish that my school’s Administration would provide your book, for every single person on the faculty and staff. Thank You!”

Check Your Mirror!

MIRRORING IS PROBABLY THE oldest known self-correcting strategy known to man. It coincides with NO. 25, Teach people how to treat you, and goes even deeper into what it is we are projecting.

Children are a perfect example of this. Whether you are their parent or classroom teacher, children can reflect different aspects of your personality back to you. Sometimes we don’t like what we see. At these moments it can be to our benefit to be as honest as we can about what we are projecting in this relationship.

Mirroring does not mean that I am exactly like someone else. It is only an indicator of something past or present. It may show me a personal characteristic I am uncomfortable with and choose not to be a component of my nature. Those closest to us can reflect our innermost attitudes and beliefs.

It is my responsibility to determine if I like what I see. If I don’t, then it is up to me to seek ways to change that which I no longer desire to have as an aspect of my character.

What we are looking for
is that which is looking.
-ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI

Keep It Simple & Straightforward

One more story …

As you may remember, I’ve mentioned this week that I got to give my GREATNESS EXERCISE and do our “I Make A Difference” wristband acknowledgment exchange with my son’s football team, where he’s the head coach. It’s his first year with this bunch, and the game plan he and his coaching staff came up with is all about one thing: Culture Wins.

I’ve also mentioned that I’ve done this exercise with over 20,000 people in a two year period so I thought I’d seen it all!

But here’s the thing that happened with my son’s football team that had never happened before that brings tears to my eyes, even as I write this.

In Step 4 when I called up two volunteers to demonstrate how to introduce themselves by their greatness neither young man had yet come up with three adjectives to describe what was great about themselves – to then introduce themselves by.

I looked out to the group of bright, eager, strapping high school football players and they were on the edge of their chairs.

With a little nod of permission by me, they started yelling out what was great about each of the two players.

I then had each player repeat back – out loud – what their greatness’s were. By the time the team got through with them there were 8-10 for each player!

The caring engagement between the team and the two guys up front with me was off the charts as each player started to own their greatness.

Goosebumps!

Then, after everyone introduced themselves by their greatness and we had the wristband exchange we moved on to creating their team’s Difference Maker’s Creed.

Difference Maker’s Creed
Own it. Go forward. Begin again.

PS … I love you and appreciate you. Thank you for following me and for the difference I know you are making in the world.  Be well.  Be happy.  Be spirit lit and soul fulfilled!

PPS … ONLY 5 More Days before I can tell you what I’ve been working on!  Stay tuned. Keep watching!

TGIF!

Before I head out for the weekend, I wanted to share with you how the Difference Maker Creed was born.

It came out of a need to figure out what to do about an unproductive amount of anxiety I was having about a fear of making humiliating mistakes – years ago.

In the midst of worrying way too much one day, I had a talk with myself …

What I said to myself was advise I would have given anyone else:

Mistakes are human. They just are.

So I asked myself, “What can I do differently (other than ruminate for days beating myself up over and over) when I make a mistake?”

“What can I do differently where I don’t have to relive the traumatizing shame and humiliation I suffered as a child and have inadvertently carried forward into my adult life?”

Of course I already knew that greatness was never about perfection, but about what a person does in the face of doing something that is a mistake.  Something that may have caused harm to someone, inadvertently or directly.

But knowing this had never released me from an onslaught of anxiety with every little infraction.

Then on that day, I mentally decided these 5 things about what I can do instead.  I was free to be me from that moment on.  And yes, they work!

I think the biggest problem we cause for ourselves when we make mistakes is deflecting, blaming or JREDDing (Justify, Rationalize, Explain, Defend & Debate).

Not one of these default adulting tactics works to feel good about yourself.  This is what I know for certain:  People that feel better, do better.  And you can quote me!

Difference Maker Creed
Own it. Go forward.  Begin again.

PS … I love you and appreciate you. Thank you for the difference I know you are making in the world.  Be well.  Be happy.  Be spirit lit and soul fulfilled!

PPS … ONLY 5 More Days before I can tell you what I’ve been working on!  Keep watching!

Hey there Difference Maker!

Picture this:  I’m standing in front of a group of folks who couldn’t care less about who I am or why they should bother paying attention. They’re probably wishing they were anywhere else but here.

But guess what? I’m not fazed one bit!

See, I’ve been in this situation countless times, and I’ve got a little trick up my sleeve that always works like a charm. It’s an activity I created for unifying and synergizing groups of people that I like to call the GREATNESS EXERCISE, and believe me, it’s a game-changer.

Now, let me take you back to when I first started speaking for National Seminars Group. They had me tackling their full-day Seminar on Powerful Communication Skills for Women, speaking to a different group in a different city every single day, Monday through Friday, from 9 to 5.

Yep, it was quite the challenge to keep those tired eyes engaged and uplifted, even on a Friday afternoon. But I did it, and guess what? I did it with gusto!

Over a span of two years, I had the privilege of speaking to over 20,000 people. That’s right, 20,000! So when I say this exercise has been tried and tested, you better believe it.
