In my current 12-Week Series, I’ve dared the participants to do something that is exciting yet a little scary.
The point of this is not to just dare them. In my Courageous Leadership Coaching and Consulting Platform, daring is a strategy to change how our brain fires, to break through limiting beliefs and decondition the body from the past.
Daring encourages us to explore possibilities that we might not otherwise entertain and I believe, in order to take up a dare, you must be courageous. And as you know, courage helps us be daring in the face of many opportunities and circumstances that life inevitably throws our way.
As leaders, whether that be as a parent, small business owner or executive, we often have to dare to lead others in a way that inspires them to give their best. Not such an easy task when we’re stressed out and under deadlines.
One of the tools shared during week seven of the series was centered around our ability as leaders to maintain a higher state of consciousness/awareness in order to solve for conflict, in order to help others transition.
When I looked up the word transition on google, here’s what it said: movement, passage, or change from one position, state, stage, subject, concept, etc., to another; change.
Transition relies heavily on our ability to manage /change our own internal state; which requires regulating our chemistry.
Regulating our chemistry requires awareness because many of us our simply addicted to our emotions and therefore, have little power over our experience. Instead, our chemistry holds the power over us and we literally re-act the past in that moment.
When we slow down and become aware, we can often sense when we’re about to transition.
We might begin feeling uncertain. Because transition requires change and because change is often viewed as scary, we can at times, resist it.
In my experience and in working with clients, resistance is simply a part of the transition process and when we know how to work with resistance, we transition more seamlessly.
When we have a powerful process, transition simply becomes your next new dare that leads us to where we’ve been longing to go.
