S.H.I.N.E. Live an Illuminated

Spring into Action! Get a Growth Mindset

Odds are you've used the phrase, "the learning curve" when you've referred to an unexpected detour in your plan, your life, or business. Everyone on planet earth has experienced this.  

Even with best laid plans..

You find yourself having to do more than expected. 
You find yourself having to work harder.
You find yourself digging deep to understand the context, content, and character of the situation.
These are tell-tale signs that you are experiencing a learning curve. Learning curves build strength, stamina, intellect, and discipline. With the proper mindset, "enthusiasm" you can learn even more.

Answer these Powerful Questions:

What if I took on learning curves on purpose?
What if my life was a series of carefully calculated, courageous, and confidence building learning curves?
I think it would be a VIBRANT LIFE...one pulsating with energy... magnetic... and inspiring.

Instead of letting learning curves unfold, I suggest you take them on with zeal! In this episode, Nicole Greer, PPCC...that's me... will explain the learning curve. Have a pen and paper ready to draw out the diagram. Get ready to think through your own learning curve story and see how you could take what is probable and make it probable. 

Let's get started!

Take a Trip on the The Learning Curve

You've been given a gift of choice. You are empowered to decide in the vast majority of the opportunities that life presents.  The powerful question is:

How will you respond?

In this episode of The Vibrant Coach, Nicole Greer, PPCC invites you to be conscious... Alive... Awake and Aware of your choices.  It's time to wake up and SEE that we must have conscious use of our selves...aka...self-control.  Using the Decision Awareness Matrix, you can practice Self-Assessment, the "S" in the S.H.I.N.E. Coaching Methodology. 

Self-Assessment is a way of approaching life that leads to increased awareness of one's unique gifts and the capacity to influence others. Self-Assessment is a necessary competency for people in positions where they are leading, coaching, and empowering others to act. We act too often automatically, from habitual patterns thats may not be appropriate for the current situation. Conscious choice is a better choice when our actions will have important impact.

On today's episode, we'll explore our decisions and the four foundations from which they emanate. The four foundations are: 

Accountability: When we are aware that we are in control of our choices, we can be accountable for what we choose.

Automatic: When we are unaware of the choices we have made, we do it automatically by pattern or habit.

Blame: When we are aware of the choices, but give control of our choices to others, we blame them.

Socialization: When we are unaware of choosing and do something out of our being unaware, we are acting from our belief system and our socialization. We are coming from our socialization.

The Decision Quadrant: Make Up Your Mind

The Human Condition: Are You Needy? A Control Freak? A Narcissist?

The Art of Dialogue is not a cute title for this podcast. Talking, conversing, and communicating takes style, panache, and moxie. It's important to understand that creating a tete-a-tete of value requires serious skills. 

In today's rapid-fire environment, the individual who can slow the pace and create an exchange of information that opens up everyone's neural passageways is going to look like a genius. It's counter-cultural to insist on reflection, mindfulness, and feedback. AND... HELLO... LISTENING TO EACH OTHER!

But, that is exactly what you and your organization needs.

In this episode, I, Nicole Greer aka The Vibrant Coach, will share awesome information from Rob Friedman's article in the Harvard Business Review along with an explanation of the collabortive coaching tool, The Art of Dialogue. My aim is put a coaching tool in your tool box that will:

Glean the Genius in your Teams
Increase Trust
And Eradicate the Drama
Let's get started! Listen in...What are you waiting for? Write some notes. Call me for clarification or a coaching session for you one on one or with your team.

The Art of Dialogue: How to Talk to Each Other

What are you thinking?
This is a very good question. 

The more powerful question is: How are you thinking?  

Our thinking, our quality of thinking, creates our world. 

Just think about it. What runs through your mind runs your world.

Brain Booby Traps that Block your Success

A 2nd Installment in the How to Avoid the Brain Booby Traps Series

Join Nicole Greer, PPCC for the third installment in the Brain Booby Trap Series! This episode, "Move from Can't to Can" is a simple shift in mental models that invites you to move from the negative perspective into the positive. This simple shift requires two things:

Action 
Commitment
If you want your life to rocket to new heights, you'll need to create "escape velocity." Escape velocity is the speed necessary for  a space craft to escape the gravitational pull of the earth. The technical definition is:

the lowest velocity that a body must have in order to escape the gravitational attraction of a particular planet or other object.

Just like a scientist at NASA, you also need to formulate energy through action with great commitment to break free from the old gravitational pull in your life to a new gravitational pull. You'll need a solid, scientific, and strategic set of actions and commitment.

You can go from the place that are to the place you want to be.

Break the gravitational pull of can't do by engaging in what you can do. Let's get started!
