Hi there friends! Boy these times we are living in. Whew. How are you feeling? Helpless? Hopeful? Hopeless? In trust? Out of control? Afraid? Angry?
I’m cycling through that too. I am horrified by what is happening in our country.
But I don’t want to be stuck in inaction.
I have a tool that can help us shift into empowerment.
I provide monthly mentorship for the coaches at Goodwill. We’ve been doing a series on fear - how it gets in the way of taking action and making change. How to identify it and how to work with it.
This week I was teaching the “Levels of Accountability” as a framework for shifting into action. As I was explaining it, one of the coaches said “this is a perfect illustration of where it seems most people are in our country right now - on both sides - defensive, closed, in a state of fear, blaming others, committed to being right.” They are below the line of accountability.
This is a model for choosing a way forward, for finding solutions, and living in trust.
Listen. The fear will also be there. But if we choose to shift above the line, we will also have access to solutions for navigating.
So here’s the tool. And I made a video for you that walks you through it! Here’s the link to that.
If you’d like help using this tool to get yourself back into a state of trust and empowerment, I’d love to help you with it. You can schedule a coaching session here.
