In the upcoming episode with Garry Turner on the Healthy Masculinity podcast, we talk about how horses sense your emotional state.
What is unsaid in the video is that the simple act of listening with the intention to understand changes how people feel. Nick Zeniuk, former Ford executive and my mentor in 2007-8-9 understood the sensitivity of horses and how they express themselves. It is particularly valuable when moving through times when it seems easier to rely on mental will over sensing your environment.
Moving through uncertainty with confidence draws on universal principles and meta skills of consciousness.
Four universal principles from cultural anthropology have guided my facilitation and leadership self-work…
* Pay attention to what has heart and meaning.
* Show up and be present.
* Tell the truth without judgment.
* Be open to outcome, not attached to it.
Thanks for reading Navigating Uncertainty: Visionary Resilience! This post is public so feel free to share it.
These four principles look innocently simple until you put them into practice and observe yourself in action. Even listening comes in categories: connected listening, active listening, and empathic listening, for example.
Intention guides focus in my experience.
With the surge in layoffs, companies deferring to AI instead of engaging their people, self-knowledge will fuel resilience and visionary leadership. These principles help, along with awareness of your inner and outer emotional world.
Will post the interview when it is released.
