| I recently reviewed some notes I took while attending a lecture by the man who holds the world record for the longest cross country ight in a hang glider. He ew 438 miles without a motor. Relying on his instincts to nd rising air, thermals moncler outlet or lift to rise up in altitude and then glide to the next patch of rising air. Mike Barber imparted lessons designed to teach performance to hang glider pilots, to help them become great cross country and competition pilots. The notes on technical skills looked all together different this time around. They looked instead like metaphors intended to impart life lessons. Three rules stood out. First, is to look for lift. In hang gliding, youre either in lift (warm air going up) or sink (cold air going down fast). Second, to try to center the lift or maximize your efciency in going up. Third, decide weather to stay or to go. This was the most difcult of the three steps because it involved learning, not only awareness, observation and coordinating physical movements, it required emotional intelligence as well.
Step one:When it comes to nding lift, Mike explains, 90% of the sky is sink, 10% is lift, a disappointing reality. He goes on to say,and of that 10%, half of it is crap. Mike went on to challenge his students. You have two options.. you can nd the one (thermal) that will get you up, or you can warful around in the crap. How often have you missed a new business opportunity because you were afraid to let go of a failing business deal. What was previously a worthwhile stream of revenue has become a drain on you or your companys resources. Financial advisors know that people are more likely to hold on to declining stocks well past the time when they should. This phenomenon is made worse when the stocks were picked by the individual themselves because people have a natural tendency to become emotionally attached to the reasoning they used to select the stocks in the rst place. When you look hollister back on the decisions youve made in the past two to four years, how often have you www.getconversational.com discovered the lift? The things that bring you success in business, the relationships where synergy best describes the dynamic. The things you do that restore you, spiritually and psychologically, that is the lift. What were the best decisions you have made? What actions did your organization make that were protable? What relationships are marked by synergy and reciprocity? Step two:Centering the lift. Once you discovered the opportunity, how did you handle it? Did you give it your best? If it was a www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php personal relationship, did you reciprocate louboutin pas cher with unconditional love, division of labor, attention and patients? Were you efcient in maximizing your lift? With the www.achbanker.com/home.php top three decisions you made, what steps did you take that helped you maximize your prot? In hind sight, what decisions or actions took away from efciency? What will you do differently to hollister france increase your chances of staying in the lift? Step three:Do I stay or do I go? You may have already asked yourself, how can emotional intelligence be part of hang gliding, much less making business decisions? As creatures, we are motivated more by the threat of loosing something than we are by the prospect of gaining something new. Mike tells his students to constantly be on the move. He explains that many students hollister france will say, I lost the lift. He then points out that this language implies that the thermal was there and you did something to fall out of it. Given the reality that a thermal lasts only hollister sale 7-8 minutes chances are you didnt loose it, it simply ran its course. When pilots dont keep this in mind they become attached to the notion that lift still exists in a given spot they just have to nd it again. Instead, what they should be doing is moving on to nd new lift. I have heard countless stories from individuals who have found a dream job and years later, despite the fact that the company has been sold and has an entirely new vision or the administration is made up of entirely new professionals, they hang on to what they originally loved about the organization. They dont read the writing on the wall, they refuse to accept the reality of change and they are somehow surprised when they are notied that they have been laid off. Why does this happen? It requires risk, it requires that an individual leaves their comfort zone and searches for something new, something that will lift them up. I have heard just as many stories from individuals who recognize that they are in a romantic relationship that is draining and even abusive, yet they somehow go on to make the decision to get married to the person or have a child with them. Some fear being alone, some fear they will never nd love again and all of them are attached to the idea that it was once a positive experience. Like the novice cross country pilot looking for lift that has run its course. The thermal has dissipated yet they continue to search loosing valuable altitude in the process. They tell themselves, It must be my inability to nd it, because the illusion of control is more comforting, they overlook the fact that perhaps the lift, the love is not there. They choose to delude themselves rather than accept reality, the pain associated with the loss and the misfortune. Can you think of a time when you took a risk and left your comfort zone? What happened? Did you nd something that improved your life? What kind of impact did it have on your life? Was it successful? If you could do it over again, what would you do differently? Have you ever done this in business? Have you stayed with a source of revenue that has become out dated or over utilized. One business that warfuled around in the crap for too long. A printing company that was successful for 20 years refused to see the writing on the wall. When digital equipment began being used by competitors, this company refused to acknowledge the new technology as viable. They eschewed the technology despite its increasing use by competitors. Weve been successful for 20years, our equipment is paid for, why should we change what were doing? Today they have to charge more than most competitors just to break even on an order of business cards. They have several loyal customers but over the past two years they have decreased production and staff by signicant margins. One sales person who was laid off began working for herself. She would design the card, provide her clients with samples to choose from and order the cards for her clients from a number of on-line companies. She was able to provide her clients with better quality cards, offer them more choices and she was able to get the cards to her clients within a day or so. She became a competitor to her former employer who choose to warful around in the crap. Even as the company began down sizing, they remained attached to the barbour jacket business strategies that worked in the past but were no longer effective. When a hang glider pilot enters sink, their ight instrument makes a loud droning noise to indicate they are loosing altitude rapidly. Pilots ying with out instruments will feel that they are dropping. The sensation is as if their stomach is rising and the rest of their body is sinking. The amazing thing is that the same two things happen, weather you are a hang glider pilot or you are in a failing business or an unhealthy relationship. The loud droning in your ears, the sinking feeling, those are signs that you are in sink and you have a decision to make. I knew that Mike Barber was going to teach me a great hollister france deal about hang gliding but I didnt realize how well the lessons would translate to real life. Only ten percent of the sky of life is actually lift and of that ten percent, half of it peuterey prezzi is crap. So look for the right opportunities, the relationships that are symbiotic, the business opportunities that are protable. When you nd them, do everything you can to make the most of them. Give love unconditionally, give your best to your clients, your employers and your employees. When you feel that sinking feeling and everything tells you its not working, stop warfuling around in the crap. Instead, take a risk, leave your comfort zone and search for something with the capacity to grow, to build and to lift you to cloud base. 相关的主题文章: outlet moncler En Syrie, on hollister france How Can You peuterey prezzi Places you mi |
