1. A Road Map

Many of you may be traveling over the summer. You may
need to get a map from AAA or the internet, if you haven’t
visited your destination before. Or, if you’ve been there
before, the map may refresh your memory and show you
some new routes.

I was working with a client the other day. He was well
trained in a specific professional field and at one point
had quit a job in anger. Now, he is still swimming in this
anger, yet wants to get back to work.

This is a great place to be, isn’t it? Why?
Let’s look at the metaphor of the road map. It might be
tricky to get to Danville from Baltimore, if you’ve never
been there. First, you probably don’t even know in which
state to find Danville. It is likely that you would feel
disoriented and confused about what direction to go or to
take. Then you wonder where you will stay once you get
there? Is Danville in Vermont, Pennsylvania, California or
some other state? Is it a large city or a small berg? What
accommodations or facilities are available? It you don’t know
where you are going you will end us someplace else
In talking with my clients I realized this situation clearly
described his career challenges.

He had only a vague idea of where he wanted to go for his
next move. Should he head for “Danville” or someplace else?
He also knew he had to shift his attitude as this was putting
up many roadblocks and detours for him.

In his case, because he had been to Danville before he knew
lots of the routes and even some of the shortcuts. He also
knows many people in Danville. A phone call would set up
some lodging and a gathering of friends.

His first and greatest challenge is deciding when to go back.
I the time is now he will need to fill his gas tank, decide if he
wants someone to share his journey and find an up to date
map that identifies any changes or detours along the way.
How does this apply to where you are in your life?
If there is a destination you want to visit, you can begin
by mapping out the journey. What might be helpful is to
find someone who has been there before and talk with him
or her. They may be the perfect person to help you navigate
the driving. Many know this person by the name of mentor,
coach or guide.

If I can be of any help to you in navigating your journey,
let me know.
Safe travels.

2. Visiting an Old Friend

Poking around in an old, well-read and favorite book and
chuckling at the lines I starred or underlined is like visiting
an old friend and listening to her stories. You cherish her
friendship and with patience listen to the same rhyme and
verse over and over. Then one day you visit your friend
again. This time you “listen with a different ear” and discover
that her stories are parables, which apply to the challenges in
your life today.

This is how I experienced the stories from
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. The messages
have different meaning in the new context of my life,
and the lessons are just what I need right now.
I opened this classic in the middle, because I’m
working on setting up a Master Mind group.
Hill’s words of wisdom are giving me some viewpoints
different than when I first read it 25 years ago.

What book can you revisit and explore with new eyes?
Take a trip to your bookshelf and see what catches you eye.

Enjoy the read!

3. Communicating with Colors and Shapes

You can begin this multiple part series with the following
exercise. Each issue will feature different colors or shapes.
The worksheets can be found in a pdf format at the link below.
These exercises are part of an evolving book and workbook.
This unique series is the beginning of a journey exploring tools
and techniques used to create metaphorical images for
business and the business of daily living.

EXERCISE: Balance
1. When you think of balance what do you see?
Draw an image - shapes for balance.
Maybe it is a bar balanced on a fulcrum.

2. When you think of out–of-balance what do you see?
Draw an image – shape of “being off balance”.
A ball or weight place toward the end of the beam will make it tilt out of balance.

3. Once out of balance how would your image look as
you restored balance? Draw this image.
Using the image from above, to get back in balance the ball or weight has to move back to the center.

4. What would your image look like if it were more stable
or easier to stay in balance? Draw this image.
Using a pyramid, like the Great Pyramid, with a flat top
and placing the beam on the flat provides a much more stable foundation for maintaining balance.

5. How is your image shaping up? How is the composition?
Should you change the proportions?
With a bigger ball or weight the figure has better composition.
It is beginning to look like a stick figure drawing.

6. What metaphor describes balance in your life or business?
Teeter-totter? Tightrope walker? Bareback rider?
Scaling a mountain? Building a structure? Or …….?
How does it feel?

5. Independence Day

As the USA celebrates Independence Day, you might
find it a good day to explore what independence means
for you.

Is it a feeling or is it a quality of being? Notice these
qualities, the joy and happiness or is it freedom that reflects
independence for you. Can you tap into your inner voice and
hear what it has to say.

The dictionary defines independence as “not subject to”,
“not influenced by” or not dependent on”. How would you
express it?

May your independence be a day to celebrate too!
