    Great breakdown of how EQ can help you stay productive and creative for days, months, years, and decades.

    With 40 studio albums over 60+ years, including one released just last year, Bob Dylan stands as one of the most vital and creative artists into old age. He has serious endurance. Below I’ve written up 3 EQ takeaways from Dylan’s approach to making music. Use these to grow your endurance: ___ 1/ Know your purpose (or “destiny”), and hold it tight. Dylan talks extensively about his destiny. He even goes as far as to say “he bargained with the chief commander,” trading his devotion to music for success. “[Destiny] is a feeling you have that you know something about yourself no one else does,” Dylan explains. “It’s a fragile feeling. You put it out there, and someone will kill it. You have to keep it to yourself.” Even if you don't view your purpose as destiny or a spiritual bargain, the idea still translates: Know your purpose. Revisit it often. Your purpose creates lasting energy. ___ 2/ Curiosity fuels decades of endurance. Author Brad Listi described Dylan’s creative endurance, saying, “You can point to a number of artists who fit this bill…They never stop staying interested. They’re always taking in new stuff.” You can see this in Dylan’s work as he jumps from an album of 30 Sinatra-like covers to an album of newly written songs. He follows what interests him, not what interests you. ___ 3/ Curiosity also fuels shorter-term endurance. One study found that just by describing a day when you felt curious, you can boost your mental and physical energy by 20% more than when you describe a moment of profound happiness. Writer De-Shawn Charles Winslow experienced this first-hand. He was stuck, trying to finish his book. His deadline was around the corner. But he felt like his book was boring. His characters were boring. He’d been watching old law & order shows, and he had a funky idea. What if he blended his novel with a murder mystery? He tried it out, and the book flowed out of him. His debut novel “In West Mills” went on to win the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize winner, an American Book Award, and a Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction. It was his curiosity that propelled him through that fallow, boring period in his writing. ___ Not all success is instantaneous. Developing the endurance to stay energized for months, years, and decades can help you stick it out. And more importantly, endurance feels good. Just look at Bob Dylan’s face when he talks about it… ___ P.S.

    3 great strategies for RECEIVING feedback.

    View profile for Evan Watkins, graphic

    Receiving feedback lights up the same part of your brain as skinning your knee. That means even the most necessary and true feedback feels like physical pain at first. It quite literally stings. From getting mass-feedback in writing workshops during my grad studies (I once realized ten minutes into a workshop that I was going to stop working on my novel that I was 80 pages into), here are 3 simple strategies I picked up to work more effectively with my pain response. 1/ Stay mostly quiet as you receive feedback. It’s easy to get defensive or over-explain your intentions. Get out of the way so you can get as much honest feedback as possible. 2/ Ask your own questions once you’ve heard them out. Come in prepared with specific questions you want answered to improve your work. 3/ Walk/talk/eat/sleep on it. Whatever you do, just give yourself time. As time passes, feedback stings less. Then you can actually learn from it. ___ By the way, keep this in mind when you GIVE feedback too. No matter how much kindness you deliver feedback with, it’s going to sting. So be sure to take that into account as you plan your approach ___ Sources: 1/ "Skinning your knee" Naomi Eisenberger and Matthew Leiberman "Why Rejection Hurts" #emotionalintelligence

    The Outdated 70-20-10 Model vs. The Modern 3-to-1 Model The Outdated 70-20-10: 70% of knowledge on-the-job, 20% from peers, and 10% formal learning - doesn’t get put to practice in program design or delivery - doesn’t get put to practice with time or budget - doesn’t “naturally” get put to practice by participants In other words: 70-20-10 is great on paper but doesn’t get put to practice. The Modern 3-to-1 Model: 3 application exercises for each formal learning - simple to apply to existing training programs - simple to apply from a time/budget framework (ideally, you invest an equal amount of time and money into EACH application exercise as to the initial learning) - drives participants to practice and directs their attention to the importance of application By putting a number to the design and delivery, it becomes more grounded and achievable. The 3-to-1 model puts the focus on HABITS, not LEARNING. It reimagines our role, not as instructional designers, but as behavioral designers. #leadershipdevelopment P.S.

    5 Research-Backed EQ Strategies

    View profile for Evan Watkins, graphic

    EQ strategies, stories, & research | Author of Emotional Intelligence: 52 Strategies

    As I helped build out our EQ training curriculum at LEADx, I read through a lot of studies, research, and scholarly articles. Here are 5 findings that I thought were fascinating (and 5 resulting EQ strategies): 1/ Adopting a mindset of curiosity can boost your energy by 20%. Strategy: Practice reframing your thinking as "curious." 2/ We cast our emotions out to the people around us like Wifi (and leaders’ emotions have an especially strong signal). Strategy: Notice when you’re picking up (or casting) unwanted signals. 3/ When a video played of shapes moving across a screen, 33 out of 34 people spun emotion-centered stories about the shapes. Strategy: Learn to recognize when you’re telling stories and be cautious of the stories you tell (about yourself & others). 4/ 95% of people can’t differentiate between “anger” and “disappointment.” Strategy: Get razor-sharp at emotion labeling. 5/ Constructive anger can increase focus, persistence, and action-taking. Strategy: Practice channeling your anger with positive intent. ___ P.S.
