Episode 98 | The Daily Dose: Our Behavior Speaks Most Loudly Let's delve into a compelling concept today: understanding that behavior is a language, a tool we can use to gain insights into ourselves and others. By interpreting our actions and those of people around us, we can uncover deeper truths about intentions, priorities, and values. Behavior: The Unspoken Language Behavior often speaks louder than words. It's a reflection of what's going on inside us – our beliefs, fears, desires, and motivations. By observing behaviors, we can start to understand these internal drivers. Interpreting Our Behavioral Language Behavior Reflects Intentions: Your actions can reveal what you truly intend, sometimes more accurately than what you say. Priorities Shown Through Actions: How you spend your time and what you focus on in your actions directly illustrate your priorities. Values Manifested in Conduct: Your behavior is a mirror of your values, whether it’s through respect shown to others, the integrity of your work, or the kindness in your interactions. Using Behavior to Shape Self-Perception Self-Reflection Through Actions: Regularly ask yourself what your behavior says about your intentions, priorities, and values. Is there alignment or discrepancies? Behavioral Adjustment: If your actions don’t reflect your desired values or priorities, consider what changes can be made. It's never too late to realign your behavior with your goals. Understanding Others: Apply this understanding to others’ behaviors. It can enhance empathy and improve relationships. Today’s Challenge: Observe your behavior throughout the day. Ask yourself what it reveals about your priorities and values. If there’s a gap between your actions and your goals, identify one small step you can take to bridge it. Let’s Discuss: How has observing your own behavior helped you understand yourself better? Share an instance when you adjusted your actions to better align with your values. By understanding behavior as a language, we can become more self-aware and intentional in our actions and interactions. #BehavioralInsights #SelfAwareness #PersonalDevelopment #DailyDose

Have you ever asked yourself why our brains feel lit up like fireworks when engaged in difficult conversations? 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲! When conflict arises, there is an emotional hub that goes haywire with increased neurological firing and release of natural brain hormones, setting off our primal ‘drive to survive’ (or fight, flight, freeze, and fawn). While often known as the ‘𝗔𝗺𝘆𝗴𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗛𝗶𝗷𝗮𝗰𝗸,’ two other parts of the brain are key to the conflict hijack: the Limbic Cortex (𝙢𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣-𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜) and the Hippocampus (𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣-𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜).

Understanding the neuroscience gives us insight into our reactions and the reactions of others, enabling us to make choices about how we manage ourselves and how we influence others when facing tough talks. ➖ ➖ ➖ 𝗢𝗻 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟱𝘁𝗵, 𝗜'𝗺 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶'𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺. I plan to reveal the secrets on how to turn confrontations into constructive dialogues. Participants gain practical skills to effectively: 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲, 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼-𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀. Attendees gain invaluable communication strategies through real-time, real-life exercises and scenarios, supported by engaging storytelling. They'll leave equipped to engage in perspective-taking, confidently set boundaries, and redirect challenging confrontations to both-gain outcomes for resolving differences. Sound appealing?

I attended a webinar yesterday with our coach community. The guest speaker was Patricia Ryan Madson. Patricia is the author of Improv Wisdom: Don’t Prepare, Just Show Up, and a professor Emerita from Stanford University where she taught from 1977-2005. She summarized her message in 4 words: attention, acceptance, appreciation, and action. These 4 words encapsulate her work and her philosophy on applying improv wisdom to life. Attention: Pay attention to what you’re paying attention to. Notice what you notice. Develop self-awareness. Acceptance: Accept the reality. We lose every time we argue with reality. Appreciation: Understand the difference between gratitude and appreciation. Gratitude is the feeling when you experience a benefit. Appreciation is the ability to appreciate silent gifts that may not offer you immediate benefits. Action: Do what needs to be done. Don’t ask the question, “What do I feel like doing now?”. The right question is, “What needs to be done now?”
