5 keys



Here are 5 keys that could unlock and release the energy to help you innovate and evolve in life and work.
Create, Communicate, Connect, Challenge and Change.





CREATE – Who you want to be in 4 fully integrated dimensions.

1. Body - Ask yourself whether you are as physically fit as you could be, then take action.
(Most human beings are predominantly visual and often judge a book by it’s cover so think about how you would like to appear in terms of what you wear and how you move in the world).
2. Heart- Take some time to explore your level of emotional intelligence. Daniel Goldman's thoughts and theories will help with this.
3. Mind- Assess wether you have enough information and knowledge for what you want and need to achieve in life and work.
4. Spirit- Define your personal beliefs, drives and motivators. The book by Lawrence and Nohria called 'Driven: How human nature shapes our choices' is a good place to start.

COMMUNICATE – Your V.I.B.E clearly (your values, ideas, beliefs and experiences) - let people know who you are.
Take some time to develop your communication skills.
Learn how to structure ‘story’ to help you talk about who and what you are succinctly and with impact. Stephen Denning's book on story telling for leadership has some interesting ideas.
Understand how your behaviour can help to convey the deeper meaning in everything you do and say.

CONNECT- With the 4 perspectives of human being.
How you feel and think is directly influenced and affected by your physical condition, the environment in which you live and work and the people that you share your time with. Making the connection between these perspectives helps to create a balanced experience. Reach out to others and start conversations about things that interest you through social and professional networks.


CHALLENGE – The currenty reality.
When you hear phrases like:
“But we always do things this way”
“If it ain’t broke don”t fix it”
“It’s just change for change sake.”
“Better the devil you know.”

Try asking “What if……?” “ If we could…….?” or “ Why not?”

CHANGE – One small thing each day to experience a new way of being.
