My first international trip is certainly a SigEx so far. Never in my wildest dreams did I see SigEx going international when I started my own gig 6 months ago. (8:20 Minute flight if you were wondering)

"Hope" & Persistence" defined clearly by Sean Swarner a 2 time cancer survivor from Willard, Ohio. First Cancer Survivor to climb Mt. Everest in 2002 and then went on to climb the 7 summits of the world. BTW, with 1 functional lung...If you need a little extra Hope in your life, watch this oldie but goodie. A special shout out to Mark from our most recent 3 day executive leadership training who sent this video to me. Another close friend of SigEx who is kicking Cancers butt says it like this...."I would never say that cancer is a gift but I will say that it has brought me gifts beyond my wildest imagination to my life." .

This ESPN Outside the Lines segment features Sean Swarner, the first cancer survivor to summit Mt. Everest. Sean followed up this incredible feat by reaching...

Parenting Hack: This is too good! Thanks Gerry Campbell for your deep insight! Holy crap I’ve cracked the code to parenting teenagers.”
Dad’s rules of the house:
1. Don’t do stupid s**t
2. Do responsible s**t
3. Dont sit on your ass until the responsible s**t is done
4. Have fun, especially after the responsible s**t is done
5. If you are unclear about what s**t is stupid, what is responsible, and what is ass-sitting, ask me or your mom
6. If you get it wrong we will “help” you figure it out
The goal is for you to spend your life perfecting #2 & #4.

Disruptor #11 To give is to get!

Sunday morning question of the day:
Are you actively participating in charity? Giving back has a crazy zen like way of giving you the one who is doing the work far more than the little charitable acts that we do.

In this "Selfy" generation, give to yourself by giving acts of kindness away to those who need it. Remember the Law of Reciprocity...? (See Disruptor #4 to refresh your memory) . I took a half day on Monday to go visit a variety of homeless camps and boy was it rewarding and enjoyable.

If you lead a group or have an interest in asking the question of What can I do to help...? just place a comment on this post. BTW, one of my new found friends uses the propane tank to heat his tent. It's easy to help!

Disruptor #10 LIFE HACK: SigEx Definition of Authentic Success - "Having the innate ability to make emotional contact with self & others." Grab your favorite cup o joe or drip & enjoy this Saturday morning LIFE HACK session where you can take these new insights and put them into action!

SigEx Lore: The arrows in our SigEx logo symbolize the individual's positive and negative life experiences. When placed together, it gives us our own unique fingerprint. Making emotional contact with ourselves & others is the greatest gift that we humans have...
+Remember Jodie Foster in the movie Contact when she first makes contact while sitting in a field of satellite dishes? WOW! .

At SigEx we focus on resistances that prevent us from making emotional contact and learn to de-sensitize their negative impact in our daily lives. Trust me, this warm and fuzzy stuff impacts your leadership abilities as well your top and bottom line revenues:)

#1 . Projection: Create feelings of irritation, resentment, hostility and distrust. Takes place when a person is confronted with something about themselves that they cannot accept. Rather than struggling with this issue, they take what they need to engage and project it outward, away from themselves onto other. Pick a common projection that you send out and frame it conceptually. Digging deeper will help you turn this insight into action.
+What are your projections really trying to say at the very core?

#2 . Introjection Faulty beliefs that one has about themselves which is often taught to them from another. Even tougher are these self taught/swallowed-whole faulty beliefs that you have fully assimilated from within.
+What faulty beliefs are you still holding on to that are negatively impacting your life?

#3 . Retroflection: A change of energy. Blinking, breathing from your chest, storing stress in your shoulders. Person will shut down, hold back, tighten up & back away in order to avoid contact with what is being presented.

#4 . Confluence: Agreeing not to disagree “uh-huh-ing or yes-ing." Blurs the boundary between the self & the other so that the self does not feel separate & does not remain separate. Often times can lead to co-dependence or dismissal of self.

#5 . Deflection: Involves moving away from the specific contact point. (i.e. Changing the Subject completely or moving from the emotions to the head/thoughts)
Keeps you from saying what you need to say
Moves into a discussion that has nothing to do with what the person was trying to accomplish. Repositions whatever was difficult or scary and now is completely neutralized

Disruptor #9 Leadership & Self Deception by the Arbinger Institute is a wonderful book to start your company/mastermind group off with because it is a valuable lesson for all of us both personally and professionally. Each chapter has an assessment for your teams to discuss each week. Easy to read fable style interview with deep meaning and purpose.

“Self-deception ...blinds us to the true cause of problems, and once blind, all the ‘solutions’ we can think of will actually make matters worse. That’s why self- deception is so central to leadership – because leadership is about making matters better.”
