Last week we named two wings on the EDG Butterfly Map.The Ideation Wing in episode 184 — curiosity, possibility, the pull toward what could be. The Structure Wing in episode 185 — follow-through, systems, making things real.

And in episode 186, we talked about wing dominance — the natural lean of your genius, the wing that tends to do more of the flying.

Today I want to talk about what happens when one wing does all of the flying. What it costs us.

Michele Jennae is the Creator of the EDG Map, founder of EDGx365, and your host on the Every Day Genius Podcast.

She helps people stop managing their genius and start flying from the tension that makes them remarkable. There is genius in every building she has ever walked into. Not potential — actual, specific, irreplaceable genius.

Most of it goes unrecognized. Some of it gets managed into compliance. Too much of it quietly dims. She founded Every Day Genius (EDGx365) because she needed a way to help people see what was actually there, in the building, every one of them, and in you — and give it a name people could carry.

Today Lany talks about what a business (and a person) looks like in chaos versus what it looks like in flow. She says that it all comes down to capacity, the capacity to be doing the work. Without it, it's chaos. With it, flow is much easier.

Yesterday's conversation with Lany Sullivan about assumptions led into the subject of road rage, the perfect example of how negative assumptions escalate. Lany points out that there are lessons to be learned, not only about the dangers of road rage itself, but about how other situations in life mirror it. The way we respond has consequences.

In today's episode, Lany and I talk about assumptions, and our tendency to assume the negative. I start with a reframe with acronyms for both the positive and negative aspects of assuming. Lany then continues the conversation expressing the importance of a pause before reaction, maybe assuming that there is a good reason someone is behaving a certain way that has nothing to do with you.

One thing Lany Sullivan learned in coaching and in life has been taking 100% ownership for the choices she makes. That's not to say she is always in control of what happens to her, but she can take responsibility for how she responds.

In the last two episodes, we talked about Ideation and Structure being two seemingly disparate ideas, but that like wings on a butterfly, actually work in tandem. Not both at the same time, but one and then the other and then one and then the other in flow, as circumstances require.

Ideally, we begin to allow the other wing to take over when the first one starts flagging. This will be discussed in future episodes.

In this weekend's episodes, we are looking closer at what makes the EDG Butterfly Map so special by mapping two Genius qualities in you. Ideation and Structure. Tune in to see where you are leaning...

Yesterday we learned about the upside of Ideation - curiosity, brainstorming, and creativity, and its downside. Today we look at the other wing: Structure, and its upside and downside. They wings work better together because when they are operating in coordination, the downsides all but disappear.

Today: Ideation - curiosity, brainstorming, and creativity. But what happens when we stay here too long? This is a positive quality, but there is a downside!

My guest Lany Sullivan talks about how her coach helped her, held her hand, gave her clarity, but did not save her. Coaches don't save people. Lany expands on this by explaining how her choices brought their own consequences and that owning the responsibility for those choices actually empowered her.

Lany Sullivan continues the conversation with her decision to hire a coach. It wasn't an automatic decision but one she had considered for years. The timing was right when it seemed all wrong, financially speaking. Sometimes, you just have to go all in.
