Nathan Simmonds:

Good afternoon everybody. Again, just a minute early. We're just waiting for the last participants, the last delegates to arrive into the session. Just gonna give everyone a moment to arrive. So make sure again, as always, setting you up for success before we even get started. So make sure we got drinks ready. You've got water, herbal teas, whatever. You've got hydration available. You've got a fresh page in your book, ready to be filled with kind of ideas, concepts that we're sharing today.

Nathan Simmonds:

And as you're setting that page up, title of that page is gonna be keepers. So the aim is to get as many things down from this session that you want to remember, that you want to go back to, so that when you read your notes, that thought comes up and a new thought is formed because of it. So it continues to keep that learning moving. Keeps the learning sticky, which is what we do here at MBL. 30 more seconds.

Nathan Simmonds:

And thirdly, mobile phones gonna put mine on flight mode. 'cause that would be really embarrassing as your trainer today to have my phone going off midway through this. Let's make sure you've zeroed out your distractions. Shut down your mobile phone, get it on flight mode. Close your email so you are not attempting to work while you are listening to it, because maybe you think you can multitask.

Don't forget the grow coaching model

 

Nathan Simmonds:

And it is scientifically proven that you cannot, it's basically your brain flicking between one thing very quickly and you cannot do that. So let's remove the distractions down. Let's get the full focus on you right now, making the investment of your time into your learning in this space.

Nathan Simmonds:

A few more seconds coming in, a few more people, and then we are gonna get cracking. First question from me for all of you there, how is everyone today? How are you feeling? Where are we now? Fourth week or fifth week of, of isolation, of physical distancing for people? How are we feeling in the process at the moment? Do you know what? And I also wanna say Friday, tomorrow.

Nathan Simmonds:

I also wanna say I really appreciate, I'm looking at the list of attendees and people that shown up. I really appreciate the, the regular people, the regular attendees coming in today. And your attention and your engagement is, thank you very much. And I really appreciate the new people coming into this to come and experience this for the first time as well. Phenomenal, super happy with this.

Nathan Simmonds:

Okay, but sometimes feel a bit lost. I am with you because today I was convinced it was Friday. Definitely isn't really confused. Every now and again. My brain seems to go somewhere else. And do you know what? I think this is totally normal for the situation that we're in. Not only are we in a, a situation which we've never been in before, we're also in this situation and it's a crisis.

Nathan Simmonds:

So every and occasionally your brain wants to rewire and do something because it's not sure if you are in survival mode, you are in, um, you know, in a positive place. Sometimes your brain is still trying to catch up. Maybe you've done one too many Zoom calls, one too many conference calls and it's causing the brain to, to just need a rest. You know, it could be, there's confusion with that. There's some other reasons it's happening, right?

Nathan Simmonds:

We are all here. Let's go for this. Pens, papers. Ready drinks, zero distractions. Welcome everybody to today's Sticky learning Lunches with me.
