THINK FEEL DO OR FAIL YOU MUST CHOOSE

“How many times have you  experienced the internal conflict of desiring a new goal, possession, accomplishment and simultaneously reeling with the emotions of unworthiness. The disappointment of previous failure, the agony of all the hard work with no great payoff, those are the emotions anchored to our pursuit of happiness. How it felt to fail is the scent in the room when the candle flame is lit igniting the glow of new hope. ‘What do you want?’ ignites fear and trepidation rather than motivation and excitement. To succeed, we must learn to feel, experience and harness the anticipation of a toddler at Christmas when plan and execute our vision of the future .” J Loren Norris

ARGUMENTS WITH FOOLS DESTROY THE WISE

“When the source of your argument is also the source of your data you are arguing with a fool. The exposure risk you face in the storm of the argument is for the world to see your see source and know its not you. Many people find themselves presenting ideas, notions, philosophies, and even solutions which are extracted from a data source which does not require experience to proclaim such data as truth. Proof text and wisdom should not be confused.” J Loren Norris

THE MESSENGER AND THE MESSAGE MUST BE CONSISTENT

“Inconsistency is hard to follow. When leaders portray a message they do not live up to, the incongruity speaks louder than their most amplified words. Expectations, standards, KPI’s are all expectations leaders might impose on their team yet not hold themselves accountable to. From marketing and branding messages to internal communications and customer reviews. Any place the character of the leadership team match the message, influence is minimized and trust is lost. The messenger and the message must be consistent.” J Loren Norris

GREAT COMMUNICATION REQUIRES HARD WORK IN THE SILENCE

“When a deep thinker is thinking outloud while chatting with a simplistic conversationalist, the ensuing banter is what I call the ‘frustrated fence post effect’. Someone else said, ‘Never argue with a pig - it only frustrates you and annoys the pig.’ No one wins. To be a great communicator - THINK DEEP SILENTLY then speak simply with deep solutions.” J Loren Norris

 LIFE IS LIKE A MEME OF PREDICTIVE BEHAVIOR

“You have likely seen the cat trying to knock things off the counter until the owner uses a stuffed cat teach the kitty a tough lesson. The owner predicts the intention and behavior of the cat, then forewarns the cat of the consequences of such behavior. I challenge you to ask yourself how many events, in the media, in social media, in relationships have provided an advance warning for behavior you have not yet embarked upon. Hundreds of people visited, toured and took selfies at a national monument because the weather cancelled outside activities. Several hundred people visited the same spot a few years back and have not seen their families or freedom since then. Don’t be a stuffed kitty. Be an obedient cat.” J Loren Norris
