"A reminder regarding defensiveness"

(58 seconds)

If you recognize defensiveness in someone, then their subconscious (or conscious) mind is telling you that they feel as if they’re being attacked or will be attacked.

This is a Level 5 reminder regarding defensiveness.

The more defensive that someone is, the less they’re able to focus on listening.

Remember to recognize defensiveness.

Inevitability.

Some secrets keep us alive.

Others eat us from the inside out.

Either way, we the people really like to hold on to our shit.

That’s what makes each of us, on occasion, a real asshole.

This is a Level 5 reminder regarding earbuds.

Earbuds are plugging your ears.

Level 5

Regretting means that you want to change the past.

Remembering means that you intend to change the future.

Be not afraid to remember.

(1 minute, 33 seconds)

Ownership can be a legal term, specifying whom officially owns a business, property, etc.

Ownership is also a state of mind, a perspective from which one can approach their professional responsibilities to maximize the potential of both the business and the individual.

Einstein said "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."

An employee that approaches each day with an ownership mindset is going to be of more value to an organization than an employee that does not.

Be an owner.
