Today, Eddie, as a dominant Influencer with 5 influencing strengths in his top 10, describes what he is doing to thrive in times like this. He first shares the importance of having measurable relationship goals in marriage. We explain how Influencers are passionate about helping people move forward. We offer advice for situations when chaos causes people to shut down, retreat into themselves, and halt in their progress. We suggest that you try to understand all of the different ways people move forward and help them get to where they want to go.

“That’s what influence is. That’s it. And so you can do that as a Relationship Builder, as an Executor, as a Strategic Thinker as well. So it really doesn’t matter what your strengths are. But, since you have 3 or more influencing strengths in your top 10, then this is a dominant desire for you. It’s how you get things done. It’s how you connect with people. It’s how you get creative and it’s how you move through the world; it’s how you create joy.” 10:00

Today, Eddie gives us an update on how his family is dealing with the pandemic, and tells you how you can access his resources to help you build a business in a way that honors your strengths and values (go to eddiepvilla.com). We explain that if you have at least three strengths in your top 10 from a certain domain, that domain describes what motivates you on a fundamental level. We describe what is important to executors, including progression, growth, certification, planning, and productivity. We describe how they can thrive during times of chaos.

“So, let’s get back into control. Pay attention to what you have 100 % control over, and make lists there. Start right now. I’m not going to get into any more depth on this psychologically, because I know that’s gonna make you crazy. So, I’m going to tell you what you always tell other people: go get to work. Just do. Just do.” 18:52

We finish by inviting you to use Eddie’s resources to help you thrive, especially by looking into getting tickets to the next online workshop at strengthsevents.com.

In this episode, we give you an update on Eddie’s situation in the wake of the current COVID-19 pandemic, and what he and his family are doing to adjust. He shares that having a clear understanding of who you are at your core is what will help you most right now. We encourage you to look at your current circumstances as an opportunity to grow rather than a reason to panic. We remind you to stay in your own business rather than others’ or God’s business if you want to be happy. We invite you to remember what’s great about you, remember the difficult moments in your life, focusing on how you bounce back from each. We also share something you can say to yourself during this time that will help you focus on using your strengths.

“The lessons I learned from those horrible experiences are lessons that I’m still learning from today. And I’m also using those lessons to teach other people that I care about. That’s a brilliant turn right there, right? How many times have you used those lessons that you paid the price for to help other people? I’m sure you’ve done it many times, over and over again. I’m gonna ask you to do it right now.” 7:56

In today’s episode, we start out by talking about the value of authenticity, and how you can get the things you’ve always wanted just by committing to be yourself. We talk about how many people have discovered this truth by going to Eddie’s workshops, and invite you to attend or schedule a workshop by going to strengthsevents.com. We share an example of how Eddie recently decided to back out of a good opportunity because of doubts, fear, or other excuses. We then share how he was able to push past those feelings for the next time he had an opportunity to take massive action.

Today’s topic is based on an analogy that Eddie has used to help those who are struggling to commit to their goals. Before explaining the analogy, we first invite you to identify those moments when it’s hardest for you to stick to your goals. During these moments, you are choosing to be on the edge of the spinning playground merry-go-round, where you are most likely to be hurt. You should instead make your way to where it’s safest in the center of this merry-go-round by finding ways to prepare yourself for these moments. To do this, we invite you to use your top 13 strengths to remind yourself of who you really are.

-Merry-Go-Round Analogy: Prepare, Don’t Play Around 6:08
-Build Yourself With Meditation 14:48
-Your Top 13 Are Your Center; Plan to Honor Your Commitments First 17:13

“You know at some point, I have to say to myself, ‘What the heck am I doing?’ And I want you to be able to look at yourself this way as well. Take a look at the things that you do that sabotage you. Look at the moments -- have you noticed that there’s a pattern? It seems to always happen around the same thoughts, the same times, the same places. Right? If you’re going to the same places that trigger you, you’re messing around with the merry-go-round.” 13:16

Today we update you on what Eddie has been able to achieve so far this year with his resolution to do everything fully authentically. This includes new workshops, conferences, programs, and a growing group. We then move on to talk about today’s topic, which is how to deal with the stress that surely will come with trying to live authentically. The best way to do this is to create space, which means using your strengths to develop habits and advance your skill set in a way that will allow you to grow with the pressure that comes with stress.

-Stress is Asking You to Expand; Do it 19:09

“The stress that you’re experiencing is actually your goals and your dreams, and your beliefs and the things the way that you want them to be -- those things are asking you to expand who you are to include them. That’s pretty cool. Stress is an indicator that you need to expand, not release the pressure!” 20:06

We also invite the listener to go to strengthsevents.com to find out when and where the nearest strengths workshop will be. Today’s report is of a woman who is a Relationship Builder and Executer, and has Empathy, Communication, Connectedness, and Arranger in her top 10 strengths.

This episode is a follow-up of a previous episode called, “Everything Happens For You.” We summarize the concept of that episode, and explain that in order to understand today’s concept, you have to agree with what was explained there. We explain that you can take negative or hurtful experiences and help others by finding and sharing the lessons you “earned” from the experience. In other words, people can connect with you and be helped by insights you earn from your life by having sacrificed for them.

“As embarrassing, or as painful, or as sad as I felt after that lunch, I am sucking the marrow, the value, the positivity, the lessons from this experience, and now I get to apply it to every single experience I have going forward. To develop the skill to stay in my business. To remember that even this simple little silly, embarrassing situation happened for me. But I’m making it happen for me. I’m making it work for me.” 19:35
