Crucial Conversations

Consider the two words below.

– rea𝐂tive

– 𝐂reative

These two words describe the mindset that you can bring to any conversation.

There is a key difference in the position of the letter “𝐂”

Best-selling author Neale Donald Walsch, says “When we 𝐂 things correctly, life becomes 𝐂reative instead of rea𝐂tive.”

Repositioning a letter… one 𝒔𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒍 move, makes a 𝒉𝒖𝒈𝒆 difference.

Our mindset is vitally important.

Changing the way, we talk with one another; will change the way we act.

And subsequently changing the way people act, will in turn, as a result, change the outcomes.

Recently I’ve been involved in several conversations about presence.

Presence: being aware of what is happening in the moment, experiencing body sensations, noticing thoughts, feeling emotions.

Whilst deepening your presence can be somewhat challenging, the results can be transformative.

When we are present, we are in touch with what’s really happening.

Research reveals that presence is a capacity that can be developed by everyone.

Being 𝐂reative in the here-and-now is pivotal in re-energising and engaging people around you.

Slowing down is equally crucial.

When people listen to each other, they do their best thinking, by surfacing concerns in both directions.

Subsequently, when you are really “present” and “land” in the moment by addressing what matters most, experience has taught me that new unseen possibilities emerge and come into view.

So, what does all this mean for you and me?

Simply stated, a single conversation can potentially open or shut a door on a whole new future that can help us to become more conscious of how we talk with one another.

Choose to be present today and for a while, give someone your undivided attention.
