Letting go of your ego opens the door to taking a new and creative course of action.

Being present starts with recognizing when you are ignoring, denying or judging the present circumstances and shifting to learning, understanding and creating.

When speaking, being present means you choose to respond rather than react, letting go of emotions and objections and remaining focused on what is to be achieved.

It’s Not All About You…Stay in the Game. Taking myself lightly means trading my self-absorption for connecting with others…it is really not all about you! One of our workshop participants relates to this principle in this way: Don’t make yourself more important than the situation.

Your ability to move others into appropriate, timely, and effective action is largely determined by the consequences of your speaking and listening.

Agreeing to disagree is a way of giving up—an admission that neither one of us has the skills, courage, or tenacity to work it out!
