World Game-ChangersThings I Didn't Know (1) - Paul D. Lowe & John Chappelear
On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul begins a new, longer series talking to John Chappelear - a first time guest - about the things he didn’t know, that he now knows and thinks the world should know.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I didn’t realise that an emotional connection was key to leadership, personal relationships, I kept everything on an intellectual level. There’s a value to including emotion in everyday life, conversation and every single situation that you encounter.
- So many business owners tell me they need their people to be more engaged. What’s the difference between a couple and a couple that’s engaged? Emotion. The couple that’s engaged has a tremendous amount of emotional connection between the two of them and you don’t have to talk them into doing anything. If you can create that kind of engagement between yourself and your employees/staff/family, the connection will be so much deeper.
- I didn’t realise or know the importance of practice to permanence, I thought I was already born to this ‘smarter, quicker, better than’ mindset because everything came easy. I assumed I was really smart so people would want to care about me. No, they didn’t! It was only when I started to care about them that they started caring about me.
- Acceptance helps defuse so many situations. I didn’t say “I agree with you”, I said “I accept your position”. It’s about the willingness to be empathetic rather than taking your anger and resentment from work and dump it on your family and vice versa. That all dissipates when you are willing to be interested in what’s going on in other people’s lives/heads/hearts.
BEST MOMENTS
‘People want to go where they feel appreciated and cared about. It really is that frighteningly simple'.
‘Be willing to try something that you’re uncomfortable with'.
‘Set an intention to be more engaged with the people around you'.
‘Get your path and then follow it'.
