As we move from one extreme to another, we are granted the gift of a story to tell of how we journey as people in our personal lives and leaders in our business or community lives. We tell of our evolution as man and womankind and all the variation in between.
Here are some examples of extremes we may face in our lives and how we can journey from one to the other through story. These experiences impact us in specific ways and define our story. The examples below are just a few of my own that spark stories that brought me from one extreme to another:
Move away | Go To | For the purpose of |
Private Transportation | Public Transportation | Contributing to fewer emissions issues |
Arguing | Reasoning | Limiting unproductive fighting |
Rushing | Taking our Time | Limiting the number of missteps or reducing anxiety |
Judging | Affirming | Benefiting from greater curiosity |
Indifference | Compassion | Demonstrating care for others |
Texting | Talking | Developing a more human connection |
Talking | Listening | Allowing others to be heard |
