Listen "Ch. 6 Learning through focusing "
Episode Synopsis
You can learn to focus both inward and outward to build your leadership skills. Once you can focus, you can change your perspective using framing and multiple vantage points. I review the following key concepts:Understanding politics in a positive light using perspective taking. The positive and negative sides of habituation--tuning things out consciously and unconsciously. The danger of being an expert and how to use ‘beginner’s mind’ to combat habituation. The ‘one-down’ position to facilitate learning. Challenging ourselves with new experiences to facilitate learning. Experiment: tiger eye meditation--meditating with your eyes open to develop your ability to focus both inward and outward.Experiment: noticing different types of distractions and learning to manage them; creating gap time by taking a media holiday. Experiment: mindful reading--taking in ideas with curiosity and openness rather than judgment. Experiment: positive sensitization to open your mind and cultivate greater awareness.Experiment: using ultradian rhythms to recharge and changing channels to refresh yourself on your body’s natural cycles.
