Listen "OTO Episode 66: Helping Your Friends Ease into Personal Growth with Virtuous Cycles"
Episode Synopsis
We are surrounded by peers who are in vicious cycles. Struggling with negative mentalities, poor workplaces or a lack of work-life balance. Recently one of my masterminders posed a question to me, "How do I get friends to start to try Personal Growth Initiative as a way to develop?"
This is a great question. Those of you who listen to this podcast likely already see the value in Personal Growth. Likely you've invested in this concept for weeks, to months to even years. If your like me you might even struggle to remember the first steps that lead you down this development path.
Today I reflect upon my personal development journey. From my first days of simply reading books, to my most recent revelations about reflection I share my story of how Personal Growth occurred for me, step by step through the last 8 years. I will show that this growth doesn't need to occur all at once and that each step, and no matter the means, will create a new Virtuous Cycle. Discussing potential new habits, steps or commitments is key to the conversations you will need to have with your friends and peers to shift their mentality.
I believe that if we can get our peers to invest in even one of these steps we will be able to "hook" them into more motivated Personal Growth behavior, shifting the perverse negative mentality in our profession!
