"A reminder regarding defensiveness"

(58 seconds)

If you recognize defensiveness in someone, then their subconscious (or conscious) mind is telling you that they feel as if they’re being attacked or will be attacked.

This is a Level 5 reminder regarding defensiveness.

The more defensive that someone is, the less they’re able to focus on listening.

Remember to recognize defensiveness.

"About being an asshole"

(4 minutes, 55 seconds)

Inevitability.

Some secrets keep us alive.

Others eat us from the inside out.

Either way, we the people really like to hold on to our shit.

That’s what makes each of us, on occasion, a real asshole.

The universal sign to tell someone that you do not intend to listen to them is to plug your ears before and/or while they’re speaking.

This is a Level 5 reminder regarding earbuds.

Earbuds are plugging your ears.

Is plugging your ears likely to bring you closer to your goals, or further from them?

Do your best to be prepared for it.

Document and add order to it.

This is how someone will be a successful manager:

"The Man in the Water"

"The Man in the Water" is a simple story that asks you to invest 4 minutes, 54 seconds of your valuable time to listen to it, and offers this as an incentive for doing so:

There is a helpful lesson shared within this story that will either be something that you're learning of for the first time, or that you're being reminded of at a time that you're able to make immediate use of it. Either way, it has limitless potential value in your future.

The options are yours:

Choose to accept help when it is being offered.

Or not.

"The Man in the Water" is a Spuyten Duyvil Story. That means that it has at least two beginnings, and no ending.

Season 02 Episode 01

Level 5

Regretting means that you want to change the past.

Remembering means that you intend to change the future.

Be not afraid to remember.

(1 minute, 33 seconds)

Ownership is also a state of mind, a perspective from which one can approach their professional responsibilities to maximize the potential of both the business and the individual.

Einstein said "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."

An employee that approaches each day with an ownership mindset is going to be of more value to an organization than an employee that does not.

Be an owner.

(1 minute, 30 seconds)

Then I began to understand what being a great leader really means, and it starts with not describing oneself as a "leader".

Would you like to know why?

Then this episode is for you.

(1 minute, 16 seconds)

In which, it would turn out, I was vastly overmatched.

(3 minutes, 25 seconds)

This is a Level 5 reminder.

The choices that you make determine how much progress – or not – you will make today, relative to your goals.

Be aware of your options throughout the day and make choices that you believe will bring you closer to your goals.

Because if something isn’t bringing you closer to your goals, then it may be taking you further from them.

Organize.

Communicate.

Educate.

Do.

Rest.

Evaluate.

This extended episode walks you through an effective and efficient way to begin practicing The Process of Understanding: 

Focusing on your own understanding of your own expectations - of yourself, and others. And of others' expectations of you.

(4 minutes, 32 seconds)

Remember: The Level 5 Method is like an Operations Manual for your body and the mind that occupies it.

Understanding is an essential skill in the art and practice of living.

It is a skill that can be practiced with the following Foundational program:

Organize.

Communicate.

Educate.

Do.

Rest.

Evaluate.

Modify

[repeat]

It is something you do.

This episode will remind you of how appreciation works, and includes a shout-out to one of my high school teachers.

People need help.

The more skilled you are at helping others, the more valuable you are to others.

If you intend to be helpful, then invest time practicing the skill of helping (and all of its subcomponents).

Be helpful.

This 28 second episode is a reminder to remain focused on your top priority objective for the day.

This is a Level 5 Daily Reminder.

This episode poses this question to Owners and Managers: Do you represent your organization visually with an Org Chart or an Org Tree?

Your answer at the end of the episode may not be the same as it was at the start.

One of the key ingredients of patience is breathing. If something is important, then it makes sense to practice it.

Remember to practice breathing.

This is Level 4or Awareness Training
