The choices we make, identity, timing, leadership and culture have a part to play.
Before we were born, something in us fought to be here and along the way we may take a L or loose the plot — risking never getting it back, however, give yourself permission to regain control and keep it.

Consider this a solo workshop and let’s start with two charts then follow the steps bollow:

  1. Accountability — Identity (internal) and Timing (external)
  2. Community — Leadership (internal) and Culture (internal)
Identity (Y) and Time (X) matrix chart
Leadership (Y) and Culture (X) matrix chart

Where are you on each chart? suggest printing charts

  • On the chart, start at the 🏁
  • On the Identity/Leadership line — for each statement below, if true, move down 1 line
  • Move left or right based on response to Time/Culture below
  • ♥️ ideally, where we want to be

How to loose the plot

  • Identity
    1. Influenced by partner, spouse, peers, religion, career and location, shaping & validating your point of View (POV)
    2. Non-Transparent
    3. Conflict resolution/Descalation challenges
    4. Self-measurement & reflecton lacking Strength Finders, this/LexTC.com is a decent tool/start
  • Timing
    • From 0% — 100%, how much of your time belongs to you?
  • Leadership
    1. Control > Ownership controlling more than owning
    2. Succession plan de-prioritized
    3. Direction needed
    4. Self-authority not established
  • Culture
    • From 0% — 100%, how much of your time enriches your community?
