Creating the Impact You Choose - Personal Impact
People here know me as Ants.I enjoy, more than anything else in the world, the warmth of a sunrise on a crisp winter's morning as I stand on the first tee of any golf course in the world and the expectant feeling that, "Today I might just play out of my skin..."
Occasionally it happens... and I float off from the 18th hole... skinless.
That experience helps me rediscover things about my character, that the everyday pressures of work, parenthood, earning a living and all the other things life throws at us, seems somehow to squash or at least relegate to the 'back'.
We, as individuals, are many things to many people at many different times. My mission, whether I'm working with a single person, or speaking to an auditorium filled with faces, is to try to help as many people as possible to 'consciously create the impact they choose'.
The only way I know to get 'conscious' is to understand ourselves as well as possible... understand our patterns of communication both active and passive. Once we're clear about what presses our buttons and how we automatically respond once they're pressed, we can begin integrating the many 'faces' that constitute us as individuals.
Once we have self-knowledge, all the tools and models and graphs and theories, espoused by trainers, facilitators, life or business coaches, tend to become redundant.
Once you begin to develop an understanding of the messages you give simply by walking into a room without speaking a word, you can begin consciously answering your own questions and finding your own ways to overcome the challenges you face.
Of course outside interventions can be useful, but my position is that once your self-awareness is raised... you'll be self-capable of many things.
Something about 'teaching a man to fish' comes to mind...
There's no right or wrong in communication... just 'cause and effect'. The skill is in consciously creating that 'cause' to achieve the impact you choose.
So what is it I do?
I help people put their attention on their intention... a simple idea but a lifetime's work.
