Discover Your Shiny Eyes
What’s it like when you get to talk about your passion? You interests? Your loves?
SHINY EYES.
Ben Zander created a TED video talking to an audience about leadership. The true essence for leaders in developing “shiny eyes.” A curiosity in their staff, an investment, an interest.
We all get shiny eyes when we have a chance to speak about our Passions or Interests. What to really engage someone in a conversation and see them sparkle with excitement, belief and hope? Ask them, “So what would you love to being doing right now?” or “What did you love most about that?”
It’s not just a great coaching question – it’s a great relationship building tool.
What would you love doing right now?
Holiday vs. Vacation
Why is it someone can always get more done the day before they go on vacation? Well, I experienced that last week – a craze filled week of pulling together loose ends before I got to jet off to the beach. As I was doing the usual packing and cramming, I was listening to SuperCoach Michael Neal. He was talking about the mental mind shift of Vacations vs. Holidays. I always heard the Canadians talk about going on Holiday; and never really got the nuance until yesterday – two days into my Holiday.
The difference is in the celebration of what the day brings, not the escape from life I live everyday.
It’s about honoring the presence of the moment and embracing what it offers, not running from anything.
It’s also about long walks on the beach AND finding the thrill of that in the walks around the neighborhood.
What do I notice? I notice Holiday is a state of mind. It can be triggered any moment. I need to remind myself how easily it truly is to slip into this mode. While there is no ocean or salt water beaches – what is there?
That simple question “What is there?” will get me to notice the Holiday in my everyday. What will you notice?
