Kerryn Vaughan - Drawing the line
There’s a misconception that we have to be perfect, and that if we behave in an undesirable way then we’re not leaders. The truth is, we all fall below the line. What matters is how long we stay there.
It seems we’re always quick to judge or blame others, and just as quick to sit in denial or to justify our position. Often, even when we know we are in the wrong! But how often are we accountable for our words and actions? And do we take responsibility for things that need to sit with us? What about owning up when we make a mistake. The latter are all things that sit above the metaphorical line, and being above the line helps us to perform better and build stronger relationships. But is it OK to go below the line?
Kerryn Vaughan - Finding happiness in a box
Are we living our lives compromising or contributing to our wellbeing? And how is it that we could find happiness in a box?
Happiness is that elusive thing we all chase, but what does it actually mean? What if we replaced that never-ending search with celebration and seeking moments of joy. Those things that bring us energy, put a smile on our dial, and fill our cups. What then, are we doing that is compromising our happiness and our opportunity to find those moments of joy, and can we do more of the things that are contributing to our wellbeing?
Mention:
Kerryn Vaughan - Identity and authenticity
Most of us walk around all day with a mask on, pretending to be something we’re not. What would we do that and who is under the mask?
What if we could live our lives for ourselves, and not living to please the expectations of others? Do we even know what that would look like? The number one regret of the dying, according to author Bronnie Ware, is “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me”. When we know what we stand for and what values drive us, we have more confidence to stand in our space and assert and manage our own lives the way we want it to be. Ultimately we want to go to bed at night and sleep with ourselves and like who we are. This level of peace can only be found through authenticity and the courage to truly be ourselves.
Kerryn Vaughan - Exploring emotions
What if we could identify what’s beneath the surface in relation to emotions that make us feel crappy? But are we prepared to do the hard work that really hurts in order to get to that place of peace?
We all have emotions and they are actually a great thing. Emotions are often labelled positive and negative because of the way they make us feel, but all emotions serve a wonderful purpose - to motivate us to take action to avoid or gain. All emotions come with a physical sensation, thoughts, and a behaviour. When we get an emotional charge, we can choose to suppress, react or respond. The good news is, we always have the choice.
Kerryn Vaughan - Challenging the fear of failure
What if we could overcome the fear of failure? What if we did push through the self doubt and negative narrative and we did that thing, and we succeeded?
Fear of failure is a very real thing and impacts almost all of us. But what if we pushed past that fear and took a risk to do something important to us? That’s where growth lives, and satisfaction, and confidence. We allow our beliefs and past experiences to determine what we try into the future and so many incredible dreams are never brought to life because of that fear. We miss grand opportunities and can end up chronically sick simply because we allow fear to paralyse us. But what if we put one foot in front of the other and tip toed in to see if we might actually succeed?
Kerryn Vaughan - Zen outside of the comfort zone
What happens when we step outside of our comfort zone? Usually magic! But why is it we are so reluctant to actually take a chance? Zen found outside the walls of safety has a definite sweet spot.
This week my partner and I went to Metung Hot Springs. We booked it couple of months ago thinking it would be great to go in winter as the outside temperature would be freezing but it would be lovely and warm in the hot pools. However, we didn’t take into account that it might bucket down rain, because it is winter, and that we might actually decide to sit in the car at Metung, chomping on a pie while watching the pelicans rather than immerse ourselves in the geo-thermal pools. What we needed was a big attitude change and a different story to tell ourselves.
