"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond" -Charles SwindollWhile many leadership programs teach you what to do, the 7 levels of leadership focus on attitude.  Our leadership can be either anabolic (build up) or catabolic (break down), and this attitude is not only felt by us but those around us. We can choose to move from simply reacting to life (catabolic) and proactively elevating to the higher levels of leadership (anabolic).  It is important to remember that it is not inherently bad to experience the catabolic emotions, but simply to acknowledge that may be where we are.7 Levels:Powerlessness: "I lose"Conflict: "I win because you lose"Tolerance: "I win, and if you win great!"Service: "You win"Opportunity: "Win-Win"SynergyCo-Creation Links Mentioned:Survey: What would you like to hear on this podcast?The 7 Levels of Leadership concept comes from iPEC (the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching)Energy Leadership by Bruce D.

We have all had that experience of wanting to pursue a goal, but we just don't feeling like putting in the work.  Our mind tell us "yes" but our emotions tell us "no."Understanding the cycle of meaning is fundamental for getting our emotions in line with our minds, and ultimately understanding what is really holding us back:Stimulus: A situation happensStory: Based on the situation, we tell ourselves a storyEmotion: Based on the story, we feel a particular way about the situationAction: We will act according to the emotionWe go through this cycle many different times every day.  The key here is recognizing the stories and limiting beliefs that we have.  These tend to be the things that are really holding us back.  The more personal the limiting belief is, the more difficult it will be to overcome.We are not defined by our circumstances or our beliefs, but as humans we have the capacity to choose to overcome them.Links Mentioned:Survey: What would you like to hear on this podcast?Follow Us:Work With ChadGet Your Free TalkTo connect with me, feel free to reach out with questions or to schedule a complementary coaching session: Chad@8thdaycoaching.com

Stories are powerful.  Every culture at all places at all times have stories.  Stories are powerful because our lives are stories.Many stories, like Star Wars, have a common formula that Joseph Campbell outlines in his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces.Campbell outlines about 20 plot points, but I just want to highlight a few:  Ordinary person (the hero) living an ordinary life receives a call to adventure into an extraordinary worldRefuses the callCrossing the thresholdGiven Supernatural aidRoad of trialsUpon victory, blessing is bestowed upon the othersThis same formula can be followed in the Lord of the Rings, Lion King, Harry Potter, the Karate Kid, Aladdin, the Hunger Games, Captain America, or really any of the Avengers origin stories.This is all interesting, but it gets far more interesting when we apply the hero's journey to our own lives.  As Christians, the hero's journey is God's plan for humanity.Links Mentioned:I first heard of the hero's journey from the Super Carlin Brothers.  Click here to check out their take.Survey: What would you like to hear on this podcast?Follow Us:Work With ChadGet Your Free TalkTo connect with me, feel free to reach out with questions or to schedule a complementary coaching session: Chad@8thdaycoaching.com
