This morning, I was having a little chat with myself about my future involvement with Landmark Education. I noticed that I was ticking off the reasons I was not suitable to lead any of their programs.
When I reached one particular reason, the Q-TIP alarm when off. Whoa, there, Big Boy. Let's go through that list again, shall we.
The Landmark Center in San Diego has a rather large missing, in my opinion. I've been focused on that and on the senior members of assisting teams who have been looking for ways to provide something that will make a difference. I've been looking, too.
I've been doing a little compare and contrast game, though. I've watched a few senior leaders have strong emotional reactions to the fallout around this area of unworkability. I had fallen into the trap of concluding that I might not be committed enough because I'm not having those reactions.
On further examination, though. I think the reactions I've been seeing are less about standing in the face of no results while be committed to results than it has been standing in the face of personal failure for no results while attached to a particular outcome.
Oops. Quit Taking it Personally. There is a big difference between taking on the game of being responsible for everything going on around you and taking anything as a personal failure.
In fact, that is a big part of Landmark training. And of HAI training. I think if it weren't for my HAI training, I might have fallen right into the same pothole a few of the senior leaders have fallen into.
Then the question to ask myself is this: What's missing in the realm of possibility, the presence of which will make a difference for these leaders. Presencing the attachment v. commitment distinction probably isn't going to do it. I think it has something to do with operating in a partnership model.
Accountability is a great game, but without community, it has little or no value. Living as if accountability, possibility or even integrity is personal is a trap. Easily fallen into, though.
A major contribution I can be in this game is presencing Q-TIP. Being a clearing for partnership to arise. Yep. That's a good game.
It fits beautifully with my commitment to creating peace, love and joy with every conversation. Oh, yeah.
Oh, by the way, I love you. I do. That you can take personally, if you wish. :)

no subject
the landmark center isn't the only thing that's missing something large. :)
btw, what's with the colourful assault on my unsuspecting eyes? i guess it'll force me to enhance my CSS to keep other people's tables from overriding my own nice dark background. :) oh, woops. can't edit my CSS anymore, not a paid account.
