=====
Expatriation

• Once you leave where you grew up, it’s hard to find that sense of belonging again
• You’re a foreigner in a new place (expatriation) and also when you go back “home” (repatriation)
• Learn to be at home wherever you are
• Both you and the places you leave behind change
• If you go back home, approach it as another expatriation
• Learn to be at home with people rather than places

“A Great Move” Book

• People who voluntarily move do so for 3 primary reasons: career/prospects, love, adventure
• The attitude of the adventurer is wonderful but can lead to being unprepared
• Understanding transition stages (honeymoon, crisis, recovery, adjustment)
• Personality traits affect the emotional impact
• Creating home is a key pillar of feeling stable and grounded

Being Stuck

• Factors that affect us: values, expectations, growth, partner, environment
• Some circumstances can keep us stuck, but 90% is about how we approach it (Mindset)
• Focusing on the barriers versus focusing on your goals or vision
• Conditioning (upbringing, labels, roles, events) matters and shapes us

Reinvention Roadmap

• Establish a healthy baseline
• Reconnect with ourselves
• Align with values, vision, and purpose
• Build momentum with baby steps
• Deal with saboteurs
• Sustain the reinvented person

Leadership is about love and caring

• Great leaders radiate empathy
• Which leads to a sense of responsibility
• Ennobling ideals and enduring values mean more than what many businesses stand for
• We should benchmark leaders based on how many lives they’ve changed, not dollars they’ve made
• Let’s stand for something bigger than success
• We need role models who stand the test of time
• A leader’s job is to make something happen that wasn’t supposed to happen

Writing books

• Painful process
• Takes much longer than you ever thought it would
• Life is more than “making the doughnuts”
• Every day is an act of creation
• It’s something that can have an impact
• “Masterful Coaching” was written in 1995

Guiding principles for a leader

• Find your hero
• Take a stand for something greater than yourself
• Lead with the power of your words
• The power of teams is greater than individuals
• Results now
• Coach rather than cop
• Growth through adversity

Growth through adversity

• Leaders grow through crucible experiences
• Great adversity can lead to transformation
• Harry Truman called his troops back after they ran away
• Character is destiny - Truman studied leaders and battles

Masterful Coaching

• Become the leader your business needs by realizing the impossible future
• Be daring to create a legendary company
• Did you make a difference?
• Great leaders have integrity, empathy, responsibility, drive, humility and self-reflectiveness

=====
Stress

• Stress = (What we seek to control) MINUS (What we can actually control)
• Notice where we focus our attention: is it on things that we control or not?
• Drama comes from focusing on what others do that upset us, rather than looking inward

Conflict

• Stress and conflict can create a vicious cycle
• Interpersonal conflict and intrapersonal still both stem from self
• Other people are indeed problematic, but we don’t have as much control or influence

Influence

• We have most influence over ourselves
• You’re most likely to influence others with lion energy rather than squirrel energy

Change Your Behavior

• Awareness: identify what’s triggering you
• Acceptance: this is where you are because of your decisions, change could involve loss
• Assessment: what will change encompass, what’s necessary?
• Action: put pen to paper and make the change
• Adjustment: assess and change course as needed

Curiosity may be more powerful than certainty
