The Answer is Right There…

 


It was cool watching the “Aha Moments” on people’s faces when they really get something.

We’re seeing it in our classes, seminars and in the PeaceWalker Evolution Course!

I know you experience this too…

You’re working with someone who is new at something that you’re good at. You see them struggling with the same things that you excel at…

But then there’s a shift…

They have an epiphany, they see how one of those mundane, simple, basic principles connect to solving one of their bigger problems. You see the light go on. The look on their face is unmistakable as they have a moment of success.

Simple. No?

Learning how to protect yourself and deal with conflict is a lot like that.

The simple stuff IS the advanced stuff.

The simple stuff IS the effective stuff.

Sometimes in our minds desire to learn and consume information, it begins make things overly complicated.

Now, don’t get me wrong there are a lot of complicated things out there in the world… However protecting yourself and dealing with conflicts inside of and around you shouldn’t be.

Often times it’s profoundly simple. Once you know the formula, it quite easy. It’s like once you see it, you can’t un-see it!

You have to have patience with those who you are sharing the formula with, because simple isn’t always easy. The answer is often right in front of them, but they just don’t have the eyes to see it yet.

Learning the basics to the point of (relative) mastery.

Understanding how to apply those basics in an effective way.

Seeing the importance of basics (of whatever you’re doing), often takes time. Why? Because people just don’t see what they don’t see. It often take some personal experience for them to start putting the pieces together and seeing the how and why behind the set of basics they are learning.

The Advanced Stuff Is Simply…

The Basics done really well. That’s the secret of mastering anything.

The real question is how do you stay the path until you start to see the correlations?

Simple.

  • Learn to enjoy the journey.

  • Trust the process.

  • Train yourself to appreciate the little things.

  • Stay curious.

  • Work hard but, keep it playful.

  • Yes, there are times to be serious, but still be light hearted.

  • Learn to balance the Light & Dark, the Heavy & Light.

This will help you get through those tough times easier and appreciate the good times more.

What Secret Sauce?!

When it comes to protecting yourself, dealing with conflict and learning to lead a more powerful Life, I share that entire framework in my flagship program, PeaceWalker Evolution Course…

But, unless you are already in this years course, you’re outta luck at the moment…

Although…

What you CAN do Right Now is… …

An Uncomfortable Situation

  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people simply do

The Shot Heard Around the World

Even though many could see where all of this division and hatred in our country was leading to, when we witness the actual violence, realty once again floods in and has a way of shattering the comfort of our complacency, if only until the next headline. Some may find all of this shocking, others may see it simply validating their own fears. Regardless, of your political views, we have to take into account what this level of violence can do not only to the former President and his family, but what does to the state of our entire Nation. Yesterday as news broke of former President Donald Trump being shot, I can’t say that I was entirely surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. Regardless of your political stance, this act of violence is a dark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a society steeped in hate and division. Our collective heartbreak should not be about politics, but about the division and hatred that fuels this erosion of our humanity. We live in a time where traditional

Cutting Through the Static

  Me and the crew at Venue 3 Two after a PeaceWalker Conflict Communication Workshop Remember in the old days when you used to listen to the radio on a road trip? No, not digital or streaming. I’m talking about old school FM radio. When you’re putting some miles on and crossing state lines. The radio stations you listen to don’t broadcast far enough for your entire trip, so you have to channel surf to find new channels as you move on down the road. You continue to push the search button until you hear a song in the genre that you want so you can lock in a desirable station for a spell. Sometimes you’re listening to a song you really like but the station is fading… The static starts feint, almost imperceptible, than grows in intensity to the degree that you can no longer ignore it. If you really like the song, you try to hang on as long as you can, listening to the tune through the white noise and times it cuts out completely, hoping to hear as much of the song as you can before the sta
