Disruptor #10 LIFE HACK: SigEx Definition of Authentic Success - "Having the innate ability to make emotional contact with self & others." Grab your favorite cup o joe or drip & enjoy this Saturday morning LIFE HACK session where you can take these new insights and put them into action!

SigEx Lore: The arrows in our SigEx logo symbolize the individual's positive and negative life experiences. When placed together, it gives us our own unique fingerprint. Making emotional contact with ourselves & others is the greatest gift that we humans have...
+Remember Jodie Foster in the movie Contact when she first makes contact while sitting in a field of satellite dishes? WOW! .

At SigEx we focus on resistances that prevent us from making emotional contact and learn to de-sensitize their negative impact in our daily lives. Trust me, this warm and fuzzy stuff impacts your leadership abilities as well your top and bottom line revenues:)

#1 . Projection: Create feelings of irritation, resentment, hostility and distrust. Takes place when a person is confronted with something about themselves that they cannot accept. Rather than struggling with this issue, they take what they need to engage and project it outward, away from themselves onto other. Pick a common projection that you send out and frame it conceptually. Digging deeper will help you turn this insight into action.
+What are your projections really trying to say at the very core?

#2 . Introjection Faulty beliefs that one has about themselves which is often taught to them from another. Even tougher are these self taught/swallowed-whole faulty beliefs that you have fully assimilated from within.
+What faulty beliefs are you still holding on to that are negatively impacting your life?

#3 . Retroflection: A change of energy. Blinking, breathing from your chest, storing stress in your shoulders. Person will shut down, hold back, tighten up & back away in order to avoid contact with what is being presented.

#4 . Confluence: Agreeing not to disagree “uh-huh-ing or yes-ing." Blurs the boundary between the self & the other so that the self does not feel separate & does not remain separate. Often times can lead to co-dependence or dismissal of self.

#5 . Deflection: Involves moving away from the specific contact point. (i.e. Changing the Subject completely or moving from the emotions to the head/thoughts)
Keeps you from saying what you need to say
Moves into a discussion that has nothing to do with what the person was trying to accomplish. Repositions whatever was difficult or scary and now is completely neutralized

Disruptor #9 Leadership & Self Deception by the Arbinger Institute is a wonderful book to start your company/mastermind group off with because it is a valuable lesson for all of us both personally and professionally. Each chapter has an assessment for your teams to discuss each week. Easy to read fable style interview with deep meaning and purpose.

“Self-deception ...blinds us to the true cause of problems, and once blind, all the ‘solutions’ we can think of will actually make matters worse. That’s why self- deception is so central to leadership – because leadership is about making matters better.”
