A friend shared a morning thought with me from a book he is reading with his wife on how apologizing and going the extra mile in the relationship can lead to a more fulfilling experience.

For me, this sparked the discussion of “how does a person’s personality type play a role in how they apologize and how often they apologize?”

For example, a person with a disposition to be more serving may be inclined to take the position of a doormat and get walked over all the time if they’re in a relationship with someone who has a stronger and more dominant personality. The growth plan for the more serving person would be to value themselves and set and maintain healthy boundaries for themselves.

What do you think?

If we were all merely brains walking around, then academics would probably be.. well, a no brainer ~ and thats just the left prefrontal lobe.
But, we're not just brains. We're body, we're relational, and we're a filter of own variation of all the raw data we've ever taken in which gives us our own unique personality. We're a little predictable, but when it comes to humans, one thing is for sure - there are no guarantees and change is inevitable. People will surprise you.
In this workshop, we want to encourage participants to consider three specific area for helping better equip students to close the achievement gap.
You may be stunned to find out what they are!
Learning Objectives:

Participants will be better prepared to:
Consider and address the students individual personality as a potential indicator of performance.
Realize how much of a role foundational relationships add to the equation of readiness to experience outcomes.
Observe the role of temperament in problem solving and handling situational stress and personal triggers.

On this episode of Life that Counts, we’ve gone through the archives to bring you a segment from a keynote.

“What really scares us,” as John echoes a poem from Marianne Williamson, “is how great we can really be!”

There’s three big take aways in this keynote:

1. Take Ownership and responsibility for everything in your life

2. Execute against your dreams and your goals

3. Vision - what is your ultimate give and leave behind


Thanks for tuning in! If this or any of the content we’ve shared has impacted you in a meaningful way, we’d love to hear about it. You can drop us a note by email, info@lifethatcounts.org.

Until next time, my name is Emily and I want to encourage you to push past the fear, push past the doubt, and live a live that counts!

Today, John discusses how to deal with critics, aka: haters, wannabes, pretend friends, frenemies...you get it!

The big take aways:

1- "turn your critics into coaches"

2- Be careful of seeking the approval of people who want to bring you down to their expectations. Instead, surround yourself with those who want whats best for you and who want to see you grow!

For example, in marriage a couple has to grow together and they have to give each other permission to grow as individuals while working to strengthen the relationship with one another.

3- If critics teach us anything, the way we process a critic is a direct indicator of the condition of our own heart.

Do I become angry, embittered, or fearful over the voice of a critic? If I do, chances are, I have an unhealthy sense of the meaning of that relationship.

If I mull over things a critic may say for too long and it starts negatively impacting my thought processes, then chances are I’m placing an inappropriate amount of value on what they say of me.

One of the most core desires for humans is that we are accepted by others. We are all looking for a "place in this world" (Michael W. Smith).

John’s encouragement: Stand strong. Fail forward. Surround yourself with those who sincerely want the best for you.


As always, if something about this has sparked imagination, a sense of hope, or is of some practical help in your life, drop us a line at info@lifethatcounts.org.
