Your Approach

I was attending a seminar some 20 years ago when the seminar leader said something I considered profound: “The way you do one thing is how you do everything.”

He pointed out that how someone held the microphone when asking a question gave away more information than their mic technique; it showed you their approach to everything.

Reminds me of my sainted mother . . . When she visited one time, she tried to open the oven door. Unbeknownst to her the oven was being cleaned at that time and the door was locked. Routinely, when she ran into an every day problem, like an oven door not opening easily, she approached it with the force of a Category 5 hurricane. It was a classic scene that lives on in all our memories.

Mom didn’t have a “gentle” approach to anything. I’ll admit that some of that behavior has “rubbed off” on me and to one of my sons.

While the hellfire approach is very effective in certain situations, it has its limitations.

So here's the real question: Is the same approach limiting you?

It’s worth noticing.

Are you a one-trick pony? Most people answer “No,” when, in fact, the evidence points in the direction of “Yes.”

Just stopping to notice your approach presents you with more options. If you don’t notice, you’ll continue on automatic pilot and every approach will be on the same runway – one that’s often on a collision course with reality.

There are two immediate benefits to noticing your approach:

1. It makes you more flexible.

2. It keeps your oven door from being ripped off.

All the best,

John
