Essentialism<\/u><\/b><\/a><\/span> has been my favorite book for a long time, but I\u2019ve now found another that I\u2019m obsessed with. I read it and then immediately started rereading it:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I\u2019ve been quoting Gay Hendricks for a while after I heard him say on a podcast \u201cFear is excitement without the breath.\u201d This makes me think of people I\u2019m coaching in presentation skills. I encourage them to breathe and enjoy their presentations to help overcome nerves. It really works well (as Toru Nishikawa tells us in this video<\/a><\/u><\/b><\/span>).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So, why do I love The Big Leap<\/em> and what does it say about communication?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In my view, the book is very much about how we communicate with ourselves. And how we communicate with ourselves has a big impact on how we communicate with others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let me focus on three concepts that Gay introduces.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Upper Limiting<\/b>
You know when things start going really well, in your career or in a relationship for example? And then it all goes pear-shaped for some reason \u2013 you get sick, you have an accident, you get into an argument. That\u2019s Upper Limiting. We\u2019re somehow stopping ourselves from enjoying the success and happiness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gay says we have \u201cmillions of nerve connections devoted to registering pain\u201d and \u201ca huge expanse of territory in the center of our bodies dedicated to feeling fear,\u201d but we have \u201cno mechanism for ongoing natural good feeling.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So when we start to feel good, we unconsciously freak out and hold ourselves back.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Zone of Genius<\/b>
You may have heard the advice to find what you love to do, what you\u2019re good at, and what people will pay you for?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gay takes this a step further by distinguishing between the Zone of Excellence and the Zone of Genius.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Zone of Excellence is where you do things extremely well and can make a good living, but it\u2019s not your area of unique ability and you don\u2019t thrive there. For me that could be translating, which I did for many years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Zone of Genius is what you are uniquely suited to do. It draws on your special gifts and strengths. For me that\u2019s communication skills coaching \u2013 especially seeing a person\u2019s potential (as a communicator or presenter), feeling where they are now, and encouraging, guiding, and supporting them to do and be more than they thought possible. Oh, I love it!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now what\u2019s important is for us to spend as much time as possible in our Zone of Genius. Speaking of time\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Einstein Time<\/b>
If you\u2019re working in a global business environment, there\u2019s a good chance that you feel like you have a never-ending list of to-do\u2019s and no time to think, let alone relax.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I spent many years in that state and it\u2019s only recently that I\u2019ve started to make a change.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So I\u2019m fascinated with this concept of Einstein Time. Gay explains how to be in control of time instead of being a victim to it. Wow!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I think I\u2019ve just created some Einstein Time for myself by writing this post in record time. By gum, it works!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If any of this sounds interesting to you, I highly recommend that you read the The Big Leap<\/em>. Not only will you gain a deeper understanding of these concepts and more to help you make a profound difference in your life, but you can also enjoy the engaging way that Gay writes. It\u2019s like having a fireside chat with a good friend \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
