TVC077 Vulnerable To Accountable
In this episode I share my top tips on why it’s vital to be vulnerable and recognise that every phase has it’s opportunity to learn and evolve in leadership and in life.
Recognising that roadblocks in life and business are part of growth, knowing where you sit in the scheme of chaos to calm and 5 things to consider when you need to ask for advice from others.
The shift from vulnerable to accountable and why it’s important to recognise that feelings of discomfort or vulnerability aren’t necessarily a negative thing.
Replace fear with curiosity and define your NOW, THEN, NEXT and IF with the Vitality Road Map Check Point quadrant.

At the end of the day your true destiny comes from your inner GPS and how you actually decide to walk your path and what actions you take regardless of what happens to you.

Understanding where you sit right now – vulnerable is not a negative feeling
If you’re feeling out of sorts or out of control, confronted with decisions or just that elements in life are not aligning and you’re without support then here’s quick steps to get back in the drivers seat.
The first step:  grab a piece of paper and he draw on that piece of paper a quadrant, the Now, the Then, the Next and If.
In that Now box, Write down every single thing that is going on with your life, everything that’s concerning you, the good things, the bad things, the great, the remarkable, the horrible, everything possible.
The fill in the Then. What was happening when things were going well, when you felt great, when you were happy not only at work but also happy in yourself as a person.
Proud of yourself, proud of your behaviours, not trying to manipulate situations but what did great look like?” Write down the feeling and circumstances and situations when things were going really well in the Then box.
Next: The bottom Left.  What would you have to do next?

What would have to happen next?
What situations would have to change?
What people would have to do?
What conversations would have to happen?
What business would have to happen?
What time would have to happen?

What do you need to do to make a shift from now that you’ve recognised you’re at this point where things really can no longer be hidden and they no longer …

Where would you like to be?
What would you like to feel like, look like, act like, do? 

The last part of this is the recognition what would happen if you do not make any changes.  It is the If box.
If you do not change;

* if you continue on this path
* if you continue with this mindset
* if you do not reboot your personal hard drive and take responsibility for being in charge of your life and how you are as a human to yourself and to others, what will happen if you do not change?

That is a very sobering moment – what is your trajectory if you stay in this behaviour and you stay in this element?

Vulnerable Means You’re Aware: Be Accountable and Listen to Your Inner GPS
Your ego is not your amigo.  As you’re writing down your ideal Next, you notice that lots of ideas and should’s and could’s and society measures pop up into the dialogue, it might fight you for what truly you want.

The first answer when you ask yourself a question is always the right one.

All the other stuff was just layers on top that we thought we should think or should do or should be or should provide.
When you’re writing your Next box which is that bottom left-hand quadrant,
