Ben is a 40 year old account executive at a large manufacturing company. He is about to enter a very important meeting. He’s tired, overworked, and generally having a bad day. He walks into the board room, thumps down in his chair and awaits the next round of bad news.
Rey is a 32 year old CPA who is about to enter the same meeting. She is also tired, overworked and generally having a bad day. Rey walks into the board room, but before she sits down, she takes a deep breath … and gently reminds herself to … relax.
Everything else being equal, who do you think has a better chance of showing up as their better self during that meeting?
Rey spent two seconds to set a simple intention before this interaction. Two seconds.
That’s it. Can that small exercise really make a difference in how she shows up in that meeting? I say yes! Rey made a choice before her meeting. She implicitly asked a question of herself…How do I want to show up in this meeting?
