#170 Get your Remind-Ears on

Welcome to Weekly Whisper #170.

Get your Remind-Ears on

It’s thought that we need to be reminded more than we need to be taught.

Probably not true in every circumstance but certainly true in some.

For example, when I’m working with clients either running a strategic facilitation, a leadership program, a workshop on a particular topic or individual coaching a question I often ask is

“How much of the ‘content’ that we talked about was new to you?”

Most of the time the answer is some form of “I’ve come across it before or I’ve been exposed to it at a different organisation/function or we already new that was our biggest challenge”.

And whilst they may not have come across the way I talk about it or the angle I approach it from, generally speaking they’ve heard of, read about, already know about, or have been ‘taught’ the material previously.

The way I talk about it or the angle I approach it from often prompts the response “But it was a great reminder”.

So, it got me thinking about reminders or putting on our Remind-Ears.

It’s possible our Remind-Ears could make us better than the best teacher… if only we could access it at the right time, for the right reason, in front of the right person etc etc

It’s possible our Remind-Ears are the greatest source of insight for us.

It’s possible our Remind-Ears could help us with the problem right in front of us if we can find a way to listen.

So, what do you need to remind yourself about?

What’s the most important thing you can remind yourself about on a daily basis?

And if it’s not daily you’re in danger of it being drowned out but the abundance of info-noise out there.

So, what will you do to remind yourself today?
