Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs - What If We Were All Rated?

Got labels? In this show, we’re going to talk about labels. The ones we want and don’t want. There are labels, positive and negative, we are given. That we often believe. There are many leaders who say “Deny any negative labels, reject them!” However, we sometimes get labels that we know...have some truth to them. And we just accept them. Even...when we change. Then what about the labels we want? Can we not become those? I have a message about this from...Zig Ziglar. He tells what is actually a fairly disheartening story of testimonies of how negative labels dramatically affected people’s live, of course, primarily for the worse. As you know, he doesn’t often spend time communicating anything negative. But to drive home his point, he did in this clip. But as always, he uses it to empower us. From the clip I posted this message to the Ziglar audience: QUESTION: 1. What negative label (from others or yourself) do you strive to reject? 2. What positive label do you strive to be? I asked Michelle Prince to join me to talk through your comments, we got through as many as we could. This is a very tangible and often sore issue in our lives, but getting it out on the table to deal with is really, really significant. We ultimately got far more comments about the positive labels people are striving for, embracing and becoming. Very inspiring discussion. Learn more about your ad choices.

What are the healthy habits of a professional listener? Though Oscar Trimboli actually says he’s not, he’s striving like we all are. But he’s a professional listening teacher at the least! This is our Habits show where we walk through the 7 spokes on the Ziglar Wheel of Life, this time with...Oscar Trimboli, our guest in show 651 where are topic was Deep Listening. I just received a requested case of his little book, Deep Listening, to give to those closest to me. I’d really, really encourage you to get yours, go to oscartrimboli.com. Of interest to me, in discussing Oscar’s personal habits, as you heard in the intro clip, he realizes that a person he often needs to listen to, is...himself. He also talks about his interest in photography, which he perceives as another form of...listening. You’ll be intrigued to hear all the habits of this deep thinker.  Learn more about your ad choices.

What is the primary enemy of your ongoing peace? This is the question I posed to our listeners. I’m referring back to my interview with Rick Hanson in show #647 where we talked about being Resilience. And I wanted to hear from you. And asked that question on Facebook, “What is the primary enemy of your ongoing peace?” I feel like I keep saying this, but it was a near record number of incredibly candid responses. Most people seemed well aware of what the consistent culprits are that can easily derail them if they are not diligent and aware, which is excellent, because getting them out on the table is half the battle. Tom Ziglar joined me to talk through them and it was convicting for us all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Do you hear me? Do you hear anyone? In this show I give focus to a skill that can increase your social stature, influence and overall opportunity...exponentially. A skill that, according to our guest, only 2% of the world is ever, ever taught. A skill few of us ever even think about...though we direly desire this skill in others and adore those who happen to have it. What is the skill? Listening. Why do you care? Wouldn’t you...like to be adored by others? Have influence with them? Have better relationships, with everyone? Your spouse or significant other, your children, you co-workers or employees or business partners and associates...your friends...again, everyone? Please don’t miss this show and this message. It’s not sexy. But neither is saving money. Being debt free forever...everyone wants it. Listening is doing the work, for massive social capital. It’s so easy to stand out and be a hero, because as you’ll hear in this show, few people effectively listen. As you’ll hear, me included. My guest is Oscar Trimboli. He’s an expert in this field and wrote a small, coffee table book titled “Deep Listening” - Impact beyond words. After a short review...I knew I needed to bring him and his message, to you...the Ziglar audience. Oscar is a consultant to organizations such as Cisco, Google, HSBC, News Corp, PayPal, Qantas, and TripAdvisor helping executives and their teams listen to what’s unsaid by the customers and employees. As you will hear in the show, while Oscar began this research on listening in the business world, he is not focused on each of us individually and has the goal of bringing deep listening to 100 million people.

The answer is more important than you’d think. I’m bringing you a two minute clip from Zig Ziglar today on, retirement. I’ll preface by admitting what he says is somewhat controversial. But the point massively valid regarding retirement, if that is your goal and expectation. So I simply asked this question on my personal Facebook page, “Do you look forward to retiring? Why or why not?” Quickly there were over 60 comments, and two distinct sides. The comments were all valuable enough that I changed my format and instead of having one of my regular co-hosts with me, I’m going to read through a majority of the comments, then simply pose some questions to you...and leave you to ponder your own perspective and desire. This will be an interesting show. And as it’s relevant to so many, I’d ask you to share it with others who you feel it would be of value to. Learn more about your ad choices.

This is our Habits show, where we walk through the seven spokes of the Ziglar Wheel of Life, and this time we get to do it with Rick Hanson, our guest in show 647, where we talked about Resilience and Hardwiring Happiness.

Do you see it coming?! In this show I harken back to show 643 with Carey Nieuwhof where we discussed his message, “Didn’t See It Coming”, Overcoming the 7 Greatest Challenges That No One Expects and Everyone Experiences. We got a lot of great feedback on that show, and realized that half the battle, or more, is simply becoming aware! Thus the title of his message, “Didn’t see it coming.” So I wanted to hear from you, your real life stories. So I asked this question on Facebook:From the list below, which area, that everyone experiences to a degree, do you feel is most challenging for you, and why?And this is the list of the 7 greatest challenges from Carey’s book:CynicismCompromiseDisconnectionIrrelevancePride and NarcissismEmptinessBurnoutThe responses were incredibly candid, and while diverse...overlapping. Michelle Prince joined me to talk through as many of the comments as we could. We were touched and inspired.

Do you want to be happy, joyful, at peace? I can’t imagine anyone would say no. But as a human we generally look to our circumstances to provide these things. Something else is being...resilient...meaning ‘able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions’? So in this show we get to what I’m tempted to label a root issue of our personal performance, but that doesn’t feel like it does us justice. It’s Our very selves, our joy, our peace, our very lives. Rick Hanson is a psychologist whose focus is neuroscience. He wrote the book “Hardwiring Happiness” that my business partner who is an MD, said I MUST read. I went to buy the book and saw he had a new book, “Resilient” - How To Grow An Unshakable Core Of Calm, Strength, and HappinessNow folks, this isn’t about merely “feeling good”. You can get a temporary feel good from many things, as i mentioned before...circumstances. But We’re talking the foundation of ourselves. Being Calm in any situation, strong overall, and having true, enduring happiness. Those are not easy things to attain, and few truly have. All you strive for, every day, is for an ultimate goal. What is it? To be miserable, or happy and joyful? To be stressed out and worried, or at peace? So this is not theory, it comes from Rick’s research. It is an eye-opening, profound conversation. Quick background on Rick Hanson, he’s a Ph.D., a psychologist, Senior Fellow of the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, and New York Times best-selling author. His books are available in 28 languages and include Resilient, Hardwiring Happiness, Buddha’s Brain, Just One Thing, and Mother Nurture.He’s founder of the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom. In 2016 he gave a keynote address at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association.You can find Rick’s books at.rickhanson.net/ , but if you are as intrigued by what you hear as I believe you will be, I encourage you to go to thefoundationsofwellbeing.com/ where you can literally engage with Rick’s methodology and neuroscience.
