G1 discussion about assignments #4
We realized that the best way to inspire other people is creating a blog.
So we had this good idea together, and this blog is the result.
Great moment girls!

Anna Frisch Case Study
What did we learn? Empowering with others is essential to get rid of obstacles. Anna Frisch was too much focus on her one plan, and forgot to talk to everybody and to involve all the stakeholders.
What surprised us? She had anticipatory vision for a problem that will affect all the company, but she can't implement their plan because she was too much Channel 1.
What do we want to remember? We should talk with everybody. People around us are different. If we forget this we can't have sucess.

G1 discussion about assignments #1 and #2
What did we learn?
- We realized that some of us felt really comfortable with the theme on the first classes, but others were suspicious and thought this would be another “bs” talk.
- At certain point all of us wondered if this idea is too simple and basic (with no content) or if it´s the opposite, it´s simple and profound.
- For some of us, there was a click, for others it was more like a struggle, a guttural thing that raised interior conflict.
- This idea affected our way of seeing our progression on our careers, we have to be good technically, but also something else… and at this point we asked ourselves if were ready to receive help, is allowed, isn´t that a weakness?
- To Be or not To Be. It´s not about what you are, is about how you deal with the situation, is the attitude that counts. It´s not about “good” or “bad” people, it´s not about “good” or “bad” situations, is deeper…
- It´s natural, maybe! Can we learn it? YES WE CAN! Depends on us, inside-out energy!
New questions!
- Some of us really feel as a channel 2 “natural”, but over time the aggressive company culture changed us! The aggressive behavior is more valuable in some companies, it makes you powerful and is a way of climbing up on the organization. We know the answer to this question! Not sustainable, it has too many negative consequences on you and the ones that are close to you.
- Will it last? We have experienced, but is this a part of who we are?
- How evolve, how to bring others to channel 2?

Monica Ashley Case Study
What did we learn?
“Hearts can’t be conquered with Reason” by Ana Miranda.It’s not enough to be right; you also have to get it right.
Monica made the WHAT part right but forgot about the HOW part. Although she had all the figures and data to defend her point she couldn’t implement her plan of action because she didn’t have an organizational conscience, ignoring different opinions and strange behaviors. She was blinded by her biases.We learned to have some awareness to people’s “How” situations. Being sensible to the people’s part.
What surprised us?
She wasn’t able to use her allies and she was even capable of losing the ones she had. How she lose it all with so little things.
What do we want to remember?
We don’t own the truth. We can always learn from others, as long as we are available.

Biases - “I’m going toward what I want or what I expect?”
It's incredible how our past experiences and expectations can disturb the reality perception. How much we can loose just because we can’t see the whole picture. As Jeannie said in class: “We are in a war against our rigid expectations”
How to deal with/agains that? Would you like to share your experiences?

A poem for a good start!
" We all fight wars. The most important one is the one with ourselves, With our expectations...with our Fears and Valves. Don’t leave Home until you’ve won this Battle. And don’t speak with no one else neither rattle.The problems are outside, but the solution is inside of you. And if you are not in peace with yourselves, nobody will help you. And you don’t hear your Want nor learn how to beat the Fear.
In Wars, we all lose. Even the ones who stay behind...in the Rear. Once won this War, you can leave your shelter. Explore and listen all the birds in the sky have to tell. And be aware, of every single bell, Be ready and feel precious to receive...even nothing, Don’t fear being feared cause Fear is the Anchor to Reality. Take off the Armour... cause it’s heavy and make you feel tired
Go alone... cause you don’t need your Army anymore
Depose all...your weapons. Go unarmed and...Fight with no Fear and no Words. Take only your Heart and the smile on your face. You’ll feel stronger and pleased to see. You have more results with less energy. Once you understand this, you’ll be prepared to be a ...LEADER"
