Racial Identity Development

2/22/2021

As you know we are geeks for the variety of intelligences that humans embody. Intelligence represents our human capacity. There are many forms that intelligence can take. When we coach to all of human capacities, we call this Integrative Intelligence®.

Integrative Intelligence® is also how we fully develop our capacities. This week I've included a resource that gives an overview of how we develop our identity racially. I felt looking at identity and race through the lens of development to be an important consideration in this day and age. We are evolving our sense and understanding of race.

This resource is brought to you by Ashley La Russa. Enjoy!

Multi-mis-tasking

2/15/2021

We've all done it. A zoom call gets boring for a moment and you drift seamlessly into no-mans land or start working on the grocery list.

Every coach I've talked to has experienced a tele-session where you can hear your client on the phone working on the dishes or prepping for dinner in an attempt to cut corners.

Or worse. This topic brings me back to high-school. Sitting in class, daydreaming and then ... "Laurel. What are your thoughts on this?" Beet red. I didn't hear the topic fully. Heart-sink.

The question becomes: When we are not fully present, can we receive the presents within that moment?

I tell my clients and students to "gift yourself" by being present. I know it is not always easy. I was diagnosed with ADD at a young age. I had to teach myself the art of full presence.

Today's resources take a closer look at the myth of multi-tasking and how to stay present in the day and age of zooming your day away.

Multitasking During Zoom Meetings?
by Stephanie Vozza of FastCompany

"We’ve all heard that multitasking is bad and switching between activities makes it harder to complete them. But let’s be honest—many of us multitask during Zoom meetings, especially as we enter the 10th month of working remotely and our Zoom fatigue has worsened. But checking email or making a grocery list can have a negative ripple effect you may not realize, says Dave Crenshaw, author of The Myth of Multitasking: How “Doing It All” Gets Nothing Done.

“Switching between tasks can have four effects,” he says. “Things take longer. You are prone to making more mistakes. It increases stress levels. And you can damage relationships.”

The Super Power Within You

In challenging times many times the first thing to go is patience. As stress levels are higher than average during Covid, politics, and social distancing, there is a simple solution we can apply that helps us rise above.

This is self-talk. Self-talk can make or break your day, your timing, your activity levels and beyond. Today is a reminder that we have choice and we can engage a more compassionate voice.

As we are compassionate with ourselves, the compassion for others becomes more accessible.

Enjoy!

Be Kinder to Yourself
by Alice Boyes, Harvard Business Review

"Talking to yourself with self-compassion will help you deal with a raft of challenging situations, including those you experience personally and those you need to help your employees or kids through. To use it effectively, follow these practices to build specific, personalized habits of self-compassionate talk: give yourself a gentle and supportive nudge by asking yourself what you need in the moment; use irreverence to challenge your beliefs; reframe a trait or tendency to take a more balanced view; identify your patterns of self-sabotage; borrow language from friends, quotes, or proverbs; and write scripts for common scenarios."
