“When people come to work, it’s important that they be connected to a dream.”

- Bill Gates, Fortune, 1/26/04, p. 124

Two Kinds of Life’s Dreams

2424

LD externalWhat you wanted to be

or do.Externally measuredAchievement based“Success”

LD internalHow you felt at your

best.Internally measuredExperience based“Success”

Your internal Life’s Dream (LDint)

2525

Is not a “goal” which is a “false dream” Is a connection between resonance

producing activities and the Feelings that come at the peak

Goals vs “Experience” (feel)

2626

Much of the industrial era has focused on goal setting

Achievement orientation often drives our behavior at the expense of our emotional experience

Remember to remember how you feel is equally as important as what you do.

Focusing on Feel to PerformDave Scott

49, Six-time Ironman Hawaii Champion

“During a race, I never wear a wristwatch, and my bike doesn’t have a speedometer. They’re distractions.

All I work on is finding a rhythm that feels strong and sticking to it.”

Does how you feel affect your performance?

• How many times have you been asked by supervision at work how you want to feel?

• How do you WANT to feel?• The pervasive management assumption:

PWD WTHTD ROHTF

• This is a formula for mediocrity.

Revisiting the Dream

“Just mixing it up with the guys and being in the hunt is a rush, and I can’t wait to experience those feelings again.”

-- Tiger Woods, after three months rehab on his knee, Golf Digest, October 2008, p. 55

Examples of Feel …

Easy speed (Jeff Rouse) Playing to win at the highest

level (Dawn Staley) Out of my chest Being at one with my

surroundings Peaceful, satisfied, alive Buoyant, connected mastery Light, unhurried, and

engaged.

Be careful of the “achievement orientation”

People ask me, “How do you play so well?” I practiced, intense “shedding.” If you’re willing to put in the time, you can do it to a certain level. Maybe I have a special talent that is intangible, but if you are willing to put in the time, you can really get it together.”

The Relationship between Dream and Preparation: Vijay Singh, pro golfer

“Confidence doesn’t come from winning. Winning comes from confidence. And that confidence comes from hard work.”

- Vijay Singh, Golf Digest, “From the Gallery,” June 2005. Singh won nine tournaments in 2004, was ranked #1 in the world, and is known for his extraordinary practice regimen, hours and hours a day.

“Even to this day I get a thrill out of just hitting balls. Seeing the shot and then hitting the shot. If I can hit the ball the way I want to hit it on the range, I’d rather do that than play golf. I just love the feeling of hitting good golf shots.”

- Vijay Singh, Golf Digest, April 2008, page 188.

What do you enjoy enough that you can persist doing it just for the joy of doing it?

“I stopped loving golf at exactly the time I decided to turn pro.” - Tom Weiskopf , Golf, July 2004, p. 133

People pay me a lot of money to go away from my family, stay in cheap motels, ride on the bus all night, and eat rubber chicken. But when the curtain goes up and the light on the camera goes on, THAT I do for free.

We all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires and comets inside of us. We are all born able to sing to birds and read the clouds, and see our destiny in grains of sand.

4545

But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God’s sake. And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad about what they had allowed to wither in themselves.

4646

After you go so far away from it though, you can’t really get it back, just seconds of knowing and remembering. When people get weepy at movies, it’s because in that dark theater the golden pool of magic is touched just briefly. Then they come out into the hard sun of logic and reason again and it dries up, and they’re left feeling a little heavy, and they don’t know why.

4747

The truth of life is that each year we get a little further from the essence that is born with us. We get shouldered burdens, some of them good, some of them not so good. Things happen to us. Life itself does its best to take that memory of magic away from us. You don’t know it’s happening until one day you feel like you’ve lost something… and you’re not sure what it is. It’s like smiling at a pretty girl, and she calls you “sir.” It just happens.

From “Boy’s Life,” Robert MacCammon

“feel” and “goal” are not the same…

5555

…we still had a long way to go. Like ants getting over an enormous obstacle we climbed up without appearing to make any progress. The slope was very steep. . . The air was luminous, and the light was tinged with the most delicate blue. On the other side of the couloir, ridges of bare ice refracted the light like prisms and sparkled with rainbow hues. The weather was still set fine--not a single cloud--and the air was dry. I felt in splendid form and as if, somehow, I had found a perfect balance within myself--was this, I wondered, the essence of happiness.

Maurice Herzog, Annapurna, p. 166

So, we come back again to this question:

How do you want to feel?

5656

Resonance is a question of

harmony between inside and outside

5757

“I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance with our innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”

- Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth, 1988

"Excellence is attained by those who care more than others think is wise, who risk more than others think is safe, who dream more than others think is practical.“

Five Key Questions

5959

1. How do I wantto feel today?

2. What does it take to get that feeling?

3. What keeps me from that feeling?

4. How can Iget it back? RESONANCE

5. What are you

willing to work for?

THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

6060

Find Your Resonance Invest in Your Resonance Enjoy Your Resonance Help Others Find Their Resonance

Key Points …

6161

Pay attention to your internal Life’s Dream as well as your external Life’s Dream

Ask yourself, “if you’re not resonating, will you be performing at a world-class level?”

Pay attention to your experience along with your achieving.

It’s your life: what are you willing to work for? Ignore Task AND Process at the risk of your

enjoyment AND your performance

Implications for Managers

• Can you distinguish between LDext and LDint? • Can you identify your LDint?• Can you identify your team’s LDint?• Can you help people reconnect with their LDint?• What will the impact be on performance?
