All Effect has a Cause. Every circumstance we face in our lives has an internal point of origin. Not only search for the cause, but find it. There are many reasons why for more that we want to find answers, we just don't see them. Well, if you feel in some way related consider this:

"I am Avoiding" Usually we blame someone else for our results. Have you ever considered that your pain, no satisfaction, uncertainty in your life and your results has nothing to do with no one except yourself? It's hard to even think about it! I know! But I tell you this: Pay attention to your reactions. Something has not healed yet if your reactions are strong and out of control. Meditate on what that could mean to you.

8 Communication Mistakes Trainers Make

Posted by Saritza Zambrana Burgos in Untagged

Being talented is a great responsibility as well having a big vision.  When we are rookies as leaders, it’s normal to misplace our purpose and get distracted with the empowering tools of leadership.  To build our leadership is to build our presence and calibrate our talents and ways of beings so we can be effective on the way.  In time we get awareness and wisdom. 
There are so many details that we may focus on about leadership.  This time, I just want to focus on those communication mistakes that usually happen on the way to great leadership.
The thing about communication is that it doesn’t happen while we speak.  It happens ALL THE TIME.  You see, communication is the mirror of our minds.  It means that doesn’t matter who you say you are, everything you wear in your heart is completely visible through your communication and personal message. 
Let me give you some common communication mistakes that leaders do (especially when they are distracted) take a look!
  • Lack of Presence:  Weak voice, projection, self-presentation, image. Poor influence, misrepresent a roll model.  There is no congruence between “Being and Doing”.
  • Lack of Clarity:  Gives away information that hasn’t fully understood.  Provide flat information, too quick, too slow or superficial.  Vague, repetitive, boring.
  • Weak listener:  Make more corrections that questions that creates discovery opportunities.  Focus on circumstances and not on the come from to be assertive.
  • Lack of Connection: Ignores what is said, invalidates the audience, critical, judge-mental, inappropriate comments or humor, vague responses, disrespectful, insensitive, no compassion, reactive, tricky, convincing.
  • Disrupts interaction flow:  lack of timing, pushes moods, inattentive and easily distracted. Can’t help to interrupt to give an opinion or point of view. 
  • Poor Speaker:  Fail to create clear context, to identify audience’s strengths and vulnerable points, vague transitions, unsustainable content.  Unaware of people’s reactions.  Uses jargon or non-specific language. 
  • Wrong Focus:  Symptoms, past or future oriented vs. cause and present oriented.  Lecturing vs. vivid practice.  Gathering evidence vs. promote possibilities.
  • Ineffective Style: When is being a distraction more that a roll model.  Heavy breathing, annoying voice (too loud, overpowering, too nasal) overacting, whiny, sugar sweet, talks more that listens.
Knowing ourselves make us strong and assertive.  Stop learning is stopping growing. Take a moment to realize if there something you need to work on.  If you are finding something on that list that applies to you in any way, please do yourself a favor and go deeper healing the cause. 
If you already overcome all the above, just keep in mind of being effective at home as much as the front of the room.  That’s what legacy leadership it’s all about!  So, walk the talk and have fun while your heart transforms every life you touch on the way.

The Blessing of Your Own Company

Posted by Saritza Zambrana Burgos in Life Purpose

I do love good company! How about you? Isn't amazing to share spontaneously who we are, what we love to do, to create or to talk about. To have a presence that sends a genuine message of truth and authenticity. It takes a lot of heart and love to take a stand and be consistent in our lives. The current is very strong outside. There are people that take a vote of silence and inner peace out of the outside noises, and master their capacity to silence their inner voices. In order to achieve this goal they go to magical retirement places and do what they do. Meditate, rest peacefully, and contribute in many ways working in soul matters. Other people, simply don't have enough resources or their lifestyle is complicated and do not have tools and the courage to manage a decision that implicate free peaceful time for themselves. Some people feel being selfish if they ever do this. Having so much to do and having so many people that depend on them. Can you relate to that in any way?

I have met many amazing people and every one of them so accomplished in peaceful and happy lifestyle. And every one of them has done it in different ways. Even when they disagree on the way it "should be done", still there is a common ground: Acceptance and outrageous self love. How powerful! What could be possible for you that very moment when you take full responsibility of everything in your life? Uff! Mayor words, right? But seriously, think about it! Having nothing more to hide or pretend anymore. What could be possible if you live knowing that the biggest love in your life if especially for yourself? And that you deserve it! I am telling you right now, you do this for yourself and many doors will open for you.

Step Up in Possibility!

"Usually the easy way is the mediocre way" - Donald Trump.  And it is true! Now, the easy option is not the same that the simple one. There is a big amount of deep challenges that don't aloud us to stay in the comfort zone or only touch the surface when we are choosing "stay simple". Actually, the stage of making things simple is where people complicate everything!

Being simple is being wise. We dive into the deep places of our consciousness. It takes to look within ourselves, take simple action full of purpose to deal with our inner fears, inner conversations, expectations, assumptions etc. To choose "the easy way" is to choose superficially, is to be choosing shortcuts. And as we know, there are no shortcuts in leadership! Usually comes from avoidance, hurry, unconsciousness, which makes always results mediocre. A master leader knows how to expand his/her mind in possibility, auto-monitor and create out of nothing, stay in the present and focus all energy to explore and reach options to make things happen.
