Great post – sort of sad I missed out on this Boot Camp, sounds like a good mixture of information.

Of course this is my favorite post…on Communications, on operating from a sense of purpose and from your “Why”.

Sort of interesting to see Clare Graves’ work used here – I’m very familiar with his spiral dynamics model. And while I think it’s entirely useful to know this information cognitively, here’s the part I find most interesting (per Simon Sinek’s research and some of Seth Godin’s):

That part of your brain that most resonates with the “Spiritual Filter”, the “Why”, if you will, is not directly responsible for language. So this means it’s nearly impossible to accurately describe these aspects. How do you describe falling in love? The feeling of passion? It’s tough. This makes our jobs as communicators challenging and even more important to operate from “Why” because the old adage rings true: actions speak louder than words. Especially when it comes to authenticity and purpose.

Thanks for a great post series!

yes, I was shocked to learn recently of Simon Simonek’s work. looks like he has started to dial in on some of the same ideas.

lord knows there’s room for all of us.

cheers,
