Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay. Hello! Hello.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): my wonderful embodieres.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): so excited to share this month's training with you and just to kind of give us a little bit of an overview of where we're at.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): We? This is November, and we're in the second month of our quarter.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): you know. Embody is divided into quarters right? And so we kicked off the second quarter in October, and the overarching topic of this quarter of A for October, November. December is going deeper with your visioning skills
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and then applying those visioning skills for you personally to transform
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): your visibility right? And how you're showing up for your visibility. So that's the topic of these 3 months. Visioning and visibility increased visibility
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to go deeper with those visioning skills for your clients. more visibility for you
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): at the Quarterly Live Retreat last month in October. We kicked it all off by looking at
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): how to vision. Right? We kind of went back into the visioning skills that we learned in sacred depths. We went much deeper into them. We looked at them through the lens of the 4 levels of learning and processing, making it a a fuller experience to vision.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then for you specifically for your inner work. We looked at also how to use visioning skills to breathe life
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and excitement and inspiration and motivation
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): into your visibility efforts
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): into your bigger goals and into your smaller goals. Right? And we looked at also, just in general, how to use visioning for bigger goals as well as to create inspiration for smaller goals.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And one of the things that
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we came to, and hopefully that you really took for
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): yourself
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): is that
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we can work with our visibility, fears in lots of different ways, right? Some of the more obvious ways are to work with
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): the befriend your fear or rewiring techniques.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): But that being said, we can also work with our visibility, fears, or our motivation obstacles
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): in a different way, through visioning, through making the desire and the motivation and the inspiration bigger than the fear, or at least as big as the fear, right? So that you choose the action anyway.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Now, before we go any further, this is an important reminder. You've heard me say this a number of times over the months. But it's important to to say again, the reason that this program is called embody is because
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): the way that you create change and transformation isn't just by knowing right. It's not just by understanding cognitively.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): In order to create change and transformation.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): you also need to own inside of you
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and to embody so on a practical level. What that means is that when it comes to your coaching skills, the skills that you bring to your clients
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): embodying means practicing those skills.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So I hope that this quarter you're practicing your visioning skills so that you can embody them more deeply in your client work
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): when it comes to your own inner work and changing your habits or moving beyond obstacles.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): In that context, embodying means consistently using the skills and the techniques that we're covering for your cell.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So if you want
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): the change on the inner level, I hope that this quarter you're maybe using the visioning of small steps to help move you forward in your visibility. Or maybe you're still working the rewiring skills from last quarter. That's great.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): whatever it is. Do it consistently that leads to the embodying
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): also business growth, right? And with with business growth embodying means consistently taking the actions that you know you need to take in your business. So, for example, last month we looked at
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): how to infuse all of the principles envisioning into your marketing right?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Embody that work on consistently bringing vision into your marketing, into your emails, into your social media, into your sales, pages into your sales, calls.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): etc. Right? So
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we've got 2 months, almost 2 months left on the year and on this quarter of the program, and those 7 weeks, whatever it is, can count big time for your coaching skills for your inner work and overcoming locks and for your business growth. So what would it look like
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to decide to get serious. even more serious
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): about embodying some of these things for yourself, practicing these things, coming back to them
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): consistently.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay, that was my little pep talk for continuing to do the work. In between our sessions.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Now, in this overarching quarter of visioning and visibility for this month for our training today, we're gonna get into one of the really powerful details of visioning skills
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): which is activating our ability to take risks.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we're gonna be looking at
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): activating ability to take risks so that you can bring that to your clients. And then because this quarter we're also looking at at visibility for you. Right? We're also going to be looking at
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): how to activate our ability to take risks when it comes to business visibility
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and just cause. I have a sense. This will be helpful. I wanna show this to you. Let me share my screen for a moment. I showed this at our quarterly retreat, and I know
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Some of you appreciated it.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So this is the porter that we're in of embody
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): In October we had our live, quarterly retreat, where we looked at befriending visibility fears not through a befriend. Your fear technique right? But through visioning right, as I said earlier, making the desire, the inspiration, the motivation.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): as at least as big as the fear and letting that carry you, and also bringing the vision to, not just the the big goals, but to each small step right? Creating a vision for that next newsletter, and then getting so inspired about that next newsletter that that carries you to actually
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): write the newsletter right this month. As I said, we're gonna be looking at risk taking
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that's what this training
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): is about. And then next month we're going to look at another aspect of visioning, identifying and leveraging your resources and your values.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Of course you'll have. You have every month opportunity in the teal. Here you have opportunity with inball to practice all of the skills that we're learning and to go deeper into them for yourself.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So that being said.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): let's talk about risks. And let's start here.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What is the risk.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What does even mean?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Right? So when I was preparing for this call, I decided to look up in Miriam Webster what the definition of risk is. And there were, I don't know. There were 6 or 7 different
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): definitions, but the top one, the one at the top of the list was this quote
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): a situation involving exposure to danger. That was the top definition of risk.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And I want to be clear.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): A situation involving exposure to danger is not what we're talking about
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): here.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): It's not what we want to go for. When we vision envision some risky things right? I don't want you to increase your exposure
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to danger.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): But the reason why I'm mentioning it here is because I found this really interesting, because I think
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that this is at the root of why most people want to avoid taking risks
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): right? We obviously don't want to put ourselves in danger.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So I like the second definition in Merriam-webster's for risk much better for our purposes. And that definition was, quote
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): a risk is the possibility.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): not the foregone conclusion, the possibility that something unpleasant
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): will happen. You might be thinking. Well, Joanna, that doesn't sound too much better than danger. The possibility that something unpleasant is gonna happen. But here's what I want to share with you and check it out to see if this feels like truth for yourself.
We have to be willing
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to take actions
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that holds the possibility that something unpleasant is gonna happen.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): In other words, we have to be willing to take risk.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Not always. We don't want to take risks all day long every day, right.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): but we do
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): need to do it sometimes.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): because without taking actions that have the possibility that something unpleasant might happen.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): it is a very, very difficult to grow
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and to achieve our goals.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So let me give you some examples on this.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): If you really want to be in an amazing romantic relationship.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): you have to be willing to go on a first date.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): even though there's a risk of something unpleasant happening on a first date, like getting rejected, or having the worst time ever. Right.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Here's another example. If you really want to raise your rates for your work.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): you must be willing to share your new rates with your prospects. Right?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): But that's risky, right? Because there's a risk that something unpleasant might happen there. Your prospects might say no to your services, or they might even question you about, how can you raise your rates? Right? That might be unpleasant.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): One more example. If you really want your friend to stop taking advantage of you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): You need to be willing to tell them that you're not going to lend them any more money. even though
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that conversation in that conversation there's a risk of something unpleasant, right? They might get angry at you or tell you that they don't want to be friends with you
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): anymore. There is
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): always something to risk, and often something unpleasant, right? And we need to be willing to risk
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): in order to get or achieve
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): what we want
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): period.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And so
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): when we're visioning for ourselves or when we're supporting our clients to vision, whether it's a big, long-term vision or smaller action step
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): vis.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): some of that vision needs to include risks.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): But back to those 2 different definitions from Miriam Webster. there's a difference between having an unpleasant feeling or something being unpleasant
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and true danger.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And this is similar to another thing that we learned in sacred depth. In another module, the difference between discomfort and pain. Right? I see an unpleasant experience similar to discomfort and danger, similar to pain. And
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): if you remember, from sacred depths or just from other teachings of mine. you know one thing that I often say is that
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we have to be willing
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to lead our clients into discomfort in order for them to grow and to create what we want what they want. Right?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Same goes for us.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): We have to be willing to get uncomfortable
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): in order to grow.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): We don't wanna go into the danger zone. We don't wanna go into the pain zone right? But we need to separate those 2. A lot of people conflate
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): discomfort and pain, which is why, they're not willing to be uncomfortable because they're scared. It's gonna be painful.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Similarly, a lot of people complain, conflate
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and feeling unpleasant with true danger. Right? So part of our work for ourselves and part of our our work with our clients is to untangle that conflation so that people can see them as separate
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and hopefully be willing to lean into unpleasant, IE. Risk right and discomfort.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): let me pause here for a moment, and let me ask you, and jot this down, and if you want you can. You know, pause on the recording. If you want to do a little more journaling on this, which I recommend?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): what's your relationship to risk? What's your relationship to risk? What do you think about risk? How do you feel about risk?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): How much are you willing to take risks in your life? Pick a moment with that
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): again pause. The recording. To do so.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Now
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): remember.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): looking at our relationship to risk
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): is important, not just for us personally, so that we can take these risks to become more visible or to create whatever we want in our lives.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): But understanding our relationship to risk creating a more aligned relationship to risk
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): is also crucial in our roles as coaches, therapists, practitioners. because energy follows energy right? So if we, as practitioners are risk averse.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we're gonna bring that into our client containers, and we're gonna get nervous for our clients to take risks and maybe even stop them from taking risks, or when we go to vision with them, we're not visioning out any risks. But again, as we said earlier, some risks are necessary for growth and achievement. Right?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay, let me ask you another question. And again, at any point you can stop this recording as you're writing down answers.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): what are 2 to 3 examples of risks that you have taken
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): when it comes to visibility? So what are some of the visibility risks that you've already taken in your work. I'll share with you some of mine.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): The first time, and the second and the third. It all felt like risk actually, that I invited, and it still does that I invited
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): people to come to a preview event and give a live testimonial
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): in the preview event that felt really risky to me.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): The first couple of times that I wrote
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): very strongly around, dispelling certain myths in the transformational industry, calling out certain practices
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): in the transformational industry.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Those were risks. And right. Those are specific. That was like visibility action taken
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): whenever I run ads on Facebook, which I do to create more visibility. It feels risky to me, right? There is a possible unpleasant
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): thing that could happen, which is that people I get haters and criticizers, and all of that right? So what are 2 or 3 examples
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): of risks that you've taken when it comes to visibility?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And here's another question
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): for whatever those risks are that you just noted that you took?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What are some of the unpleasant possibilities
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that you were willing to endure for each of those risks.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What are some of the unpleasant possibilities
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that you were willing to endure for each of those risks?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So, for example.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): II said, you know with the ads. The unpleasant possibility that I was willing to endure were haters right? Same with the dispelling myths about the transformational industry
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): with the live testimonials in my preview classes some of the unpleasant possibilities that I was willing to endure to do that was
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): clients saying no to me if I ask them to give live testimonials that feels really unpleasant to me, or people in the room listening and just thinking I was. I'm too salesy by having live events that feels really unpleasant to me right, but I was willing to endure it. I did it
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): so for you. The risks that you have taken when it comes to visibility.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What are some of the unpleasant possibilities that you were willing to endure for each of those risks?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay, again, you can pause the recording at any time. But I'm going to keep on going with a couple more questions. Next thing I want to invite you to think about. no matter if those risks that you took
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): turned out the way that you wanted or not.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): because sometimes the unpleasant thing does happen right.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): the possibility. So no matter
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): if the risks turned out the way you want it or not.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Why was
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): taking those risks
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): an enduring unpleasantness important for you?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Why was taking those risks
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and enduring unpleasantness. Important for you.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay, I'm gonna keep on going.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Just a few more questions.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Think about where you're at now in your work.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What are currently some visibility actions that you would like to consider taking where there's a risk involved.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Right? So what are some things you would like to do that maybe you're not doing yet when it comes to visibility. where there's a risk involved.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Maybe it is raising your rates. Maybe it is starting to send more emails. post more on social media
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): do videos, share a certain thing
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): about yourself. make more asks.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then, whatever those risky visibility actions are.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): what
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): is possibly unpleasant about those things.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Let's just name it what's possibly unpleasant.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And, by the way, if you feel called and I would personally appreciate this so much
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): before you continue with the video with this training video.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): take a moment right now.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): think about what's feeling important for you so far
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): for you personally, for your client work.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What are you seeing so far? And this is the favor to me. Part post about it in our embody Facebook group
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): share. I would love to know what's coming up for you. So far, you know, I'm a relational person. It's actually a risk for me to do these training videos where I don't actually have people in front of me because I get so much of my
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): energy and like the depth of my teaching when I can work off of other people when I can hear what's resonating, etc. So
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I would love to hear in the Facebook group so far, what are you seeing?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And also the other reason why it's a favor for me is it will help other people in the in the circle. Learn from your share.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay? So hopefully.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): you paused to the video you went and posted in the Facebook group so far on what you're seeing and learning what's feeling important.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And now this brings us
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to one of the exercises that we learned in sacred depths when we were in our visioning module that I want to go into again, and a little bit more deeply here today.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): It's a visioning exercise that can be a very effective way of calling upon your inner risk taker
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): activating the inner risk taker, so that the inner risk taker can do its own important work right? Help you take risks so that you can move forward
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): on the important things, and you might remember this exercise. It's called Stretch risk or die.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): One of the first
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): coaching exercises actually, that I ever learned. I read about it in a Cheryl Richardson book. I need to get the title of that book so that I can let people know.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): But anyway, I originally learned this from Cheryl Richardson.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): my understanding of this exercise stretch risk or die
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): is that it is a way of
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): leading encouraging clients into a little bit of discomfort into being willing to endure unpleasantness or discomfort so that they can get what they want.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And it's a pretty simple exercise. You know, when you're talking about a certain action staff or a goal or a vision and you sense that your client
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): could be a little Edgier, that they're not really planning on taking the risks that will get them to where they want to go.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): You can ask them. They can either draw this out in columns, or you can just talk them through this.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): You ask them what would be a stretch scenario here?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): What would be a risk? Scenario here? And what would be a I would rather die
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): then do that scenario here right? And
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I love one of the reasons why I love this exercise is because it really on a cognitive level. It helps someone see.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Oh, you know what I can actually take
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): this stretch action or this risk action, because they're actually not as dangerous as I was thinking they would be. The real danger is in that. I would rather die than do that zone. I'm not going to do that thing. But I can actually take these risks and stretches.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Stretch is like, oh, feels stretchy. To do that right. Risk is, feels like there's a risk there, right? Something unpleasant could happen.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then again, the die is, I'd rather die. So let me give you some examples of this.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Let's say you're working with a client, and you are visioning out with them
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): long-term goal of attracting an aligned romantic partner. Right? They really want a romantic partner who is alive.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and you're looking at how to get there. And
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): it comes up as you're looking at this.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): that they're in a running club, and there's someone in their running club that they have a crush on. but they haven't been making any moves at all. It's too risky, right, too dangerous.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So you can explain to them. First, do a little consulting on the difference between a stretch, a wrist, and a die.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and then ask them to name
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): an action. Step in each of those 3 categories. Right? And so maybe your client says, well, the little stretch would be that next time I'm at Running Club, and I see that my crush is talking to one of my friends.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I can join in the conversation that feels stretchy to me great.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So then you move on to risk what would be a risk here.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and maybe your client comes up with. Well, something that would feel risky is. I just go up next time I'm at Running Club. When I see that my crush is all alone.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I march up to them and I strike up of a conversation.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then maybe that I'd rather die than do this right? This is like more than unpleasant like it feels dangerous is
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I'm gonna just go ask that person out on a date, right?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So help your client assess the stretch the risk the die.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and ask, then ask them
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): if they'd be willing to take the stretch
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and or risk actions
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): right? Ask them if they'd be willing. Hopefully at that point they're seeing.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): it's not so bad. It's just a little bit of unpleasantness right? And you can ask them like, I've been asking you in this training session, what are the unpleasant possibilities? Right? Do you think you can endure them, etc., etc.,
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and you can negotiate with them on that for them to like vision and strategize what their next step is.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I'll give you one more example.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Let's say you've got a client who wants to or maybe this is even you. You wanna have more sales calls right? You wanna drum up more prospects and have more sales conversations.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): But you haven't been doing anything to make that happen
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): because it feels too risky. Right?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So if you do this exercise. Maybe you find out, for example, that the stretch for you action stretch here is
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to post on social media that you have some spots available for enrollment conversations and invite people to it.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Obviously you'd write more than that. But you know what I mean. Maybe the risk action for you around drumming up some sales. Conversations is
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): personal outreach.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): you know, a bunch of different people who would be good fits
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): feels risky to reach out to them individually. That's the risk.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then maybe the I'd rather die than do that as an example is to ask
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): people for referrals. Maybe you know, for you or your clients specifically, that's what feels like the die like. I could never. That feels dangerous. That's beyond unpleasant.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): To ask people for referrals
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): hopefully. That's not what the I'd rather dive and do that is, but if it is, we need to honor that when we're working with ourselves, with our clients, right? We can work tools like, befriend your fear on that one, etc., etc. But even as we're working that
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): start taking action on the stretches and the risks.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Even if just to start to build inner resilience on risk taking
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): okay.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): so my next assignment for you and you can pause the recording to do this
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): is to think about. Go back to the visibility action that you want to be taking right now
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and make a stretch, risk or die chart for it. Right? What would the stretch version of that action be? What would the risk version of that action be? And what would the I'd rather die than do this version of that action be.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then my invitation to you
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): is to commit to taking either the stretch or risk actions or both.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay?
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So again, we have one more little piece of work for this training call. And but if you want to go ahead and pause the recording and chart that out for yourself. Now is the time.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Okay? So there's one more piece. Now, when we're working with clients on this.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): we can
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): just end where we ended right stretch rich skirt die.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): They pick what action they want to take.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): That's all good to go.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): By the way.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): I just wanna toss in there
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): the stretch risk or die. We can do either preemptively when we're visioning.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): or we can also use that exercise
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): when someone hasn't taken action on something to help them see that it's not as dangerous as they may have thought it was right.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): but anyway, we can end it there, and that might be enough.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): However.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): if we want to bring
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): more levels of learning and processing
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): into
this process
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): of activating the risk Taker.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): then the next step on this would be to do either a long or a short
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): somatic process
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to connect in with the archetype of the aligned inner risk taker.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): to really build that one up energetically, semantically. and to receive wisdom from the aligned inner risk taker
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): right on the the stretch and risk action.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So I'm going to demo that right now.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): And then we'll talk about some ending pieces after that, Demo.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): So
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): if it's comfortable for you. close your eyes.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and if it's comfortable for you. If you know it's better for you to keep your eyes open. Keep them open
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and allow yourself to go inward.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Take a few moments to come back home to yourself
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): and your body.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Notice how your toes feel from the inside.
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): Right now
Joanna Lindenbaum (she/her): notice how your ankles feel from the inside your knees.
