Capacity Talk
Grow in Awareness
Develop Abilities
Making the right choices
Awareness + Abilities + Choices = Capacity
Awareness:
- Most exciting because it may be the most ignored and most opportunity for growth.
- "What's it like to be on the other side of me?"
- Each of us are limited by our inability to be aware of our lack of awareness
- "Exchange Event" 10k for a 3 day experience...something to consider down the road
- People give up because they can't keep up.
- Each strength has a diminishing area
- We can not reach our capacity if we only focus on our strengths, we need to be aware of our dismissing area, or our weakness.
Healthy Assumptions:
1) We don't see ourselves as others see us
2) We have blind spots that keep us from our capacity
3) Others who know us and love us can help us
4) We have to give those who love us, permission to help us
Caps on our Capacity:
- not problems, those are things we can fix
- sometimes the cap is placed upon us by someone else (something said)
- sometimes the cap is something I do to me (impressing people)
- EQUIPing and Counseling are two different things - EQUIPing works on strengths and Counseling works on weaknesses
- Increasing awareness requires us to surround ourselves with people that will be honest, because we will always over estimate ourselves and usually hang on too long.
