Hi Martin,

I hope you had a good weekend relaxing. It was great chatting with you on Friday. 
You have put a lot of hard work into where you are at right now.

I know this picture is difficult to read. I thought it would be easier for you to read my notes below, but refer to the picture above if need be.

We talked about many things. I will (inadequately) try to explain my diagram. This is why pictures speak a thousand words!

Your Core Leadership Traits:
These I listed as:
- High reflection
- Openness and willing to try
- Look to core issues 
- Strong people insight
- You deal with conflict (..... don't let it go)
- Integrity

Through embracing your difficulties you've now managed to refine these core leadership traits. We see them working for you as the momentum builds:
Building Trust
- Giving responsibilities (let them drive their core beliefs)
- Appreciating (point how they fit into the bigger picture)
- Thanked them (grateful leadership... which is one of the most successful)
---- Enables me to breakaway
--------Your leadership style spreads:

• Inclusivity
• Open to conflict and using it for innovation (conflict turns to gold)
• We're proud of what we do

Conflict

1. I noted when we first spoke, you tend to handle conflict well, you never tried to veer away from it. You gave me many examples of where you'd even take it on behalf of your team if there was an angry home-owner. However, during our last discussion, it appeared you were more comfortable dealing with conflict: not absorbing it, but dealing with it. This naturally let the energy associated with it deflect off you.
   
2. We talked about the first tell-tale signs of when the pressure is not working for you. This was where you noted anger started to seep in as you felt a tinge of loss of control...Anger = loss of control                                                                               "I haven't had control so I got angry"
3. The top two drawings refer to this. Where before your strong people insight lead you to understand and absorb the energy of others, now you're able to still seek and understand others, but not absorb their difficulties. As we discussed you're thriving because you're now accepting of your own abilities as "good enough". This hold on you, now released means there is no longer a need for you to control everything. As you stated, "this enables me to breakaway" to do other things and allow my team to make their own achievements, which we can then all be proud of.
   

Hi Martin,

Welcome to your own space!

This is a time for you to reflect and grow. I think we did a significant amount of good during our last session. Please use this space to jot down your thoughts. You'd be surprised what you can learn from collating your thoughts.

Feel free to note anything unusual or anything you feel important. As you're navigating to your best self, don't forget to note each moment of joy. These will become more and more important to you.

I will send you an audio file on Friday for you to listen to over the weekend and the remaining week until we meet again.
 
Enjoy creating!
