In the Cheetah Mastermind process, the very first activity the group does is create a vision board for their dreams. It’s a fascinating group process to participate in as while they are creating their boards with the others in their group, they start to share stories with each other of what their pictures mean to them. It is these stories as much as the pictures that help them create the epic adventures of their lives.
Think about the stories you tell about yourself. Where are you showing up in life as you really are? How are the stories different there than in the places where you feel in some way you haven’t fully measured up to what you wanted to be? For me, this was my life as an Aerospace Engineer. While it was impressive to the outside world that I was an Aerospace Engineer, in my inner world, I was wondering, “Is this all there is?” My happiest days as an Aerospace Engineer were when I was doing a presentation. When they needed someone in the group to volunteer to do the mandatory office quality training, I happily volunteered. I also gladly volunteered to do recruiting for the company and any type of outreach where I got to talk about the business of Aerospace Engineering. When I was in these roles, I easily was able to tell stories of how the experiences would go for me – I could see myself excelling. We all have this inner hero in us. This is what people learn how to bring out in the Cheetah Certified Project Manager program – how they want their inner hero to show up in the world.
Where and how have you let your inner hero show up to create the epic adventure of your life recently? Share your story on the Cheetah Learning FB page – http://tinyurl.com/lvy6xxy
