The Art Of Listening Versus The Act Of Listening

Listen to "The Art Of Listening Versus The Act Of Listening" on Spreaker. January 28, 2022 Is there a difference between the art of listening and the act of listening? Lord knows there are many people that act they’re listening but they’ve actually tuned out. Anytime you need a response they look like Bobble Heads saying, “Yup yup.” A national producer recently sent me a note thanking me for letting his people of fame guests have a voice. He said, “You have an art to listening.” Which is interesting because I’m totally guilty of being a Bobble Head. If there’s any secret to what I do it’s based on questioning their answers. I do that in full public view as well. The best conversations begin with interaction. It can’t be lopsided. Ever been in one those where you feel like the bottom of a deep dark valley floor and the one doing the talking is a higher than the clouds jagged mountain? In all things it’s gonna be about them. They usually mean no harm! We’re all guilty of stepping on that path as well. It’s called being heard. But is there an art to listening? When do you know it’s time to pull away from the other person’s stage? It’s probably when the pain in your neck gets worse because of Bobble Heading. A radio program director once said to me, “You only have the attention of a listener for seven seconds. Figure out what you’re going to do when you’ve been talking for eight, nine and now twenty seconds. Always put yourself in the shoes of a listener.”

The Daily Mess No Time To Talk

Listen to "The Daily Mess No Time To Talk" on Spreaker. January 27, 2022 Unmasking the real conversation requires a physical act of trust. Say that three times. Allow it to sink into your thinking process. Unmasking the real conversation requires a physical act of trust. How much time will go by before the availability of actuality is shows the open door? Too heavy? I shy away from circles of personal conversation. The fear of getting wrapped up in something that will challenge my or someone else’s trust. We gossip by way of comparing chapters. The internet has turned us into monsters. My father was very stern about where you are currently placed. If you’re caught up in a conversation talking about someone then what they saying about you? You know how it is! It’s been this way since elementary school. People don’t keep stories to themselves. It’ll either get back to the origin or the stories will fall into the wrong ears. The waves of negative energy start to tarnish the image and imagination. So I ask, “Is it safer to not unmask the real conversation or does it paint you as being standoffish and or uncaring? What if we agreed to disagree about finding no time to have the real conversation? That’s a choice that too many have already adopted. Choosing to be silent generates other stories. When a few gather to whisper and they keep looking at you. How about the coworker that can’t dropping the F bomb. People hear it and because you were there you said it too. Or being on the opposite end of a good ole fashioned finger pointing. He was with them when they said! Unmasking the real conversation requires a physical act of trust. What side of the fence do you stand?

Stream Thinking: Maybe It's The Food

Listen to "Stream Thinking Maybe It's The Food" on Spreaker. January 25, 2022 I’m not a representative of the world of medicine. I’m not a mental health professional. I experience through awareness. Being mindful. Living a path of mindfulness. Present. Learning how to locate inner peace in a place and age where mental health is finally being talked about. Globally there are a lot of people hurting. The stories we aren’t getting are those associated with how overcrowded the professional’s schedules are. It’s become a challenge for millions trying to get mental help. The answer seekers are receiving is the professional isn’t accepting new clients. So many commercials are promoting online connections for those in need. But you aren’t in the same place breathing each other’s air. Human contact is in short supply. With Zoom business burnout at an all-time high psychiatrists and psychotherapists are pushing pills and computer time. Those needing are forced into caring for themselves. Books of motivation, meditation and the Bible are calmers. They help calm the storms and inner voices. Fixing yourself should not be the answer. Talking about this current state of mental health, a shortage of professionals helps open the process. Don’t stop reaching out to doctors providing peace for your mind body and soul. One professional that needs to be recognized for his dedication and loyalty to real people is Dr. Ian Smith the author of the book Burn Melt Shred. He’s created a Facebook group specializing on free mental support. Plus he Zooms for free! I realize it’s not in the same face to face place where the scent of the air matters but it’s a walk in the right direction when seeking peace.

How You Did

Listen to "How You Did" on Spreaker. January 21, 2022 Heavy subject today. It’ll probably push 98% of you away. But it needs to be talked about. Julia Cameron’s new book Seeking Wisdom. In the opening chapter she invites readers to turn God into the way they want to see God. Love it! Or is that a judgement? Whatever it takes to help warm a chilly heart. Julia uses Adam and Eve as an example. I know in my childhood of eight years and younger that story was used by preachers to scare me into horrid nightmares. Yet, we truly didn’t see the other side of the love story. The opening of the eyes to a universal display of God art. The way Julia Cameron explains it is exactly how I discovered this author and teacher in July of 1994. I was living a hardcore very strict life of art with no room for viewing other methods of outreach. Once I began to study the wisdom inside The Artist’s Way the forbidden apple served more as an invitation to explore. Back to the original thought. Julia creates a path for you to see God as you want to see God. The creative spirit that drives me has stepped back to welcome not only your God but your neighbors, school teachers, Mayors, Governors and all others. Now we have a multi layered universe of God’s like Marvel and DC Comics. No judgement. Teach me your path. I’m always the listener first. A good friend sent a text yesterday, “Does suicide keep you out of Heaven?” My reply, “Ask the keeper of your Heaven. Hear what you want to know.” Maybe on a personal level you’re stumbling and can’t locate the proper puppet strings to get beyond this thing called the New Normal. I totally get it. Getting professional help these days is like scoring a chicken sandwich at Chic Fil-A. You’re gonna wait in a very very long line. Don’t stop reaching for professional listeners. They’re there! And so is the G guy which according to Julia Cameron will be in whatever shape you wish to paint.

You Don't Have To Know Everything

Listen to "You Don't Need To Know Everything" on Spreaker. January 20, 2022 There are layers in our hearts. Which always infects what we dream. What we can’t do is allow it to poison what we see. What they don’t tell you about living a mindful life is how difficult it is to stay in the present. Especially one that’s consumed with a pandemic, horrid politics and always bad weather. We get it! The heart must remain clear. Unlike ice we can’t throw salt onto it to break down the layers. Being mindful is awareness. Knowing how to stay truth filled without being taken over by the newer variants and senators that have vowed to protect a nation they are ripping apart. We can’t control our dreams. But we have full control of what we’re putting inside ourselves. My father always told me, “You don’t have to know everything.” Tell that to yourself over and over. Set down the smartphone you don’t have to know everything. Put away the news outlets you don’t have to know everything. There’s snow back in the forecast. We could get four inches. Can you control it? You don’t have to know everything. There are layers in our hearts. Which always infects what we dream. What we can’t do is allow it to poison what we see. You don’t have to know everything.

The Daily Mess Pushing Beyond The Binge Watch

Listen to "The Daily Mess Pushing Yourself Beyond Binge Watching" on Spreaker. January 19, 2022 A quote from Blackish on ABC, “It’s never gonna be easy when you’re in a league of your own.” This quote defines the presence of a leader versus a follower. Yet I do believe many who’ve chosen to follow are doing it because of a lack of confidence and or don’t want to carry the weight of so many high business expectations. How many people physically believe they’re in a league of their own? To be there. Can you stay there? What are the daily requirements? What happens if you admit to being a league of your own, does that label you conceited or confident? Cam Newton is in a league of his own. Being there means taking the verbal hits from fans and coaches. Always getting blamed for losing or making awkward passes. Pull the lens back. Millions of dollars are spent on coaches that make decisions. Not only that but Cam isn’t the only person on that playing field. Yet it’s always Cam’s fault. A league of their own. Those who are, are they teaching others how to sharpen their skills and craft? I call it the Yoda effect. Passing the experience forward. What if Yoda had said no to Luke Skywalker? The hardest part about being a league of your own isn’t recognizing it in others. It’s being loyal to the next one holding the ball.

The Daily Mess: It All Melts Away

Listen to "The Daily Mess It All Melts Away" on Spreaker. January 18, 2022 Snow and ice. It still remains. Nothing just disappears. Look at your life and all that’s challenged the path. All that once made the blizzard white canvas has slowly been replaced by what so many have left behind. The message is to look beyond. To face the moment of “Now” with a burning fire to touch an unwritten tomorrow. A great example. We couldn’t have gotten to this part of the conversation without the opening sentences. Snow and Ice. It still remains. Living in the past is never the answer but you can use the experience as tools. It’s what shapes right here right now. Know though, like the snow it will soon melt away. Maybe that’s the thing! We’re so guilty of locking in on what we love that when it melts away we step back rather than forward. Relationships are your greatest foundation. How many of us still talk with coworkers we assumed were our friends? The world moved forward and we’re stuck in the past wondering how and why the friendship was ghosted. All things melt away. What is your path in the aftermath?

Stream Thinking: Better Communicator

Listen to "Stream Thinking Better Communicator" on Spreaker. January 17, 2022 When words don’t want to fly. That’s what this is about. An exercise. To grow beyond being a bump on a log. We’ve made it too easy for us and those around us to be seen and not heard. It’s ok to be quiet. Yet the storms brewing within our thick skin need to have a voice. How often do you face a need for an answer and all you’re getting are shrugged shoulders. Because we’ve allowed people to be quiet. It gives off the scent of not having to participate with. Why don’t words want to be put on a page or a computer screen? The choice to stay still has to be eliminated. What we aren’t seeing or talking about are the moments of doubt lived out by those who constantly ask themselves, “Why didn’t I participate? I truly had a voice and didn’t use it!” The lesson I took from the Beatles Get Back documentary was how every player involved including Billy Preston kept their voices heard. Even while writing iconic music Lennon and McCartney would mumble until the melody had been perfected. Then they went back to craft the lyrics. What if they had stayed silent? Being quiet isn’t laziness. It’s a willingness. A choice that so often invites several moments of what if I had. You’ll never know unless you try.

Keep Your Words To Yourself

Listen to "Keep Your Words To Yourself" on Spreaker. January 14, 2022 This one’s gonna get me kicked off Linkdin. People are physically and mentally tested. Which means there’s a lot of edginess going on. Time for that conversation. Which I’m going to say about one thousand times. It doesn’t matter who’s standing next to another, expect there to be emotional missiles. Time for that conversation. My biggest weakness is identifying the mindset at hand. Rather than supporting the issue, the goal is to call out the negative. I do so by identifying the abusive power. I’m not trying to win a popularity contest. The days of dogs burying their waste are over. Every person on the planet has changed mentally over the past twenty four months. You can see it in the eyes. Attack mode intact. We can’t go there. The daily goal should be to admit the issues. To generate the energy for solutions. Time for a conversation. There are millions of solutions but they’re instantly locked down by decision makers wanting to keep their goals and ambitions fully engaged in an age where not having the conversation is dividing the highway. In a matter of days the biggest of the best are expecting their employees to show up in the office. No questions asked. Really? The one thing that’s always been missing from success is trust and truth. Time for that conversation. The words department heads and those higher are using are infecting the morals and ethics of those who were lucky enough to survive. It’s time to make it known when you’ve been wronged. Time for that conversation. Instead of judging those who’ve chosen to seek employment elsewhere, call out the negative and start correcting the way people are controlled. It’s supposed to be a collaboration not domination. Time for that conversation.

The Daily Mess: Study The Angle Of The Experience

Listen to "The Daily Mess Study The Angle Of The Experience" on Spreaker. January 11, 2022 Winter’s bite. As a child the snow always felt deeper than what we see today. Mainly because I barely stood five feet tall. Twelve to seventeen inches of snow was a mountain. When it’s thirty two degrees in Carolina in 2022 I find myself to be in more pain at fifty nine then I did as a teen in Montana facing forty below zero. The angle of the story. How we look at our moments of Now are based on what angle you are seeing. Don’t pay the ferryman one cent until you’ve study every angle that you’re comparing the situation to. Daily writing. I started in July of 1994. The handwriting may look the same but the way I write and why I write have nothing in common. It’s not the same person, path and or performance. Teach yourself to become more aware of how you’ve evolved. Your point of view isn’t the same. It only feels like you were better off or less of back then. Looking at all the angles allows there to be less judgement and more exploring.

Stream Thinking: Say Hello

Listen to "Stream Thinking Say Hello" on Spreaker. January 10, 2022 There’s so much in the news about a lack of people on the job front. Very few of those stories put focus on the employees that fail to show up on time or even come in. Managers and department heads don’t hold them accountable. If this was the walk and way five to ten years ago we’d all be on the street without recommendations. Job hopping is the new norm. The new pay scale has a lot to do with it. Look at how Snag A Job is turning normal wage earners into better solo performers because the power of choice has challenged them to locate a higher scale of pay without being stuck to a corporation that hasn’t changed their people skills. No day passes that I’m not being introduced to a new coworker. I’m guilty of silently saying, “And how long will you be with us?” Employees need to know the answer! When the new person elects to disconnect the workload doubles for the already tired hired hand. I’m not a job hopper. But I do love the idea of Snag A Job. How will it playout in the long run? Team collaborations and comradery are essential tools in the world of success. Snag A Job puts new people on your street at the drop of a hat. How will it affect and infect those who need to do the same thing in the same environment every day? I grip the definition of change and how it’s waiting for us on every corner. I’m very interested in knowing the strength of the moment by moment team.

Bending The Story

Listen to "Bending The Story" on Spreaker. January 7, 2022 I stood with a man yesterday that was having a difficult time realizing how we’ve been dealing with Covid 19 for two years. As much as I tried to explain that March will mark the anniversary in the United States his choice was to argue with the distance. I watched as he tried to explain personal beliefs. I couldn’t tell if he was denying the pandemic or trying to rewrite history. It only takes one to begin a process of reinvention. This is why I daily write. To not be part of a process of redesigning fact. More of us need to do this. As your jobs evolve back into the workplace document the moment and the emotions. As we race beyond the insurrection or riot put it on a page before the media and politicians erase it. It’s ok to have an indifference. It’s who we are as people. The man finally took note of where reality stand when he chose to count the number of March’s. He went blank. For time had gotten away from him.

Inside Out Dreams

Listen to "Inside Out Dreams" on Spreaker. A night of whacked out sleeping habits. Thirty minute catnaps. Oddly shaped dreams. Nothing with a real message. Now that I’m awake, I want to sleep. Let’s focus on that. What if we had the ability to turn our minds inside out? To have the strength to make reality the dream and the dream our reality? In the new age dream you’d be able to feel, not win lotteries and singing in tune wouldn’t be possible. Would anyone want to fall asleep? Meditation would be the only resting place. This is how I think! To be present with possibility. Not to stimulate the brain but to be aware of the strange. Which we’ve experienced over the past 24 months. It’s as if we’ve been living within the pages of science fiction. Who knew we could fly a helicopter on Mars? Now they’re saying we’re going to live side by side with the pandemic. Winning the Power Ball Lottery will still be an impossibility. What do you dream? Do you listen to them? What if you turned them inside out?

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 276

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 276" on Spreaker. Sitting in a forest hoping it's energy will become words on a page. Then I realize, this is no different than walking up to a comedian telling them to say something funny. Hey Michael Bolton sing a real love song! Or the one that gets me, "We knew you were in radio. Listen to that voice." Which is why I gently glide them into a great conversation about this isn't my voice. It's the growing result of forty two years of great program directors and radio consultants shaping me. Overlooking this forest on the deck puts me twenty three feet up into the trees. That's when I take note of how the trees, tall grasses and slow paced stream aren't really doing the talking. It's what I call "God Space." In all things that we have done, it was planned out days, months or years before you got here. And today happens to be the moment you chose to listen and or react. So many of us live in our past. Everything you do today will be fed by an event from chapters already written. Being mindful of your present means living in the Now. Receiving the story as it's being given to you. It has nothing to do with your past. I don't practice stream thinking. I live it. A lot of us do plenty of practicing bad. Write for ten minutes a day. No judgement. No subject at hand. Just write. Learning to trust the present doesn't just happen. The goal is to know it so you can wear it. The very second someone asks me to write something I freeze up. Stream writing frees me up.

Stream Thinking: Face To Face

Listen to "Stream Thinking Face To Face" on Spreaker. I spent most of my December of 2021 observing people returning to office party celebrations. For many it was a struggle. One person told me that it seemed strange to take note of how tall a co-worker was versus what was being shared via Zoom. The craziness is far from over. The report today said we've had a 948% increase in Covid cases. We are human. We need interaction. Face to face. Person to person. To not only smell you but to feel your vocal vibrations fill the room. I made a choice in September of 2020 to get out there with people at a place of business sporting the label of being essential. This was long before the Delta variant kicked our tail. Learning to listen to people through their eyes is the best way I can describe the experience. I love it when people cruise through the grocery store just to have interaction. A new community has been lifted from the ashes. A man told me yesterday, "We've entered this new age of being heard as well as seen. Two years ago I was just another object in the way of others." Face to face.
