What Are LifeResults Tools?
During the LifeResults Core weekend, you’ll learn powerful concepts, frameworks and tools for mindfulness, communication, and overcoming self-imposed limitations through a mix of engaging activities, group discussions, and self-reflection.
Learn About Each Tool
Title 01
As we go through childhood, we often build layer upon layer upon layer of protection around ourselves as a reaction to hurts, disappointments, conflict, neglect, and fear. Those layers get thicker and thicker until both we, and those around us, lose the ability to see our true self and the magic that we have within us. Learning about this concept helps participants begin to access their magical core that was so natural in childhood – all of their gifts, talents, capabilities, joy, passion and love and respect for themselves and others.
Title 01
There are 6 steps that we generally go through as we grow and develop both personally and professionally, whether we are aware of the steps or not. They are steps that also help in important problem-solving.
Learning exactly what these steps are and knowing which to take next, or possibly where you are stuck in the process, can help you move through growth and decision-making more smoothly and with better results.
Learning about this framework of growth will open up your understanding of where you are in the process, or where you may be stuck, and help you move forward effectively as well as learn to overcome whatever barriers come up for you along the way.
Title 01
As we grow and encounter difficult situations, disappointments, abandonment, hurts and sometimes even abuse, we start to develop mental and emotional survival techniques for self-protection. Often, we react automatically to situations in a negative way. We may get defensive, run away, fail to take necessary actions or pretend that things are find and hope nobody will notice.
These reactions are built in to help us survive, but are often applied in our lives in non-survival situations. This is where damage can happen to ourselves and the people around us whom we love. In every situation, each of us has the opportunity to choose to respond rather than react.
Responding is based on personal and shared goals, and moving things forward for both ourselves and others in our lives. Bringing this idea of choice to light brings new awareness to see when you are automatically reacting in harmful ways and gives you the ability to shift yourself into a place of responding rather than reacting more and more often.
Title 01
Sometimes, as we develop negative patterns of behavior in our lives through automatic reactions, survival techniques and protections against fears, we begin to withhold respect not only from the people around us, but also from ourselves.
Automatic reactions can result in us attacking and negatively judging those around us and ourselves, causing difficulties in our relationships both personally and professionally.
There is another way. A way to intentionally bring respect and acceptance into challenging situations - even when the other person or people are not behaving the way we would like them to. It is possible for even one person in a given situation, with intention, to turn it from a negative conflict to a positive, forward-moving experience.
This tool is one you can carry with you everywhere and into every situation, and we will explore and practice how to use this together.
Title 01
One powerful and effective way that we can break through all of our layers of protection built up around (and hiding) our essence is through mindfulness and guided meditation. The specific guided meditation taught by LifeResults is called "Centering."
Centering allows us to let go of our past or current issues to become present to what is happening right now. Once we are in a centered state, we are much more likely to respond positively or creatively to challenging situations, rather than having those automatic negative reactions. As we practice this meditation technique together in class, you will gain the ability to ground yourself daily so that you can be more effective in your life and relationships.
Title 01
Writing down our thoughts and feelings is a powerful way to clear our mind so that we can be fully present. It is also a great way to get clarity about our goals, visions and choices we have in life regarding our personal and professional paths.
We will explore using journaling as a tool along with prompts and teaching through the LifeResults Core weekend, and we will encourage you to incorporate it into your own life moving forward.
Title 01
Often, as a result of hurts and disappointments, neglect or abuse in childhood, we develop programs and patterns of automatic behaviors that served as protection during a period of survival. Unfortunately, we sometimes still run these same patterns of behavior or programs into adulthood, even when they are no longer serving us in our current life.
Things like "don't talk to strangers" as a child can turn into "don't call customers" as an adult. As we explore this concept, you will gain the ability to identify these programs and patterns and have the opportunity to rid yourself of those that get in the way of the results you want to have in both your personal and professional life.
Title 01
We all want balance in our life. But many of us find that hard to achieve. In this module we will explore the 4 domains in which we can invest time and energy, and identify which domains are receiving too much or not enough time/energy and create a plan for fixing that. By shifting where we invest our time and energy, we can achieve the Balance that we crave.
Title 01
When we are truly heard, it is magical. But very often the person we are talking with is distracted, or judging us, or thinking about something else (like what they are going to say next). We usually are not fully heard. Often times we struggle to overcome the fear, and share our ideas and feelings with others in a powerful way which causes the world to miss out on what we have to say and contribute. In this module, you will learn and practice Active/Open Listening using our technique, and you will practice Speaking Your Truth, sharing how you feel and what you think, even in the face of fear.
Title 01
We know it’s important, and we all want it. But how to do we create it? And how often do we sacrifice our own needs in order to get respect and love from others? How often is our love/respect tank empty? In this module you will learn how to love, respect and take care of yourself (fill up your tank) while also understanding the needs of others and meeting those needs without sacrificing your own needs and emptying your tank.
Title 01
In this guided mindfulness exercise, you will unlock the power of your human mind to envision future outcomes and solve problems/challenges, and then create plans to fulfill on what you have envisioned. This is a process that you can take yourself through whenever you want, and has proven to be a very powerful tool that you can use whenever you are facing a challenge, problem or opportunity.
Title 01
We all encounter negative circumstances, both small and large. This module will give you the ability to notice when you are automatically Reacting out of fear or some other negative emotion and being part of a downward negative Reaction cycle. It will also give you the ability to lead yourself and others to rise above the negative circumstance, and take actions that are aligned with goals, vision and mission rather than fear, anger, frustration, etc. It only takes one person to do that, and when they do, the negative downward spiral is switched to a positive upward spiral.
Title 01
We often try and solve problems or conflict by getting others to change. And other people often try and solve problems or conflict by getting us to change. This approach generates a lot of resentment in ourselves and others. This module will give you the ability to notice when you are trying to change others and shift to identifying what action you can take (or stop taking) that will shift the situation back to a positive one. If my actions are driven by reactions to what the other person is doing, I am not in charge – the other person is. Leadership occurs when I can stay in charge of myself and my actions, because then I have the chance to take actions that will move myself and everyone else forward.
Title 01
Feedback is one of the most powerful forces in life and most of us are not good at giving or receiving feedback. So much of the value of feedback is lost. This happens at work and at home. In this module, you will learn how to give feedback in a way that the other person can hear and use, and to receive feedback in a way that allows you to take advantage of it to improve yourself. This is the key to professional and personal development. It is also the key to having successful relationships at home and work.
Title 01
A significant amount of our time and energy is lost to resentment. Feeling sad or angry about things that have happened to us in the past. In this module you will learn and practice a powerful mindfulness/ centering tool that allows you to identify the grip that resentment has on you, and release it, freeing up energy, time and creativity for that you can use productively.
Title 01
In this guided mindfulness exercise, you will discover the huge and untapped leadership potential that is inside of you and start expressing it. You will discover that each of us can be a powerful leader, even when we are not occupying a traditional leadership role (manager, parent, etc). You will discover that Leadership is a practice not a title.
Title 01
We all have intentions. Sometimes those intentions turn into results. Sometimes they don’t. In this module you will discover what happens when your intentions do not turn into results, and what you can do about it, so that your success rate goes up considerably. Producing results is all about overcoming barriers and obstacles – “Failing Forward”. This is a chance to discover how that mechanism works.
