“As a concept or an experience?”

Personal Development is only one of a handful of things that got me and my networking career straightened out. There are quite a few people who started out as coaches and mentors and  who are now friends that  are equally worthy of mention.

A turning point of my career was when I downloaded and read Success In 10 Steps. That eBook opened a worldview of network marketing that literally had me slapping my forehead and dropping my jaw.

All that and more led me to a bit of education and training that I discovered last December while researching more personal development resources. While surfing the web I came across the phrase “not informative  but transformative learning.”

I had discovered the Landmark Forum and since then an entirely new way of seeing and being has been available to me.

As a way of illustrating how the Forum works, take this very brief conversational exchange that helped me own more deeply the solution to a chronic energy drain.

The presenter was capping off a conversation to which a participant answered, “I got it.” The presenter quickly but pointedly asked, “As a concept or an experience?”

Allow me to translate. “You say you understand but how did you take what I just gave you? As some passing idea that will be bumped out of you mind’s consciousness within the next 20-30 seconds, or as an experience you are now having on several levels of consciousness, none more important than in your heart?”

The ‘heart – mind’ battle is one I have been fighting for some time. If you have too you just might appreciate this exchange as much as I do:

“I got it.”
