TOPIC: IMPACT PRESENCE

  GAINING CONTROL – THE INNER THINKING TOOLKIT
HANDLING YOUR INNER CRITIC



  • ·         Are you your own worst critic?
    ·         Do you remember events which went wrong?
    ·         Do you brood over mistakes?
    ·         Do you ever find yourself procrastinating?
    ·         Do you ever worry about decisions?

    If so, don’t worry! We all experience the inner critic at some time or another.
     At its worst, this voice can destroy your confidence, affect your performance and prevent you from reaching your potential.

  •  Often what we hear are messages from the past which may not be helpful to the current situation. As a
  • start, draw a picture of your inner critic, give it a voice and a name. Create an identity separate from your
  • own. It is easier to ignore a negative voice which isn’t your own.

TOPIC: MENTORING PROCESS

How will you know that you are ready to be a mentor?


Although mentoring is a common, often unrecognized, activity, it is a form of helping that most people could develop further. Effective mentoring requires certain personal qualities and skills.

 How will you know that you are ready to be a mentor? This is an important question.You can address it in a number of ways:

● Recognise and reflect on the mentoring you do already

● Talk to other mentors

● Talk to people you have already mentored (officially or unofficially)

● Consider the differences between mentoring and management

● Consider the differences between mentoring and other ways of helping,   eg: counselling, coaching, appraisal

● Reflect upon your own experience of being a mentee

You can also address this question by comparing your attributes with those of effective mentors:

● Relevant job-related experience and skills

● Well-developed interpersonal skills

● An ability to relate well with people who want to learn

● A desire to help and develop mentees

● An open mind, a flexible attitude, and a recognition   of their own need for support

● Time and willingness to develop relationships   with mentees

Do you have these attributes? If so, you are ready to mentor.

"SUCCESS MANTRA" # 120


TOPIC: IMPACT PRESENCE

HANDLING REJECTION

We have all experienced rejection, either personally or professionally. It can make us feel devalued and affect the confidence we have in our skills. Positive energy is dynamite for impact and presence. To create it, you need to maintain your self-belief, confidence and motivation.
      
Here are 4 tips for handling rejection:

1.       Get used to handling rejection. Put yourself in situations where you expect to, or know
you will, experience it. This way, you can get used to feeling that it is unimportant. In
her book ‘Irresistibility’, Philippa Davies says, ‘The more you learn to survive the ‘no’ the
greater your courage and the more you will achieve’.

2.       Don’t be bound by fear of failure. Fear of failure can make us deliberately sabotage our
chances of success (‘No wonder I failed that exam – I did no revision.’). Try to approach
failure as a learning opportunity and next time you’ll know exactly how to avoid it.

3.       Go for it! Just imagine. If you don’t get rejected (this time) you will experience that
wonderful life-enhancing event of embracing a challenge and succeeding.

4.       Make a decision to benefit from each experience of rejection. Remember the old
saying? Don’t get mad… get even.

"SUCCESS MANTRA" # 118


TOPIC: DECISION MAKING

SOME DECISION-MAKING ERRORS


Research has identified a few very common errors or points to watch out for when making
decisions, in particular:

Haste - not to be confused with speed. A decision is made before the facts are
available or without taking the facts into account. Decide in haste - regret at leisure.

Narrow perspective - often results in addressing the wrong issue because the real issue
has been pre-judged or confined within a framework of analysis that is inappropriate.

Over-confidence - either in the decision itself or, more commonly, in the
understanding of the issue and facts.

Rules-of-thumb - relying on rough frameworks or shortcuts for important decisions
instead of carrying out adequate analysis.

Filtering - screening out unpleasant findings or those that do not support preconceived
notions or the decision you want to make.

Juggling - lack of analytical framework and, therefore, trying to manage many
variables or pieces of information in your head.
A proper framework helps obviate these problems.

"SUCCESS MANTRA" # 117


TOPIC: ASSERTIVENESS SKILLS

HANDLING CRITICISM

Criticism is useful because it provides feedback on the effects of your behaviour, and you
can decide on whether or not it is beneficial to you. Sometimes criticism is malicious,
unjustified or just plain wrong. Here is a basic procedure or checklist to help you deal
with it.

1. Is the person qualified to make the criticism; do they know you well enough?

2. Is the behaviour being criticised something it is possible for you to change?
(Remember, it is almost impossible for you to change your personality. If you are
naturally ‘shy’ or ‘independent’ that is the way you are and the other person will
have to accept it. You can only change your behaviour).

3. Are you conscious that you do what is being criticised? If not, monitor yourself as
to how often and in what circumstances the behaviour occurs.

4. Does your criticised behaviour occur frequently enough to warrant your attention?

5. Are the results of your criticised behaviour significant enough to warrant your
attention?

6. Reflect on why you might behave in that way - what benefits or disadvantages
might there be for you in continuing with it?

7. Think whether or not you wish to change your behaviour; what would be the
advantages to you?

8. Make the decision whether or not to change, and act on your decision.
